Apollyon Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Did you like the movie rendition of Do Androids Dream, etc - Blade Runner? I thought it was fantastic.Everyone likes Blade Runner, surely? It's a very fine piece of scifi noir.The film does miss out on many of the book's more interesting elements, though, such as the real/fake animal hierarchy. It does supply some of its own too, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
