I think you just figured out what movie my wife and I are going to watch this evening. I've never seen the original...and no I don't live under a rock (now), I just did for a long period of time In my twenties.

Upvote for you! Thanks for the idea.

EDIT: I never answered your original question posed in your post...yes we'll probably be going to see the new one when it comes out! Gotta watch the original first though.

Ah, very cool! It's somewhat dark and edgy. It influenced cinema in some interesting ways. Let me know what you think of it. :)

Yes you're right it was pretty dark! It was interesting to see the ways that the movie portrayed how Los Angeles and humanity evolved by 2019.

They nailed it as far as huge mega corporations creating technological advances that endanger the public's well-being
Bio-engineering capability had obviously exceeded what we have today and what we'll see in the next couple of years but there's still some scary stuff going on in right now, a lot of which the public is not really aware.
The propaganda-like advertising barrage shown in the movie was pretty accurate in comparison to what we're exposed to every day
It was kind of funny to see the heavy Chinese influence on the west coast in the movie as there's been much more of a huge influx of Hispanic culture in that area as opposed to Chinese.
The acid rain...I'm glad we haven't destroyed the planet as badly as is shown in the movie. Yet.

The movie did pose a lot of good ethical questions as far as bio engineering goes, what is ethical, what makes a human a human, how closely should mankind get to creating human-like entities that are capable of thought and feeling and should they be used as slave labor (probably not).

On a lighter note, we're going to see the new Blade Runner when it comes out but probably after it's been out for a couple of weeks as my wife and I are somewhat reclusive and we don't like crowded theaters.

It'll be interesting to see what life is really like in 2049 if we're not overrun by A.I. (Skynet / killer robots that DARPA is surely already building) or some genetically engineered monstrosity (probably a disease) that's created in a bio-lab.

I was always kind of curious what the .mhth on your witness account stands for...now I know. Thanks again for the movie idea :)
