Grade: 1.5 out of 5 (Marginal)

Rationale: I don't have words to describe how disappointed I was with Blade Runner. The combination of Harrison Ford and futuristic sci-fi should have been a home run considering how I feel about that combination in Star Wars and how well thought of Blade Runner is. Sadly it just never clicked with me and I found myself disinterested almost from the start. What a shame. I even tried to watch it a second time, thinking I may have not given it a fair shake the first go around and nothing changed. I still love Harrison Ford and I still love sci-fi, but I'll stick to Star Wars from now on and do my best to forget Blade Runner.
