With Harrison Ford’s name buzzing thanks to the new Star Wars release, and director Ridley Scott’s The Martian up for a Best Picture Oscar, the time is right to revisit Blade Runner. Although the 1982 sci-fi flick portrays a vision of 2019 that now seems far-fetched, it’s easy to get lost in the dystopian world created by Scott and navigated by Ford. The film tells a tale of corporate greed as the fictitious Tyrell Corporation creates replicants (genetically engineered humans) who go rogue and have to be hunted down.
Sunday 1/31. $6.50, 2pm. The Paramount Theater, 215 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. 979-1333.
