Blade Runner


Genre: Sci-Fi, Action
Year of release: 1982
Director: Ridley Scott
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe."
Director's cut/final cut rules. I haven't sceen the original blade runner but i have heard that essential things are not in it. See the director's cut or final cut they are really good and I just love the ending. I waited to watch this movie for a long time it was on my list of movies to watch for ages every time i would go to the video store it would be out of something, when I watched this movie for the first time it did not make to huge of an affect on me, I still decided to buy it and the second viewing for me was out of this world.

Blade runner is set in the future and is about replicants who come back to earth, replicants are man made people who look and act like humans they are ileagal in earth and are to be executed/retired the people with the job of retiring these replicants are called blade runners. Harrison Fords character Rick Deckard who is a great character, has the job of retireing 4 replicants that have come back to earth to get a longer life span, longer that their usual of 4 years. This movie contains my 4th faviorite bad guy Roy Batty(1st Joker, Hanibal, Darth Vader and Norman Bates is pretty close) pretty much just because of one scene right at the end if you have sceen this movie you will know which one. I love Harrison Ford his characters are always so awesome, I love the way ridley scott thinks the future will be like, I love the hidden things that you do not pick up on the first time.

Harrison Ford has always been one of my personal favorites he always seems to pull off the awesome bad ass dude that gets into lots of action and adventure but blade runner is more deep then Star Wars or Indiana Jones, its a very perfectly made film that harrison ford was born to play in. Harrison is not super out-going seeking adventure like he is in Indiana Jones or Star Wars, he is more or less an ordaniary guy...

Ridley Scott is a great director he has made every scene in Blade Runner perfect and necessary each scene adds to the greatness of this film, and the way Ridley Scot sees the future seems very realist things are not going to be fine and dandy I believe the world is going to become more of a shit hole as the future progresses. The world has always been getting progressively worse in my opinion and that trend will probably continue like that and turn in to what Ridley Scott has shown in Blade Runner.

This movie is a must see, however i didnt really like it the first time compared to how much i like it now. 103 on imdb is pathetic, Blade Runner should be a lot higher. In conclusion kick ass. Watch it ... more that once.

10/10
