Review of Blade Runner (1982) by Philipblake — 30 May 2019
I'm talking about Blade Runner: Director's Cut (1991). Blade Runner is an one-of-a-kind sci-fi film noir masterpiece. The ambiance of Vangelis' score and production design are just out of this world. Phenomenal work in every way.
Directing by Ridley Scott is at his finest to date, the rainy atmosphere just feet perfectly to this story driven by agent Deckard wonderfully portrayed with a top notch Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer is coldest as possible as we even imagine this is really a replicant for some moments.
All the visual effects are spectacular and still very effective as the today standard. The story is loosely based on the Philip K Dick novel but have is own approach that perfectly feet to Ridley Scott own vision of the story.
Every sequences are unforgettable and the final is just perfect! Near to reach the prefect 10 rating. The Final Cut of the film have some sequences and color treatments altered so this deacrese the rate from 9 to 8 in my opinion.
And then the theatrical version, the international version and the now official workprint version are all far from what the final versions are. Complete opposite of Star Wars original saga by the way.
This is also probably the first serious cyberpunk movie ever made. An instant classic that absolutely deserve to be seen.
