Natural City

Rebuilt after a devastating war, the world of 2080 has given rise to advanced technologies including the creation of cyborgs. When the cyborgs revolt, Noma (Yoon Chan) and R (Yoo Ji-tae, Oldboy, Antarctic Journal, Lady Vengeance) lead an elite military squad ordered to eliminate the rebellion. Unbeknownst to anyone, R is harvesting AI chips from dead cyborgs in order to save his dying lover, Ria (Seo Rin), a cyborg just days away from shutting down. Intent on stopping R, however, is his compatriot, Agent A, who knows something more may be amiss.

"No"?

No. Do you know what Blade Runner is? This film is an obvious ripoff/homage. Do some research.

[alekesam]

Actually, Blade Runner is inspired by Phillip K Dick's short story Do androids dream of electric sheep while the visuals are inspired/lifted from BDs (French comic books), particularly two of Moebius' short stories. The Fifth Element was inspired by Blade Runner and got the two guys who inspired Scott on BR (Moebius and Messieres) to design the movie by Luc Besson. That said, this is clearly influenced by all of the above but does it's own thing just like Fifth Element. All three are good.

@jimdaddy65 You know didn't think of it like that.  That would be interesting knowing that she has to eventually die. How far would Deckard go.

@Feuyaer dude I love rip-off films. Especially the bad ones. The Turkish Star Wars or The Turkish Star Trek, Star Runners (and we all know that movie was Blake's 7, Firefly (which was influenced from Blake's 7 even has lines lifted for the series), Starship Troopers etc., but it was still hella fun.  But saying that a movie or book will still be original even with influences, because it's written, made by someone else.

@dcj28 No you must not have been reading what I said or what I was replying to, because I said that Blade Runner was influenced by Metropolis as many movies and books are influenced by each other. What I was saying is that there is nothing wrong with this. I for one don't care if a movie is a rip-off film or not (and I mean literally a rip-off film) or if it was influenced by it. You can be influenced by another work and it will still be original, because it's coming from your voice/or POV.

[dcj28]

i meant to say partly INFLUENCED by METROPOLIS.

[dcj28]

@TVwriter23 So what you've basically just said is that because Blade Runner was partly INFLUENCED by Blade Runner, it is therefore a rip off? Bullshit. Blade Runners style, its depiction of a dystopian future was inspired partly by Metropolis (as were most dystopian sci fi films after Metropolis) yet Blade Runner still managed to present a fresh and new depiction of a decaying world. Everything else is original or partly derived from the original novel.

@zeushighscore i felt the same way, it just had nothing that held my interest with the characters, although the visuals are good

@TVwriter23 Blade Runner was inspired by Metropolis.....Natural City was a rip off. Rip off isn't such a bad term. I liked this movie. But it could have taken a few liberties instead of basically saying "Hay, I'm a BR fan, look what I can do!"

[TVwriter23]

@Feuyaer so is Blade Runner when you take into account it's influences such as Metropolis.
