Los Angeles. 2019. What about New Jersey. 2016. Hmm? How deep can one go into the world of what many consider THE science fiction film-noir hybrid in the history of the cinematic art-form? Blade Runner is cited as Ridley Scott's masterwork, loaded with visual splendor (via the great Douglas Trumbull and his team), and featuring Rutgetr Hauer at his Rutger-yest. But is it a movie that is, shall we say, *coherent*? What does it have to say about humanity or what it means to be a Replicant? Is Deckard a Replicant and, more to the point (this is not a question) who should care.
