Film: Blade Runner by Ridley Scott

Over the years I've made several attempts to watch this film in full and never succeeded. I tried again and failed. It is a very good science fiction film, and has not aged at all badly since 1982.

The only thing that dates it slightly are the captions which say "2019", not far off now - but that is a little unfair.

So I got about half way through again, a moody Harrison Ford looking to retire replicants. It probably is one of his better performances, being as he was trapped in the middle of the first Star Wars franchise.

Maybe I will get it on DVD and make myself watch it as it does deserve that attention. Ridley Scott is also a great director with such close attention to detail.
