I convinced a friend to finally watch all the movies, a marathon of note, in preparation. And that effort was certainly not wasted. It has been a very long time that I gasped and covered my face in a theatre. The movie has a good mix of good old faithful, tried and tested sci-fi bits, but enough originality and creativity to truly keep you mesmerized. Definitely up there in my top 3 at least. More nuance is given to synthetics, on a similar note to David in later movies, without leaning too heavily into philosophical debates. Truly enjoyable and horrifying.
