A Beautiful Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2013)

If you like science fiction it doesn't get much better than this. The lighting in this movie is exceptional. There are many versions of this movie, I would advise a first time viewer to watch the final cut. The acting, set design, wardrobe and cinematography is stunning. I would strongly advise a second viewing because it's a lot to take in. The film offers the deepest questions of self and what it really is to be human. It took a long time to get the recognition it deserved. Then again many great movies do. The film looks as good as anything you will see today visually. There are standout performances from Rutger Hauer and Harrison Ford. The music by Vangelis is beautiful with "Memories of Green" reflecting the true wonder of the movie. We are rarely treated with a movie with such thought that delivers. The visionary Sir Ridley Scott made something that truly captured the imagination.
