Blade Runner | BFI 75

Blade Runner

Scott's 1982 classic defined the neo-noir genre. Harrison Ford is exemplary as the world-weary detective searching for replicants amidst a neon-lit, rain splattered, darkly gothic Los Angeles of the future.

This film is amazing!!!

The film is a brilliant. It has everything an amazing film score by vangelis, Romance, action, horror, sci-fi etc (a cliche way to desribe the film, but this is what it has). Ridley scotts direction on this film is brilliant and after watching the new final cut 5 disc set extras i learn even more about the film and see it in yet another way. Even though this film has been released as either directors cut final cut etc. it still works and each version is different in its own little way.
The acting is top notch and Rutger Hauers' performance is mezmerising.
I recommend this film to anyone. Friends who i have told about this film who don't like sci-fi films have said the same as myself and been totally sucked into its world.

Thanks
Josh

Keeps getting better

I must watch this film at 3 times a year, and each time I see some detail that I haven't seen before.

The layers of detail that Ridley Scott and his team put in have influenced so many films since, and it's hard to see where sci-fi, thrillers and even written popular fiction would be without it.

Over a quarter of a century old, and getting better

The film that me and my friends debated endlessly in the 1980s and 90s.
A comment on humanity, genetics and the future.
I've seen it, and its various incarnations, every few months for over a quarter of a century. It hasn't dated.
