Put simply, the biggest flaw with them is this: Playing it safe. The issue with that mentality, however, is a tenuous result which lacks originality of any sort. When made available, the lowest hanging fruit will almost always be the one to grab, especially when tens of millions of dollars are at stake.

If theyвЂ™re a benefit itвЂ™s not my problem.

SequelsвЂ¦ Sequels are like any other movie theyвЂ™re either a benefit or a hazard. But with a new crew (Denis Villeneuve replacing Ridley Scott, JГіhann JГіhannsson, Benjamin Wallfisch and Hans Zimmer replacing Vangelis and Ryan Gosling replacing Harrison Ford), I was met with a fair amount of skepticism.ДЄnd then thereвЂ™s the problem with sequels themselves. My hopes and expectations regarding its sequel were set very high. Taking this into consideration, ScottвЂ™s world, though groundbreaking and jaw dropping to behold, never strays too far from our own reality.

Buildings were either constructed in full or as a miniature. It is also worth noting that CGI was not used in the production of this film. Upper class areas can be characterized by a warm tone, cleanliness and a predominantly Caucasian population while lower class areas are steely, crime-ridden, grimy and multicultural. The out-there architecture and fashion hooks the eye and mind. Smoke and torrential downpour create drama.

ItвЂ™s dark, spooky and mechanical while somehow feeling organic, alive and full of personality, which, in a way, describes the driving ethos of the film itself.ДЇrom the start of the movie, the viewer is immersed into Ridley ScottвЂ™s intricately crafted surrealist dreamscape of a setting. VangelisвЂ™s soundtrack is arguably its own character in the film. ItвЂ™s a twist of the classic noir archetype made popular by famous films of yesteryear such as 1946вЂ™s вЂњThe Big SleepвЂќ. The replicants, described as вЂњmore human than humanвЂќ give him doubt about what defines a person and, by extension, the ethicality of the life he lives. The protagonist, Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), is a вЂњBlade RunnerвЂќ, a special police officer tasked with вЂњretiringвЂќ (a sadistic synonym for execution) bad guy humanoids known as replicants. ItвЂ™s a relatively linear plot with serious thematic underpinnings. вЂњBlade RunnerвЂќ, in my mind, is nothing shy of a masterpiece.

In my mind, doing that in 2017 is like naming your firstborn son Leonidas heвЂ™s going to have to be pretty great. That said, thus cannot be the case if you attach two words as grand in scale as вЂњBladeвЂќ and вЂњRunnerвЂќ to the title. It is my belief that just about every film has something to appreciate and admire. IвЂ™ll watch old, new, big budget, small budget, arthouse, domestic and foreign films. I know the вЂњFast and FuriousвЂќ movies are terrible but if you wouldnвЂ™t sign up to see Transporter and the Rock throw down in prison, then now might be as good of a time as any to remove the stick. IвЂ™m liberal with the amount IвЂ™ll suspend my disbelief and I place an immense amount of weight on a movieвЂ™s simple entertainment factor. Unlike many film analyzers (emphasis on the former syllable), I genuinely like and love most movies. Whenever I watch a movie, I always go in with high hopes and usually come out with good feelings.
