Blade Runner

Pros: A very depp and dark movie that is full of atmosphere and intrigue.
Cons: The director's cut may be to difficult for some to follow.

After watching Witness, an excellent bi-cultural movie that shows the diversity of Harrison Ford’s acting abilities, I decided to revisit another classic Harrison Ford movie. There are many movies that can be classed as Classics, but there are not ...

Pros: Great performances, striking visuals, morbid atmosphere
Cons: a bit confusing for casual viewers

I will start by telling u the truth - this is an absolutely brilliant film, a real cinema masterpiece. It has no equal in terms of style or atmosphere. Ridley Scott has played his ace and its a cracker.

Harrison Ford is the super-cop hired...

Pros: Ahead of its time for a 1982 movie. Director Ridley Scott is a genius.
Cons: I wish the movie went on forever!

Blade Runner is a rather dark and complicated movie, so I actually had to watch it about 3 more times before I understood what was going on. Its fantastic futuristic urban imagery is mesmerizing and hard to believe it was made back in 1982. This movie...

Pros: Visual masterpiece...cinematography, sets, costumes, lighting & makeup are exquisite.
Cons: Not for the happy-go-lucky types.

Other movies in my Top Ten list come and go but Blade Runner -- Director's Cut or original -- still remains. The older I become, and the more I lose youthful idealism and hope, the more the movie means to me. Ridley Scott has gone on to create many more...

Pros: the original and best dark future film
Cons: a bit dark for some tastes

The world of Blade Runner ia a world of contrasts, it is at once familiar and strange, futuristic and retrospective, sprawling and confined. Set against the backdrop of the Los Angeles of the not too distant future with its dramatic skylines, and urban ...

Pros: Awe inspiring special effects.
Cons: Occasional lame acting, monotone voice over.

I first saw "Blade Runner" in 1982 when it was released that summer in the theaters. From the opening scenes showing 21st century Los Angeles wreathed in fire spewing from its inner city oil refinery towers, to the sun-drenched...

Pros: Plot-driven sci-fi with characters you sympathize with in spite of yourself
Cons: No city has ever changed its appearance that much in a scant 37 years

If "Mission to Mars" is a too optimistic vision of what the world will look like in twenty years, "Blade Runner" is probably too pessimistic. But that is not a con. You can't even say that the film is being pretentious when no one...

Pros: artistry, cinematography
Cons: --

The MischievIous Genius here with the skinny:

Besides mind blowing cinematography ahead of its time and great acting from Harrison Ford, Daryl Hannah, Edward James Almos, and Rutger Haugher, Bladerunner is one of the most artistic and thought...

Pros: No feel-good conclusion, No voice-over, Visually stunning
Cons: Darryl Hannah

I completely agree with kurt h's take on the director's cut of 1982's "Blade Runner." The film follows the attempt of a poisoned and neglected Earth to keep up with an industrial hegemon that has left the planet deserted and riddled with...

Pros: amazing set design, great story & music, overall a brilliant film (and cut)
Cons: not one

Is it possible that this film was made in 1982??? I've watched it over and over throughout the years, and it still looks fresh and intense and new.

Blade Runner is the futuristic story of Deckard (Harrison Ford), a replicant...

Pros: Stunning visuals, intense soundtrack, incredible story
Cons: graphic violence, profanity, nudity (if you call that a con)

I'm one of those people that always tries to read the companion book to any movie that comes out. This was no exception. "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?" was one of those books that prepared the viewer in NO WAY for the movie, and I was...

Pros: Atmosphere
Cons: Not much

Blade Runner is a classic film that was made even better with Director's Cut of the film. The film has a wonderful underlying theme which asks, "Are we really human?" This theme, the wonderful noir feel, and the acting all make this movie...

Pros: Striking visuals, understated acting
Cons: Not for a raucous mood. It's very subtle.

In brief:
To look at Ridley Scott's Blade Runner as a sci-fi flick is to look at Jonas Salk and say that he was just another chemist. The story, visuals, and acting make for an ethereal study of self-realization & human nature worthy of its...

Pros: Unforgettable art direction, a fascinating story, top-notch acting, and a vision of the future that has influenced hundreds of other films.
Cons: A long, unwinding plot that may leave viewers with short attention spans trying to figure out what's going on.

Blade Runner is a puzzle of a movie, a film that sometimes seems to be told backwards. It is the probably the most influential film of the last twenty years, a stunningly original sci-fi thriller that is also disturbing, thought-provoking, and undeniably...

Pros: Stylish cinema at it's best.
Cons: Hollywood's fear of taking risks.

"I walked out of the theater and thought- 'Something's not right, this guy's(George Lucas) making Star Wars? And what's interesting is, the next film I made was Alien.'"-Ridley Scott. This Science Fiction influence on...
