A vicious satire of the world

Rating: Null/10 (16 September 2000)

Corporations housed in buildings shaped like Aztec temples. Artificial owls representing false wisdom. Cityscapes burning with all-pervasive media and evil-looking pollution. This is the world of Blade Runner.
And, horrifyingly, it just might be ours too...
The future world presented in Blade Runner is both unimaginably horrible, and hauntingly familiar. See "The Terminator" (1982) to see what Los Angeles *really* looked like in the early 80s.
Then flick over to Blade Runner.
Is it my imagination, or is Blade Runner actually *more* like 1990s cities than 1980s cities?
Ridley Scott, you genius.
