I never have liked Bladerunner, but I do like certain ideas in the film. How it ties sight and the eyes to being human and having emotion is interesting, and never knowing for sure if Deckard is a replicant allows for a lot of room for interpretation, which is great. I think the setting has a lot to do with my disliking the film. I don't see why the plot has to be set in a weird Chinatown in a bleak future. Anyway, the film has some good points, but I really don't like it overall.

Kind of a continuation of the comment from above concerning the advertisements......
I thought it pretty interesting that while there were many mentions of the alternate places to live (can't remember off the top of my head what they were called), there was never any real concrete evidence that we see in the movie that they even really existed. I think it goes a long way toward really accentuating the bleak outlook of 2019 L.A. There aren't even any pictures in the advertisements if I remember correctly, so there's no way to cut through how bad the city is.
