"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe..."

Rating: 10/10 (5 March 2001)

Purely and simply, Blade Runner is one of the true cinematic masterpieces, serving as not only one of the greatest science fiction films of all time, but also as the definitive "film noir" of the future. It's stunning visuals and incredible locations are pure eye candy, and the richly-textured story is so deep and complex, that something new is found in the movie after each repeated viewing. I've seen the movie at least thirty times, and I still haven't completed figured out all of its mysteries. And that's the beauty of Blade Runner, there's always so much going on beneath the surface of this surreal film, that one can't help but get caught up in the grand masterpiece of this cinematic landmark. It tackles the future, society, and what it means to be human, in more and better ways than most films ever will. A true experience.
