Best Sci-Fi movie ever??? It is close!!!

Look it's quite simple there are those who worship Blade Runner and those who just don't get it. For those who don't you're either too shallow and simplistic (sorry if I offend anyone there) or haven't given it enough of a chance yet. I myself didn't really get into it until I was old enough to properly absorb such a beautiful, complex tapestry of a movie, but now that I do, my god, if this isn't one of the greatest films of all time I don't know what is. From Vangelis' incredible score to the faultless FX to Ford's wonderfully downbeat performance this film exudes a beauty and ambience that has influenced countless films since yet has never been beaten. Plagued by on-set troubles between Director Ridley Scott and Harrison Ford as well as a disenchanted crew it's a miracle the film turned...

A thinking man's sci-fi journey

We showed this film at University to our Theater Arts Club (we showed the director's cut by the way) and once the credits rolled a girl named Jenny stood up and exclaimed, "What the hell does that mean?!?"

With a wry smile we simply repeated one of Harrison's best lines: "How can you not know what you are?"

Chalk this one up to being a thinking man's sci-fi journey to finding the cradle of the soul, which shows a disturbing futuristic version of Los Angeles, and where the only redeeming values to being human are the facts that when one murders it is called "retirement" and when one is born one lives longer than about 4 years.

I've Seen Things You People Wouldn't Believe

Directed by genius film maker, Ridley Scott (Alien, Gladiator, American Gangster), Blade Runner happens to be one of the top 10 best science-fiction films I've ever seen, and science-fiction is possibly my favorite genre of film.

Written by Philip K. Dick, (who's books would also be the basis for films such as:Minority Report (2002) & Total Recall (1990)), the film and story creates a future that is a realistic and plausible as, Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film, 2001: A Space Odyssey and George Orwell's dystopic novel, 1984. The story is based in L.A. during the year 2019. The film follows Rick Deckard, who's job is to job track down and kill "replicants" (a replicant is a human clone that was used for slavery years before. By the time Blade Runner begins, replicants a considered ileag...
