15 Most Visually Stunning Sci-Fi Movies
13. Blade Runner
Alien director Ridley Scott is no slouch when it comes to stunning sci-fi, having hired designer extraordinaire HR Giger to create that flick’s unforgettable look. Hell, even 2012’s otherwise woeful Prometheus offered up some phenomenal visuals.
But the helmer has never outdone Blade Runner, his seminal 1982 cyberpunk thriller.
An adaptation of Philip K Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electronic Sheep. Scott's film never allows the story’s downbeat philosophizing to get in the way of its seductive, enthralling visuals, with a vibrant colour palette and some stunning cityscapes updating the monochromatic world of traditional film noir into a futuristic (but still constantly rainy) era of polished chrome, neon, and glass towers.
