Really Surprised!
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
I basically just made an account so I can review this: OK I'm willing to accept that maybe back in the day it was an OK movie, but if somebody would recommend me this as a good sci-fi cyberpunk (also it apperently tries to be a Noir?) movie today, I would have to punch him in a face. I'm sorry, the characters lacks... well characters. Over 50% of a time you are watching a silent movie and when they speak the sound is so badly captured I have to rewind just to check what they said. (not all the time I admit but it's still bad) Come to think of even camera job is sometimes sloppy and the pacing is sluggish at best (I'm watching a dude climbing stairs for a two minute realizing that if somebody cut that out, no one would miss a thing, but that's just nitpicking) The onl reason why I didn't gave it a 1 star is that Rutger Hauer is actually trying his best to do with the little he was given and he was the only thing I enjoyed in this movie and he was barely in it. Also that in the end it turns out that he was actually kinda the good guy and Harrison Ford's character the bad guy. But reading all the nonsense about the philosophical questions it raised about "being human" seems pretty far-fetched. The only question it raised in my mind is: "Why do people like this movie?" But for those who thinks that way, at least you can enjoy telling yourself how primitive I am for not "getting it". ;)
An hour into the film characters were still being introduced and I was still waiting for something to happen. I found it insanely slow moving and utterly boring. If the logline doesn't sound confusing enough, the film will indeed proof it is! The film was a box office failure and its easy too see why.
Bladerunner is my favorite movie because its so immersive and the noir ambiance takes you into another world no matter how surreal. I never thought Decker was a replicant never even thought of it until all the hype from the new film which does a great job too :)
Funny but I remember this movie much more fondly from my teenage years. But I guess the memory data has been corrupted throughout the years.While the setting and atmosphere was nothing short of spectacular in Ridley's "Blade Runner" from 1982, then the movie was just incredibly slow in progressing anywhere. And once it actually kicked into high speed, it ended within 10 minutes!The acting was quite good and they did indeed have a very good ensemble of acting performers on the cast list. Harrison Ford, of course, carried the movie phenomenally. And he was joined nicely on the screen by the likes of Rutger Hauer, Daryl Hannah, M. Emmet Walsh and Edward James Olmos.The special effects in "Blade Runner" were good, especially when taking into consideration the age of the movie. And most of the effects actually still are passable by today's standards."Blade Runner" is an interesting enough movie if you enjoy movies set in a dystopian future.
