This then only deserves a '1'. So the idea behind it is not to watch the original at all, not even know about it and then with a clean slate watch this one and then give it a review. I could not because I went physically to the movie hall to watch the original in 1990. But I have to counteract my own philosophy because the three-titted bimbo in the first fifteen to twenty minutes of the remake has been lifted as it is from the original! So The 'Original' stands out as a towering Monolith even for the remakers. Seriously, I could not even get through the first twenty minutes of this film and had to shut it just down. Even seeing the 'hero' I kept on asking, where is that middle-aged man in his late thirties, or early forties which is so clearly etched into my mind from the original? Let us keep it straight here, the original was so good, no remakes should be ever made of it ever....if done they will just pale away .. as this one did. A very miserable hand at Philip K. Dick's story.
