Do you guys suggest getting the 5 disc or single disc version for one who never seen the show?
I heard a lot of good for Bladerunner and 5th Element. But when I saw 5th element I thought the story sucks though PQ and special effects were impressive. Is the Bladerunner storyline good?
Comparing Blade Runner with The Fifth Element is like comparing chalk with cheese. Both are of a different class, albeit of the sci-fi genre. The Fifth Element is a popcorn, no-brainer, sci-fi action flick. Those movies are a dime a dozen.
Blade Runner is a movie which moves at a very slow pace, picking up only the end. The first time I watched it, I felt that it sorely lacked pace. Not everyone will enjoy it, hence the reason why it's called a 'cult classic'. Call it film noir sci-fi even, if you wish.
Perhaps if you enjoyed the likes of Donnie Darko or Dark City, this might be your cup of tea.
But the ending got me thinking. And for a movie to get a fool like me to start thinking, it has to be a good movie, no?
