I watched this for the first time tonight, simply because before it dropped to $5.50 at Wal*Mart, I refused to give Warner money for a substandard release.
Anyways, overall I thought the film was good. However, I was disappointed in the amount of story that was there. I wanted more interaction between characters. I wanted more back story. I wanted more clues as to what was happening. Christ, Scott pulled a fast one on all of us with the Deckard thing, basically because he gave us 2 clues that were so weak as far as clues go that if I was just some bump on the log in Tennessee I would have never figured this out.
For the first half of the film, I was like...why are you obsessed with everyone's eyes. Get over it. And then when he showed the scene with the owl, I was like "That's it, jagoff. 3 minutes dedicated to this owl's eyes is getting pretty lame" And then it hit me. The things that were glaring, sticking out at you as so 'out of the mold' so almost annoying at how they didn't belong were clues. Like the pictures in Deckard's apartment of women that had to have been taken 150 years before the film was supposed to take place. You begin to think either he is collecting them from replicants or he is one.
There are some things that don't make sense to me yet on the ending, I mean...Deckard's discovery. Plus, they open up alot more questions. Hopefully we can get an SE of this sometime soon so I can have the director explain it to me.
Anyways, other than that I thought it was great. As a noir, I loved the rain soaked, shadow filled scenes.
