One of my Favorites!

Rating: 10/10 (27 February 1999)

I first saw "Blade Runner" many years ago, shortly after it was released. I must admit, I was absolutely mesmerized by this movie. Not only am I a Sci-Fi fan, but the added music by Vangelis enhanced the movie ten fold. The musical score puts the viewer in an almost 'euphoric' state of mind. Rutdger Hauer's performance is absolutely astounding in this movie! I've got both the Director's Cut and the original version on laser disc and as another person commented, I also prefer the original version. The narration that's missing from the Director's Cut is not necessarily crucial to the story line, but it does help out a first time viewer of the film. Sean Young also caught my attention as she, in my opinion, is positively gorgeous in most every scene. I melt when she first comes on to the screen in her first scene as she is walking across the floor at the Tyrell Corp. and asks Decker, "Do you like our owl?" Lastly, my favorite scene is when Rachel let's her hair down, starts to play the piano and when Decker sits next to her and tells her that she plays beautifully, she gets up and starts to leave his apartment (for the 2nd time). Decker slams the door shut and doesn't let her leave. If you're a true Blade Runnner 'fan', you know what I'm talking about.
