Didn't Understand It submitted by crazypockets on June 29, 2012, 11:03am I checked this out at the time I was reading "Ready Player One" because it was mentioned in the book, but I'd never seen it. Plus people had been telling me about how great it was for years. But I think maybe this is one of those movies you have to have grown up with or watched at the time it came out to really appreciate. I was honestly pretty bored with it. I think the effects were probably revolutionary at the time, and the idea was fresh then, but I couldn't get into it here in 2012. And I really didn't understand the ending. One of these days though, I'll read up on this movie, and hopefully that'll get me to appreciate it more.

great movie submitted by johnnyringo on July 1, 2013, 2:37pm great movie

Lost Me at the Ending submitted by KaileyH20 on July 9, 2014, 2:51pm I watched this after reading "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep", after enjoying the book and hearing about how great this film is. I'll say that they plucked a lot of plot of the book right out of the script for the movie, so that things that were critical to the story in the book are only hinted at in the movie, and only if you've read and know what you're looking for.

That being said, I did enjoy the bulk of the movie as an action flick and not an adaption. I completely threw my hands up at the ending though. Whoever was in charge of closing out this movie seemingly did away with a logical train of events and just tacked on something completely random that took you out of the rest of the story.

Blade Runner submitted by tbbrown76 on July 12, 2014, 8:47pm Weird. But cool. A cult favorite.

Ack. So. Boring. submitted by josephwb on August 4, 2015, 6:26pm This is supposed to be the epitome science fiction films, but (and I'm sure I'll lose nerd cred for saying so): it is so dull! One of the most overrated films of all time.

Dark submitted by leenajong on August 18, 2015, 9:40pm I like movies that portray a dystopian future. Some parts of the world, now, resemble scenes taken out of the movie.

Bit slow submitted by ferielp on August 24, 2017, 12:47pm Not quite like the book, and quite a subdued set of performances.

Hmm submitted by anacoluthon on August 20, 2018, 3:48am It was a bit too slow for me. I kept dozing off and couldn't really follow the plot.

Enjoyed the book better submitted by gxtan on July 20, 2019, 6:03pm I read the book first and liked it pretty well, but the movie wasn't as good. It moved slowly and had a strong dark, film noir feel to it, which is not my favorite genre. I also think that there were some things that I only understood because I had read the book. Worth watching as a "classic" sci-fi film if you're interested in that genre.
