10 Influential Sci-Fi Films That Inspire Tim Smit6 of 12
Blade Runner (1982)
"Rarely, if ever, has a movie surpassed Blade Runner in its visual design, world-building, and deep symbolic metaphors. Amazing cinematography that turns every frame into a painting I would hang on my wall at home. The power of this bleak and dystopian neo-future is enhanced by the absolutely brilliant conceptual designs by Syd Mead. As a child, I saw this film as a dark detective story with intriguing characters and fantastic sets. Only later, after I started delving into the art of cinema, was I exposed to the true power of this sci-fi classic and became aware of what a masterpiece Blade Runner is and always will be."
