Blade Runner - Introduction [HD]

Los Angeles in 2019 is a dark, overcrowded abyss, dominated by cloud-piercing buildings and enormous neon billboards. World-weary Deckard has been re-called to liquidate four escaped replicants, genetically derived androids of near-human emotion who serve as slaves and prostitutes in the off-planet colonies. Led by Roy Batty, they've come to Los Angeles to confront their designer, Eldon Tyrell, about the brevity of their four-year life span.

@aeopmusic I remember when Bladerunner came out in 82, it was a box office bomb and got panned by the critics because it wasn't 'faithful' enough to the Philip K Dick novel that inspired it. At the same time, everyone was going ape over E.T. the Extraterrestrial, released the same year...classic, timeless, a work of genius etc. etc. Nearly thirty years on E.T. has been forgotten while Bladerunner has influenced everything from graphic novels to movies, sf novels, fashion and music videos

@octopusmagnificens

It's not like they don't use miniatures anymore.

@TomthatiscalledTom

E.T. is still a good film.........it's not like it's been forgotten.

@awartskibenor i agree that the visuals on Fifth Element were fantastic, but not original. Always viewed them as a recreating of Blade Runner, Judge Dread comics, or modern day Hong Kong/New York on steroids

[awartskibenor]

@quidda1 What about The Fifth Element? I always thought the city scenes were pretty cool.

@octopusmagnificens I'd prefer a good "model/matte painting/lighting/camera" effect over CGI any time.

Shadowrun :D

[octopusmagnificens]

The special effects have changed much in 30 years. Filmed today, this scene would be significantly worse.

[quidda1]

the greatest minute of sci-fi imagery ever created has to be this, the werewolf transformation in American Werewolf in London, and 1 of the 5 great 4 second parts of Alien (bow to Ridley Scott) Nostromo landing, egg popping, chest popping, the cat, the unwrapping reveal in the lifeboat, and the Nostromo NOT quietly blowing up (in space...noone can hear you scream)

every other moment of sci-fi pictures just has to wish they were that cool

@Lynch098 Oops, spelled "we'd" wrong.
