Negative Positive
Title: "LOS ANGELES, 2019 . . . ."
Review: After seeing "Blade Runner," i'm fearing the future. Ridley Scott (director) paints a rather vivid and disturbing picutre of what L.A. will look like in the furute. Harrison Ford's portrayal of a worn-out detective is rather bland, and it is the impressive special effects and art direction that saves this film. The futuristic setting is dark, rainy, neon-lit, smoky, slimy, and polluted. Is this what L.A. will look like in seventeen years? I certainly hope not.The plot could have been interesting. Several "replicants" (robots) have been unleashed in L.A., and detective Ford is assigned to track down and kill them. The film moves at a slow pace, but it saved by the fight scene at the end.This movie could be much better. The whole idea of Ford's character being a robot is laughable. His voice-over narration sounds like he's drunk and sunken...
