Blade Runner Is The Best Sci-Fi Film

Delchanat writes "Now there's scientific proof: according to 60 of the most influential scientists in the world, including British biologist Richard Dawkins and Canadian psychologist Steven Pinker, Ridley Scott's Blade Runner (1982) is the best science fiction film. Late Mr. Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) finished 2nd, followed by George Lucas' Star Wars (1977) and The Empire Strikes Back (1980)." There are several other stories as well: favorite authors, the basics of science fiction, and an excerpt of a new Iain M. Banks novel.

Blade Runner???? Come ON now.

Ok, I'll give it points for concept and visulization, but my God, the acting and excecution of this movie stank to high heaven. I know we're all Gibson freaks and the like here, but am I the only one that thinks this movie is possible one of Harrison Ford's absolute WORST perfomances?? I mean cool AI concept aside, this movie bored me to freakin' tears as it shambled from one scene to the next.

I mean, if we're calling out the best based on concept and SFX (for the day), maybe (and I stress "maybe") this movie qualifies, but there are so many other areas this movie falls down in that it shouldn't even be considered in the top five. Obviously we're considering 'cool sciencey feel' here more than overall content.

IMfuckingO, of course.
