Blade Runner is a 1982 science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott, and written by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples. Starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young and Edward James Olmos, the film is set in a dystopian future Los Angeles of 2019, in which synthetic humans known as replicants are bio-engineered by the powerful Tyrell Corporation to work at space colonies. When a fugitive group of advanced replicants led by Roy Batty (Hauer) escapes back to Earth, burnt-out cop Rick Deckard (Ford) reluctantly agrees to hunt them down.
The Voight-Kampff test was designed to distinguish replicants from humans based on their emotional response to questions. Deckard meets with the CEO of the company that creates the replicants, Eldon Tyrell, so he can administer the test on a replicant to see if it works. Tyrell expresses his interest in seeing the test fail first and asks him to administer it on his assistant Rachael. After a much longer than standard test, Deckard concludes that Rachael is a replicant who believes she is human.

Of course.
I was reliving it.
Unique and powerful movie.
I watched the Blade Runner 2049 sequel, and really couldn't get into it at all. Your reaction?

Yeah, it was astoundingly boring. For that matter I could not tell you anything about it other than it mostly confirmed Decker was a replicant (the gold eyes in one scene and unicorn origami figures were the clues in the original movie).
It was so anticipated and such a let down. I hope Top Gun 2 does not dissappoint as badly.
Oh dang I forgot the spoiler alert again!
I’d stupid-shame the dealership on the internet.
Re Blade Runner 2049, you said:
“astoundingly boring.”
I agree. a story line that wasn’t very involving. Some interesting photography, but repetitive and dreary.

Maybe it really was just an elaborate ruse to find out if she was a lesbian...
