Conclusion
Science fiction movies
must follow at least three criteria in order to be a part of that particular
genre. These three criteria include: aconflict
between good and evil, a certain degree of believability, and well developedvisual effects. The movie Blade Runner does
manage to incorporate these three criteria. There is a conflict between the good
of Deckard and in some cases the replicants and the evil of Tyrell and his
corporation. There is also conflict between Deckard and the Replicants. The
characters in the movie, even the ones that were not human, had many humanistic
and believable qualities. Many of them were able to feel love as well as hate.
The story was also believable and could possibly happen (granted with a lot of
imagination). Visually, the movie was also believable. It did this by
incorporating old and new concepts, from the clothes they wore to the vehicles
they drove. The believability of the visual aspect of the movie helps to create
the well developed and interesting special effects.Blade Runner, in
conclusion, is a good science fiction movie, perhaps not the best ever made, but
it does follow the criteria. It also incorporates a fourth and lesser known
criteria as does the ever-popular Star Wars trilogy: Harrison Ford as one
of its stars.
