Greatest Science-fiction/Drama movie ever made.

Rating: 10/10 (8 December 2001)

This film is definitely the greatest Science-fiction/Drama movie ever made. Ridley Scott has managed to create a movie (in conjunction with the story) that depicts the future of the world and technology in an outstanding manner whereby an environment of solitude and closure is created amongst an influx of over-population and overwhelming advertising and entrepreneurial/urban development.
The feeling of darkness and bleak desolation is beautifully conveyed as a result of the wonderful directing, and the musical undertones create the ultimate balance between surrealism and fiction.
Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer both give great performances, but the movie in itself works so well that no matter who played those roles, this movie would have been a success anyway.
In my opinion, this is really what movies are all about. It gives a fantastic account of what the director is trying to show us through the storyline while leaving the viewer mesmerized and captivated by what he/she has seen, and at the same time questioning the future and its implications.
This is an exceptionally original movie and one that will remain a classic for millions of other movies to come. Brilliant stuff.
Rating -5 out of 5-
