Watch it again and again

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 1999)

This is the perfect classic. A film with layers of depth that keep peeling themselves each time you watch it. On the first viewing all you can see is the amazing special effects and perfectly envisioned future Los Angeles. On the second viewing you follow the detective story more closely. On the third viewing you might get a better understanding of Deckard and Rachel's relationship. On further viewings the motives and psychology of all the characters come into clearer and clearer focus and you notice more and more the depth of the proceedings. Hauer's Roy Batty may be the finest written and acted villain to ever appear in a science fiction film - in fact, he may well be the hero. A spectacular film.
