I actually didn't really get into Blade Runner when I watched it. I do want to like it though. In fact I've only seen it once and that was studying it in a media class. It kept on being paused whilst we studied the lighting etc lol. Not the best atmosphere for enjoying a movie. So I'll give it another try some time methinks. |

no worries, it's one of those movies that sci-fi fans either love or hate. i really love it because for me it brought to life visually anyway the stuff i was reading a few years previously in my all time FAVE comic "2000 AD", the imagery was very similar in feel to that comic book.
harrison ford apparently hated the voiceover but i love it, gives the flick an old-fashioned film noir feel, like the Sam Spade movies from the 40s -"she walked into my office and i knew she was going to the best kind of trouble a guy could ask for..." etc.
*sniffle*
i guess you had to be there :-D

Interesting you should say that, 'cos we were looking at Blade Runner as part of our study of film noir in media studies. It's a "neo noir" in fact, as well as the likes of Se7en and Sin City. :) |

Yeah I liked the voice over but they've removed it all of the so called director cuts. I think what I liked about it was the dark feeling to the whole film earth is no longer a nice place.
I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan of Sci-Fi but I love when it's done well, The totally over the top Fifth Element or the blatant High Noon rip off - Outland also if you ever get the chance to see a film called Dark Star there is a brilliant ending where a guy burns up on re-entry by surfing into the earth's atmosphere on a piece of wreckage, total class |
