Blade Runner

Visually stunning and completely immersive. Great performances by Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Daryl Hannah, Edward James Olmos etc. Ridley Scott does some impressive visuals, camera work, lighting etc. Love the completely immersive dark, gritty, rainy dystopia portrayed. I love that the camera sometimes lingers on details or zooms out to show you more of the world. Fantastic...

"Blade Runner," Ridley Scott's iconic 1982 sci-fi masterpiece, is a film that transcends time with its **thematic depth** and **stunning visual design**. Having immersed myself in all the various cuts of the movie, I can confidently say that each version provides a unique experience worth exploring. From the original U.S. Theatrical Cut with its voice-over narration to the more enigmatic Direct...

Experienced on the big screen in the Everyman Cinema was just about the best way to loose myself in this spectacular SCI FI  masterpiece. Without Doubt “Blade Runner” has been extremely influential since its original release over 40 years ago and it’s technical wonder and effects are still as inspiring today. Doug Trumble’s effects, Larry Paull’s production design and the downtown L.A. location sh...

**A magnificent work, if we consider the time when it was released and the technical resources that existed.** Honestly, I didn't expect much from this movie. It was a film that was not successful in theaters and that only took off when it went to VHS, acquiring admirers since then and becoming one of the most respected films of all time. Set in a profoundly dystopian Los Angeles, it raises man...

This time, it is Ridley Scott's turn to offer us his prognostication of a future wherein corporate America has, ostensibly benignly, introduced the ultimate in labour saving devices - androids called "replicants" - which have a look and feel of people about them. These "Nexus" creations can turn their hands to just about anything, but when the latest off-world models rebel, all of their cousins be...

I have only viewed the Final Cut, and judging by reviews elsewhere this is possibly the most complete and satisfying version of them all. I cannot truthfully say I am in awe with this film as I found it quite plodding at times. But having said that the visionary aspects, the bleak surrounds, and the air of hopelessness that permeates throughout most of the film is exceptionally well done. I...

Some people will say this classic sci-fi "has nothing to offer other than overrated cult-status". To that, I would respond, "it has Rutger Hauer on a rooftop, and that's enough for me". _Final rating:★★★★ - Very strong appeal. A personal favourite._ (3.5 for the Theatrical Cut, 4.0 for the Final Cut)

The movie's story didn't do much for me, however I did find parts of it confusing. After watching it I found out that I watched the "Final Cut" which has a completely different ending and different implications from the theatrical release. I didn't understand those implications...I needed to look up the ending online. Whether that's because the movie is confusing or I'm dumb, I can't say. But my f...
