And pay attention to the cinematography — for a move made in 1982 the ability to portray a future world are beyond amazing.

Speaking of portraying a future world it's funny to re-watch Blade Runner and see all the product placements for companies that have since disappeared. Panam, Atari and all the others apparently fought hard to be in that film because they wanted audiences to associate those companies with the future. Now all gone. Apparently a lot of companies were reluctant to have their names associated with the current film for just that reason.

Funny thing is, both of the companies you named re-appear in Blade Runner 2049.
