Blade Runner: Dark and sinister commentary on a possible future

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 11:15:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author quitesimply - 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...

Blade Runner: Science Fiction as a Morality Play

Wed, 29 Sep 2004 12:34:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author steerpyke - 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...

Blade Runner: Still #1 on my list...

Sat, 15 Jun 2002 06:47:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author spiderca - 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...

Blade Runner: A dark yet intriguing movie

Wed, 16 Jan 2002 10:28:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SimonCook - Ridley Scott, a serious purveyor of modern day science fiction movies that prove that sci-fi is more than simple concepts and aliens, proves with some of his earliest movies that he has a penchant of sublime and idiosyncratic movies. With the likes of...

Sat, 10 Mar 2001 08:58:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobthewidget - 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.

Blade Runner: Sci-Fi meets art.

Thu, 14 Dec 2000 08:03:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author the_toecutter - This is not a review of the movie in so much as it is an example of what, in my opinion, more sci-fi movies should try to strive to become.

I felt it necessary to write this review for the simple fact that the artistic genre of sci-fi films...

Blade Runner: a brooding masterpiece

Mon, 11 Dec 2000 00:08:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mkwensky - Blade Runner is not an easy film to like. It has little overt characterization, a slow pace, and a lot of background information to absorb before the whole thing makes any sense. I remembered hating that film when I saw it the first time. But, it was...

Blade Runner: of incept dates and premature decrepitude: Blade Runner

Tue, 5 Dec 2000 06:32:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mangiotto - If the three pillars of science fiction are time, space, and identity - there are possibly no better nor more exquisite modern examples of the form than an early trio of Ridley Scott films released in the five year period between 1977 and 1982: The...

Blade Runner: Harrison Ford, a hot chick, and robots...what a flick!!

Thu, 16 Nov 2000 19:11:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jeffs320 - There are really only a few movies about the future that I can watch over and over again and not get sick of. The Road Warrior is definitely one, then you always have Star Wars (who could hate those movies?), and Blade Runner has got to be on the top of...

Blade Runner: A title escapes me....

Fri, 15 Sep 2000 15:36:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Gideon_Twist - This has been one of my favorite movies since I was nine. The first time I saw this was with my dad, and it was the original version (out of print and nigh impossible to find, save an auction), not the new director's cut.

The second...

Blade Runner: So good it Hurts.

Mon, 7 Aug 2000 15:23:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author detroit_magda - Blade Runner is one of the best films ever. In fact, If any movie deserves the "Best" title, it should be this movie. Powerful themes of death and searching for meaning in life teamed with Ridley Scotts' unparalleled view of the future is...

Blade Runner: "The thinking man's A.I.?"

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BladeRunner - "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...

Blade Runner: One of the Greatest futuristic films.

Tue, 18 Jul 2000 00:08:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kg22384 - There are few dramatic films that are set in the future that I think are well made. It's very hard to make these types of films and not get bogged down with explaining all the gadgets, social standing, government setup... etc, etc. Most films about the...

Blade Runner: Don't look at the genre, look at the movie.

Fri, 30 Jun 2000 11:32:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jbannon - 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...

Blade Runner: Are We Not Men?

Tue, 20 Jun 2000 15:17:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author George_Chabot - Blade Runner (1982)

Possibly Director Ridley Scott’s greatest work, Blade Runner stars Harrison Ford as "Rick Deckard", a blade runner, newspeak for detective/hitman. The year is 2019 and the environment has deteriorated to...

Blade Runner: Suffocating on a Dream

Fri, 16 Jun 2000 20:13:26 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author j_christley - The staggering cult popularity of this film, even seventeen years after its release, is easy to understand. It's a visual masterpiece, a film with a look all its own. It has a plentitude of theological and philosophical subtexts, so fans can wax literate...

Blade Runner: Kooky Scientists and Robots! What More Could You Ask For?

Tue, 13 Jun 2000 00:32:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author aaronreview - Blade Runner was a very interesting movie to say the least. First and foremost it had the key element to almost any science fiction movie: Kooky scientists. I can see why Blade Runner did better then movies set in a bleak and desolate future such as...

Blade Runner: You Don't Know D*ck

Tue, 13 Jun 2000 00:04:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MK2K - Certain films age like wine, and are perpetual bliss on celluloid. These same films, if only for the reason that they are so good, are also perpetual thorns in the side to critics. You know the movies I’m talking about… those culturally significant...

Blade Runner: One word, overrated

Wed, 7 Jun 2000 13:45:22 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author JackFoley - I had heard all the raves about it. The visionary filmmaking that it was, what a classic sci-fi film it was. So I rented it. This has to be the most overrated film of all time!

Harsh words I know, but hear me out. The main praise I hear about...

Tue, 6 Jun 2000 00:43:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Excalibur51 - Ah yes, Ridley Scott's sci-fi masterpiece in all it's glory. And guess what? I got to see the director's cut! But sadly, as long as I have waited to see this film, it didn't have much of an impact on me.

Sure, the special effects and set...

Blade Runner: No more can I say

Mon, 5 Jun 2000 14:56:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thewasp - 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...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author swoeste -

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...
