My all-time favorite

Rating: 10/10 (8 April 2006)

What more can be added to this masterpiece? Not only it's full of poetry but superbly directed. A story that could have been so easily turned into a low rate sci-fi flick ends up being a poetic insight into the meaning of life. It's a hard, dark story that pays homage to the "black movies" of the 30's and 40's and by mixing it with an anticipation background renders a tale of hopeless quest for the reasons that make us human. No doubt, it is Ridley Scott's best movie ever, and the soundtrack by Vangelis has become a cult among collectors, being an essential addition to the obscure atmosphere that pervades the whole movie.Harrison Ford may have given better performances than in this film, but his role as the detached, lonely Blade Runner Deckard has made him an icon in sci-fi genre. Fortunately, Scott did not fall into the temptation of making another sequel to Star Wars and he went one step forward, showing that a science fiction movie can be much more than just laser sables and x-wing fighters. A must-see for any fan or connoisseur.
