Blade Runner **
Ridley Scott, 1982
US
@ Egyptian Theater
Visually and aurally stunning. Very glad I got to see this in the theater. I had to wonder from time to time if all the smoke and fog was a way to hide flaws in the set, kind of like in 3D video games when the processor can't draw the world fast enough. In general, though, the atmosphere and architecture are so fantastic that it feels as if the detais of this particular story are somehow a letdown. Not that there's a problem with the basic Replicant<->monster<->human continuum/conflict, but that some bits, like Sebastian's toy pets, and much of the chase near the end seem cartoonish rather than astonishing.
