Blade Runner - Intro

[charmander4533]

The people who orchestrated Mass effect must have LOVED this movie as kids

[kentmorita]

TIL.



[psilosibey]

looks so much better than cgi

[XrGrimreap3rX]

Hong Kong actually looks kind of similar to this already.

[PsychotronicWar]

CGI may suck this Intro.

[fookfocketyfookfook]

This blows my mind. Every time I see it the hairs on my arms go up. The rest of the movie is awesome but if I could see an entire movie as powerful as this 1 minute and 20 seconds I think I would probably watch it on repeat until I died of thirst.

[Lithinar81]

@fookfocketyfookfook FUCKING LOL!!! DITTO!

[PromiserOfDeath]

I hope thats what the world looks like in 2019.

[wkunzelman1]

@PromiserOfDeath I don't. That'd be horrible.

[Maatmalat]

This is how began the best 1h57 I've ever spent in my life...

[alluvialedaempfer]

it pains me to see this intro, knowing writers and directors are so empty of ideas nowadays. the time between 1976 to around 1982 was very special in film making. i can count down endless films of that time with the same catching atmosphere and deph like balde runner has. they understood so much better that music and effects where just a tool to tell a story, not the main attraction.

[ar2014]

damn i love this movie

[TheDEATHSTARIII]

Los Angeles looks beautiful but polluted , the smoke stacks are not to different to those u see now at petrochemical plants

[logica10]

Alongside with "2001, A Space Odyssey", this is one of the best scifi movies intro ever filmed. In the design of this epic imagery, Syd Mead's work (visual futurist) set a milestone. A true masterpiece.

[juresaiyan]

CGI doesn't make a movie good...

[liontes]

this in a cinema would be great...

[OrionSyndicate]

It looks so real to me...When I watched this movie for the first time, and the dozens of times since, I still lose myself in the movie. It all looks so real. When you watch other movies, it's like "that was a cool effect", but with this movie, you forget you are watching a movie.

[haminh97]

OMG, it's 2019 and people still use fan!!??!?!?

[OrionSyndicate]

@haminh97 It's only a few days until 2011 and I have a ceiling fan in my room...It's running right now! I must be such a Neandertal?

[anonymous133711]

@OrionSyndicate consider the "advancement of technology" ceiling fan is considered as neandertal at that "particular age" lol

[OrionSyndicate]

@anonymous133711 OMG It's 2019 and they still have the NEXUS 6...I have a NEXUS 7! She is dusting the blades on my ceiling fan.

[anonymous133711]

@OrionSyndicate yes yes cool story bro nao gtfo

[smanticus]

@haminh97 Uh... it's 2011 and people use fans.

[RetroVGamer]

No CGI in the world can out do 1982's Blade Runner!

[303acidstorm]

This is the place to be of my dreams.. The dark future coming soon..

Digital Art for sure..

[collonera]

Los Angeles 2019? Mas bien Los Angeles 5019

[Arimor1]

Anyone know what the intro music is actually called please?

[disengagejam]

@Arimor1 -- not sure of the name but its on the soundtrack , all the music for BR is by Vangelis

[kw1ksh0t]

This is what sci-fi is supposed to sound like

[wimpie25]

@kw1ksh0t

This is what they 80's sounded like

[45009234]

Greatest fucking science fiction movie ever made.

If it weren't for the internet I would have never known about this beautiful work of art.

[Th0masBivens]

@45009234 - all things considered, blade runner is probably the best movie ever made, sci fi or otherwise

[MrSuedehead72]

remember me when i saw this magistral movie i was 12 years old in 1982, and wouahhhh!!!! un classique intemporel!! from france clément the dreamer....

[LimeGreenFever]

19 years from now! FUCK YES

[SrAndresAmor]

@LimeGreenFever 9???

[LimeGreenFever]

@SrAndresAmor typo XD

[gnikcuf888]

One of the best movies made .

[LetotheBlue]

One of the best movie intro ever, no discuss

[mixindave1]

Yea its like an ott teesside.

[markkuwerkko]

Obama Adminstration- Enviroment as black as our president!

[RaynorX]

only 9 years to go guys

[careface2k6]

Such an amazing film.

[MysterySparkStudios]

this film inspires me constantly

[DrVonNostrand]

HE SAY YOU BRADE RUNNA

[phxsns1]

Tell him I'm eating!

[Dinyctis]

HE SAY YOU BURADE RUNNA!!

[RideMyBMW]

@Dinyctis "Tell him I'm eating" Is it true Harrison Ford tried to strangle Ridley Scott on the set?

[inuyashauca]

The sound of the CS80, it is incredible

[loxi59tica]

It certainly looks like parts of Teesside at night in a kind of distorted way. Redcar steelworks,seal sands road,View from North Gare. I can see where Ridley Scott took his inspiration from.

[RogueSeraphim]

Even though it's a outwardly a polluted dystopia, I can't help but think there's a magnificence to it as well, a kind of 'We built all this' guilty pride.

[SgtMustang]

It's basically a modern hell =/

[pisces196949]

That's what the cyberpunk genre is all about, a post-apocalyptic world.

[SgtMustang]

This is not a post-apocalyptic world, but Earth covered in pollution.

[shinra18]

Is it not Elysium? a timeless monument to mankinds limitless Industrial, Technological and Scientific potential?

For me, that  truely is heaven.

[jcfbell3001]

that's an interesting view, I like it...I loved the BR world as a kid, was never a big fan of sunlight LOL...it made the atmospheric building and room interiors that much more intense, like the tyrell meeting room with the darkening windows etc

[Fiskij]

Very powerful and hair-raising intro.

[mmmrenkas]

VERY NICE HAIR RAISING COMMENT!

[persini]

best movie ever xD

[semplew]

Absolutely amazing film!!! One of the best Sci-Fi movies of all time!!

[sirmercutio99]

Probaly one of the greateast intros of all time. Dark dystopic capitalist city. Imagery that echo's Fritz Lang's Metropolis. I could image this as our future in 50-100 years from now.

[AliC202]

Agreed. That is exactly the sense I got when I watched this scene.

[markkuwerkko]

Not necessarily capitalism, Tyrell Building could be an mausoleum for totalitarian commie boss, and those pipes could exist due industrialism conducted by stalinist regime.

[sirmercutio99]

I would say Terry Gilliam's Brazil is more of a fascist/communist buearucratic totalitarian state. This has more resonence with Lang's Metropolis as well as Scott's Weyland-Yutani Corporation in the Alien franchise.

[markkuwerkko]

Still this COULD be considered as monument for state-communism. If you forget Coca-Cola commercials.

[Sundownerr]

same here the intro always kinda freaked me out

[phxsns1]

The opening fade-in always gave me chills. A truly great movie.

[theTentative]

aah.. vangelis. this intro is amazing

[xhyio]

This beats The Matrix. There I said it. Ridley Scott needs to get back to stuff like this though American Gangster was a great flick.

[pk000]

@xhyio

too bad robin hood wasn't!

good thing scott is getting back to sci-fi, though.

[monkyboy777]

Ok folks, this is what sci-fi is supposed to look like. This is pure, street level sci-fi. The absolute best.

[fadgadgets]

Godly epicness...

[reniisgod]

Absolute brilliance

[bitrex]

I think it still looks better than CGI, 25 years on.

[havehope]

@bitrex yep

[Target842]

This was done at seal sands between middlesbrough, stockton & hartlepool.. i got the DVD of this film couple month back didn't know at first till the old man told me.

[bouncydave]

This scene wasn't done there. It was BASED on that place but this is layers of 2D brass etching with about 28,000 LED lights and the flames digitaly put on. If u watch the making of on the Final Cut DVD you'll see how they did it.

[howboutpete]

I'm gona pass I don't want to know

[AliC202]

Do you know if there is a digital video of this?

[EKRANOPLANER]

I remember when this movie came out years ago, there was nothing quite like it. This is an unforgettable scape.
