Quote:I've always thought that Blade Runner was well done, but precisely *not* in relation to the Philip K. Dick novel. It took its leave of the source material whenever it wanted, and is the better movie for it.I read it some 20 years ago, but I don't remember it being that much different than the story.
Or, put in your checklist, they changed the mood, spirit, and plot, which pretty much tosses out authenticity as well. What saves it is that it's a killer movie.
