I saw “Blade Runner: Final Cut” at the Camera 7 Pruneyard tonite. The adventure started with a $10 ticket price – pretty steep for any film, especially a 25 year-old re-release.
Overall the appearance feels dated now, though still an intriguing story. Having spent some time in Japan, I don’t understand why the location is a mixture of Japanese and American cultures – since they really don’t mix in real life.
This cut is definitely an adult version – Zhora is nude most of her time on screen, and the Batty and Tyrell scene is more gruesome than I remember.
Rachael (Sean Young) is annoyingly vapid, but I can’t tell if that’s deliberate acting, or just Sean Young being herself.
A convincing argument that Harrison is not an android is that for a Nexus 7 model working as a policeman, he was remarkably weak compared to the escapees.
Next time I see this film, likely it’ll be to look for continuity errors and listen to the great lines.
Tyrell: “More human than human” is our motto.
