A movie that inspired so many, the Replicants instantly screamed Westworld to me. Visually stunning, fascinating world building, nice costumes, the city looks amazing, atmospheric as hell, unique score, the special effects still look neat and the lighting is perfection. The only things that didn't age well are some of the tech within the movie (picture zoom-in on TV, public phone booth) but they have a certain charm to them. It started real strong in the first act but kinda lost me in the second, could have used more action or just more happening in the story cause I was getting bored. The few instances of action are very short-lived and a bit weird. I didn't really feel challenged on an intellectual level either. Sadly a prime example of style over substance, and it sure excels in the style department.
