Is it just me or is there an itch that you get every now and then that can ONLY be scratched by watching Blade Runner? (lemmy.world)

IDK I feel like I never really enjoyed Blade Runner as much as I should have. Like so much Sci-Fi, it's pure setting. They did a 10/10 job on the setting. But the actual plot is pretty meh, I don't really care if he's a robot or not.

    Don’t take this the wrong way, but learn how to watch a movie you stupid fucking piece of shit.

    Really, though, yeah, it’s very much a setting and world building kind of story before it even tries to be anything else. I love it all around, but I can definitely see where you’re coming from. A good lot of sci-fi is more focused on setting, theming, and world building more than any kind of independent story within it, unless it’s something that gets a lot of continuity to build a story and characters in the framework of the world that can be more of a focus than the world itself, like Star Wars or Star Trek. 2049, I think, did a better job at making a character story since the original did so much to establish the world it was happening in, but I also just get a hard on for world building.
