My favorite movie of all time

Rating: 10/10 (15 June 2001)

What I love about Blade Runner is that it takes its time telling the story. It doesn't rush around at a frenetic pace, with bad guys flying everywhere. It moves on its own time, and lets us take in the brutal experience of what it must be like to live in L.A. 2019. The opening shots are astounding, and every other shot showing the massive corporate towers belching flames and smog into the dark sky are equally impressive. Blade Runner is, quite simply, a triumph. The story takes a backseat to the visuals, but that is certainly not a fatal flaw. Blade Runner is a great example of original filmmaking, and anyone who appreciates something with style should see it.
