Blade Runner (1982) Review


Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! So, because the new "Blade Runner" came out, I revisited the original one but not the Director's Cut or the Final Cut. Those are longer. I saw again the theatrical version and I can say that it is a visual masterpiece, with its thought provoking themes about the human condition and what it's like to be human. It's all about humanity and what makes us human. Some say this movie is a SF but it's not. It's more than that. You can say that it is a neo-noir thriller with SF elements and a SF background. It's mysterious, engaging, visually stunning with a mesmerizing soundtrack and some great performances from both Harrison Ford and Sean Young. The movie does have it's drawbacks with it's extremely slow pace, lack of action scenes apart from 2 or 3 and a confusing story with a more convoluted plot. It takes a high level of patience to watch this movie and it is under 2 hours so I can only imagine what is like to sit thru the director and final cut. Some of you might find it boring and I can understand that but if you see this movie multiple times, it will make sense, eventually. Some say that the final cut is the one to watch but you can watch the original cut with no regret. Ridley Scott created an excellent movie, with some flaws of course but all  other filmmakers were inspired by this movie. Some examples: "The Matrix", "The Fifth Element", "Ghost in the Shell", the anime and the 2017 remake. And you can see it also in the "Star Wars" prequels. Overall, it's not a perfect movie but it is a movie that makes you think about who we are as a species. And what might we become. Undoubtedly a SF masterpiece! 8.7/10

OK guys, that is my review for today. Next up is "Blade Runner 2049". Until then, take care and keep on reviewing!

Wind River (2017) Movie Review

Wind River (2017) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! For today, I have prepared three new reviews for three movies, one was good and the other two not so much. So let's start with the good one and I mean this one, of course. If you have seen "Sicario" and "Hell or High Water" and you enjoy watching those movies you will certainly enjoy this one as well. And it is based on real events so it has that reality based element, which is going to make you appreciate this movie even more. It's smartly written, beautifully executed, with the environment playing a big part in inducing the viewer into the chilling atmosphere of the story. It's dramatic, filled with emotions, suspense and thrills and it will keep you invested from beginning to end. It has a fast pace and, although it has it slower moments, it does not get boring. On the contrary, it becomes more interesting. Love the cast, great cast and, of course, great performances ...

Escape Room (2019) Movie Review

Escape Room (2019) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Reviews #100%, the place where you can be nerdy about movies! So, just to be clear, this is not the ''A Star Is Born'' review as I promised and it is unlikely that I will still make that review. Instead of that, I have a review about a movie with an escape room, which, I guess, is more entertaining than a dramatic musical. Don't get me wrong, ''A Star Is Born'' is a very good movie, very emotional, dramatic and gripping, with some very good performances and beautiful songs. But we are here to talk about ''Escape Room''. Ever thought what would come out if you mix the style of the ''Saw'' franchise with the plot of an escape room? Well, we have the end result with this movie. The plot is as simple as it gets: six strangers find themselves in circumstances beyond their control, and must use their wits to survive. Which is what you have ...

Mission Impossible 3 (2006) Movie Review

Mission Impossible 3 (2006) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! Well, this is what I am talking about, if you want to make a great action movie but still keep the style and panache of the original. J.J. Abrams did it. He combined, successfully I might add, the stunts and special effects with the style that made the first MI so good. It does suffer in some departments, especially the script and character development but that is just nitpicking at this point. The visual effects are awesome, the action is great and fast paced giving you the right amount of time to breathe before it chuckles you again into the action. The acting is top notch with a very good villainy performance from P.S. Hoffman. There are some twists but, sadly, are predictable and a bit similar to the one from the first movie.  However, looking past the little flaws, there is no denying that this movie was a step up, a huge step up from the previous one, setting the bar for wha...
