A lot of what’s good about the movie is what is unsaid. There are also a lot of nuances to what the actors say or do. I’ve seen the movie several times and always come away with something new I didn’t see before.

Then again, I’m an old fart.

I liked the Director’s Cut better.

I thought Daryl Hannah’s character was delightfully weird.

My criticism of the movie comes from the too simple story and I didn’t find any of the characters that interesting, or at least not Ford’s Deckard character.

Maybe if I had seen this movie when it first came out 26 years ago I’d have loved it and have some nostalgia for it, but I didn’t.

It is good that Deckard is not totally untouchable like a lot of protagonists in sci-fi and action movies, but he seemed to be a little too inept for me. I was wondering why is he such a special blade runner? I didn’t see him do anything special at all beyond what I’d expect a standard cop to be able to do in those situations.

I also think that the mistake is thinking this is a typical Harrison Ford hero movie. It’s not. I also think we take the acting for granted – it was awesome overall.

What I like about the movie is that the hero was fallible, human, and not invincible. He didn’t have to win. He was allowed to live because the badass android showed himself to be more human than Harrison was.

The dark gritty, future imagery was something special then, but maybe not so much now. But no woman has ever smoked a cigarette so seductively as Sean Young. Every young male watching her had to have her, and could understand why Ford would give up everything for her.

Sorry, it’s just not Indiana Jones. It’s more intellectual than bashing Nazis trying to steal archaeological treasures.
