The future that you see in Blade Runner is a different future than that shiny, plastic toy presented in I, Robot and Star Wars. It is more probable that what you see in Blade Runner (or maybe fifth element) is closer to how things will become.
It's the same sort of future protrayed in William Gibson's Neuromancer or Neal Stephenson's Snowcrash. Dark, forbidding, governments existing only as fractured parts, multi-national business entities controlling the majority of the true power and all of the resources.
