Blade runner overrated? Well that's a pickin'!

Blade runner is a fuckin' classic. Absolutely ridley scott's crown achievement. And that's saying a lot with his catalogue. The duellists especially, and Alien are among the best films ever.

It's probably the best vision of the future, or the most fascinating if you will. Taking cue from star wars where nothing is perfect and shiny (fuck you prequel future). We get a rutger hauer in a carreer peak, a perfectly understated role by ford, brilliants visuals/story/soundtrack etc.

A bunch of sci fi has been made before and after and not one comes close to Blade runner ( with the possible exception of SW and ESB).

Other sci-fi i enjoy: Outland, Omega man, Soylent green, T-1/2, Stalker, The thing, silent runner, gattaca, robocop, total recall, tron, salute of the jugger, A.I, Westworld, but like i said nothing comes close to Blade runner's genius.
