The Dawn of the Modern Sci-fi Age

Rating: 8/10 (15 March 2006)

This is the film that did it. Los Angeles as depicted is entirely believable. The scene depiction was just right and not over the top and has an element of longevity about it.
Just imagine from this fore-runner was spawned the likes of, twelve monkeys, minority report( background depiction of urban life only, as the film was quite tame) and the Matrix.
Modern Sci-fi genre has a lot to thank Blade runner for in allowing the genre to break out of rose tinted cheesy, Star Trekky movies. Another great film worth watching shot on a much lower budget and slightly slower but equally as captivating is....Gattaca.
