Blade
Runner—the 2007 final cut edition—has camera angles; depth of
lighting; many, many forms of lighting; and fantastic, futuristic city light
views that make it stand out far above the crowd of other movies in its cinematography.
Technique literally overpowers the screen as if the screen can never be large enough
to hold its richness. The story, even now (2019), is far ahead of its time and
takes heavy mental processing and close attention to detail to keep up with its
complicated plot. Even the names of the robots, Replicants, seems far
advanced for its original time of production. This is a terrific watch, a
classic for all sci fi movie fans. It is beyond ‘Great’ work for Director
Ridley Scott and demands an immediate second viewing to catch the depth, meaning,
and overall impact of its story.
