'''Blade Runner''' is a [[Genre Busting|genre-bending]] 1982 [[Science Fiction]] film that borrows stylistic elements from [[Film Noir]] and [[Hardboiled Detective]] fiction. Set in a [[Dystopia|dystopian]] [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future|near-future]] [[City Noir]] version of Los Angeles, it established much of the tone and flavor of the [[Cyberpunk]] movement and the film style of [[The Future Is Noir|Tech Noir]]. It is a highly intelligent film, [[Visual Effects of Awesome|visually stunning]] and features a seriously great script. The definitive high-def/Blu-ray [[Directors Cut]] came out in 2007. |
