Blade Runner is the most beautiful and poetic film I've ever seen.

Rating: 10/10 (26 May 2001)

Everything about Blade Runner, from its exceptional music and script to its brilliant direction; oozes with substance and style.
The screenplay, by Hampton Fancher and Philip K. Dick, is well written and intelligent. The dialogue is smart, philosophical, and meaningful.

The cast does a fine job at bringing voice to the script. Harrison Ford delivers a fine performance as the troubled Blade Runner, Rick Deckard. Rutger Hauer quite possibly gives the best performance of the film, though. Hauer plays the replicant, Roy Batty, whom is searching for a way to prolong his life. He delivers his lines with menace and with a sorrowful undertone. Sean Young and Daryl Hannah also give noteworthy performances.
Ridley Scott is in top form here. As in Alien, he shows us that he has a very fine eye for details. His vision of Los Angeles in 2019 is frightening gritty and dark.
Jordan Cronenweth's cinematography is extraordinary. His use of lighting is quite effective.
Vangelis's jazzy blues music suits the images on screen nicely and adds a lot of soul to the film. The gothic set design of Blade Runner is incredible and help bring Ridley's vision to life.
Blade Runner is, in my opinion, one of the finest science fiction films ever made.
