This classic has, and will continue to stand the test of time

Rating: 9/10 (2 April 2019)

Blade Runner directed by Ridley Scott, is a film which has grown to be rightfully appreciated with age. When this film was first released in 1982 it performed terribly in the box office, as audiences genuinely disliked this bleak and depressing futuristic world. Although when Ridley Scott came out with a director's cut years later, this masterpiece was seen in an entirely new light. It's defiantly not a film for everybody, simply due to the fact that it doesn't contain much that will please the audience. The film noir, confronting plot and dystopian setting creates uneasy emotions while viewing. Although this is the underlying purpose of the film. I love how this movie challenges humanity. It really makes you question society and where it's headed. This uncomfortable movie experience is crucial in providing caution and warning for our future. I truly believe that Blade Runner is more than a film. Substantial research can take place after your viewing. There are so many metaphors, symbols and deep messages which are thoughtfully arranged by the film makers. Blade Runner is insanely complex. Not to mention, the visuals, and incredible score have influenced generations of science fiction. This film was a milestone in cinema, particularly in the sci-fi genre. This classic has, and will continue to stand the test of time, so therefore I give Blade Runner a 9.
