Los Angeles, 2019. [View all]

I watched the "Final Cut" of Blade Runner today, which begins with the title, "Los Angeles, 2019."

Flying cars, lots of rain...um...um...

Los Angeles looks a little different than expected in 1982, I think.

There are no replicants in Los Angeles, from what I can tell, but I may be missing something.

I especially liked the part where they get kind of "sciency," when Tyrell tells Batty why he can't live. It was less silly than some things you see in science fiction.

It was though, I think, a pretty good movie, if you like that sort of science fiction sort of thing. I'm not, in general, a science fiction fan, but I liked this one.
