  3. 5:46 Portrayal of these crime-ridden urban districts would be more realistic if they looked at actual present-day examples like the slums of Mumbai or the favelas of Rio De Janeiro. You will see that, far from living completely hopeless lives, there is a lot of, shall we say, “informal” economic activity going on. Yes, there is crime and there are gangs. And a lot of the violence in Rio, for example, comes from police storming in and engaging in shooting matches with the gangs. In short, a lot of these situations could not exist if the police truly were competent, honest and above-board.

  4. 4:13 CG animation could do a smoother collapse than that. Just sayin’. This is why I find a lot of this Japanese animation barely a step above Hanna-Barbera in quality.

  5. Yup, can’t argue with putting Blade Runner at the top. Syd Mead’s concept designs were just amazing. And you get points for rating Metropolis at all. For those who haven’t heard of it, go see it! It may be a silent film from 1924, but it’s still a classic.
