Hardly generic- it is somewhat generic after what has come since, as there has been so much cheap copying of the original.

- TeaBrain 1y agoIn Blade Runner's case, the art design is superb. As I mentioned in my parent comment, that's not what I referred to as generic. The script though is what is generic and ham-fisted compared to the novel. It's also not a case of that meme, as I was comparing to the novel, and to earlier films which it is derivative of while taking just the skeleton of the plot from the novel.
