The Greatest Film Of All Time!!

Rating: 10/10 (18 August 1999)

I believe that Blade Runner is easily the best film ever made. It was originally a novel called "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" written by Phillp K. Dick in 1968. Blade Runner was released theatrically in 1982, it only made around $31 Million, and costed more then $39 to make. After all those years, Blade Runner the directors cut was released in 1992. Blade Runner eventually became a sci-fi classic after all that time, and is still not reconized by many people. Upon multiple viewings Blade Runner has proven to be the biggest sci-fi acheivement in Sci-Fi history of this century. Ridley Scott is was the genius behind this film, for once I actually liked a movie better then it's novel. The novel "DaDoES" was also great, but it was very different from the movie, it takes place in a different time, 2021 AD to be exact. Every moment in this film is just great, the speech was brilliant. The acting was superb, especailly Ruther Hauer, who did an outstanding job. Lots of other sci-fi films come close, such as 2001, Alien, Ghost In The Shell, Akira, Metropolis, Star Wars, The Matrix, but Blade Runner has proven to the best. Here's why I think Blade Runner is the best film ever made.
First off, the set designs we're great! Syd Mead is genius to come up with such amazing ideas. Ridley Scott's world just looks brillant! I guess Ridley Scott wanted to show how the world will look in 2019. He made it look great, it looks great to us, but to the people there, it wouldn't be so great after all. The movie is generally dark and has a spooky atmosphere to it. The backgrounds we're very nicely done, not only the background, hell the people even looked great in the backgrounds! We get to see a few scenes where we can see very strange types of people walking around the rainy metropolis, a good example is the one where Deckard is chasing Zhora and jumpiong from building to building, car to car. This can't be seen in too many other movies, actually this was the first time it was ever shown. I was so amazed by the set designs and cinematography, I couldn't believe it was made in 1982. First time I saw this movie I was only 11 (im 15 at the moment), and I wasn't watching it carefully, I was more paying attention to the backgrounds. I was so amazed and dazzled at how great they looked, especially at scene in the Tyrell Building. The spinner scenes also looked amazing, the spinners looked *really* real, except you could tell that they we're computer generated at part where Gaff and Deckard are going to the Tyrell Corporation. Another great example was the scene when Leon and Batty are about the enter Chew's Eye Works, notice the background, and the how those oriental people come riding on there bikes, I found that pretty cool. The scene where Gaff and Deckard are going to the Police Headquarters was one of the best! The effects looked so real, and to top it off, it had great music. Animod Row looked great, lots of strange people in the backgrounds as well. The Tyrell Building was looked so cool, I could almost swear it was real. I've never seen such great Cinematography and Set Designs, and I don't suppose I ever will, until there is a Blade Runner 2.
The music used in Blade Runner was easily the best I've heard in a movie. I don't know where to begin telling you how great it was. Every scene in Blade Runner just had amazing music, and it wasn't the same one used over and over (aka. Star Wars, Ghost In The Shell). The intro track is really good, it gives Los Angeles 2019 a great feel, it's also used in the scene where Deckard and Gaff are going to the Tyrell Corporation. Then the music in the scene where Deckard and Gaff fly to the Police Headquarters is amazing! It's less then two mins. but still it was *really* good. Another good track was Blade Runner Blues, which was used in the scene where Pris first comes in the movie, that's probably the best music though out the movie. Memories of Green was really really good!! It was used at the scene where Deckard picks up Rachael's picture that she throws on the floor after finding out that she is a replicant herself. I enjoyed the track Love Theme which was played in Deckard's apartment after Leon attacks Deckard in the ally. End Titles was just amazing, it was the track played at the end of the movie, during the credits. I also enjoyed On Trail of A Nexus 6, which plays in the background when Deckard is chasing Leon. A track that didn't make it to the cd, was the one which plays when Deckard is about to perform a Voight-Kampff test on Rachael, that's too bad since that music sounded great.
The character in Blade Runner were really well put together, I don't care what anyone says. Harrison Ford played Rick Deckard, the main character of the movie. His character was great! His acting was superb, his face expressions we're really good. Deckard was shown to be a not-so-great man overall. His wife and child had even left him, but those we're just his memories if he was a replicant, which I believe he was. Ruther Hauer was easily the best actor of the film. Not did he only do a good job of acting, he looked pretty damned cool, especially at the scene at Chew's Eye Works. He played Roy Batty, one of the escaped Replicants lurking the streets of LA 2019. He did an academy winning performance, from the start of the movie, all the way to the end. His end line was just amazing, I don't know anyone else who could have played a better Roy Batty. Sean Young who played Rachael, did a damn good job. Her acting was great, and she always didn't seem human at times, I don't know how they did that. The rest of the cast did a great job, Edward James Olmos who played Gaff did an outstanding job, he didn't have much lines, but still he was just great in that role. Joe Turkel who played Eldon Tyrell did a real good job, who was shown like he was pratically playing god. Brion James who played Leon, didn't really have a big part of the film, but he did great. He did a good job at the start of the movie where Holden is questioning him, he acting like he was confused, and it was brillant. William Sanderson played J.F Sebastian, who did an alright job of acting though out the movie, could have been better, but some parts of his were great, especially the scene where he says that his glands grow old too fast. Robert Okazak who passed away a few years ago played the sushi master at the resturant at the start of the movie, for some reason I found him to be one of the greatest actors in the movie, espeically when he said that wonderful line "He Say Your Brade Runna", that was just amazing acting. The rest of the cast who had minor roles did a good/excellent job of acting, which isn't seen too often in Sci-Fi movies (aka. The 13th Floor, Total Recall, Star Wars).
I found Blade Runner to be the most amazing movie ever made. Almost everything about it was perfect, except for the few flaws. Even today's effects can't match Blade Runner's, no not even Star Wars, sure they look more "cool", but do they look real? Hellno. Similar backgrounds from Blade Runner are used in many Sci-Fi movies and shows around these days (aka. Akira, Total Recall 2070), but they will never match Blade Runner. Ridley Scott and Syd Mead did something which no one else can ever replica. Blade Runner was nominated for best special effects, but didn't win, but it went on to win 3 UK Academy Awards. Blade Runner was also mentioned at the 1999 Academy's when they were showing the best films, it showed a spinner fly by LA 2019. I can't wait to see the sequel if there is one, which there should be around 2002, if they are making one. Blade Runner has the deepest impact ever, and it's easily the best motion picture ever made, an excellent work of art.
