I love it.

Rating: 10/10 (6 February 2010)

This movie is made after Philip K. Dick novel, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?". Seek reference on wikipedia if you want to fill the background info of the movie.
I was familiar with Philip K. Dick writings, but I missed this one. First I saw the movie and after I did read the book, and as far I am concerned , the movie is better and doesn't follow close the book.
At it's release , was a commercial failure, Harrison Ford hate it and there are several version. I got to watch two of them. First one , on a VHS tape, with Deckard (Harrison Ford) voice over and now a director cut on DVD without the voice. Although other disagree , I liked the voice over version. It gives a good insight, goes well with the scenery and music.
Since the movie was made in early 80's , it has a retro style and visual effects might seem outdated by today standards. Remember, personal computers, flat screens, were in incipient state back then. Despite that, Blade Runner has a beautiful, dark, unique image and feeling . The score from Vangelis is one of the best if not the best movie score, at least for me (I love Vangelis's music).
It is a sad , cold icy on the spine movie, for retrospective kind of people. You will enjoy the cast (Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Edward James Olmos and his origami, ... ), the plot (despite some logic holes), the way it raise questions and of course, the final; one of the most symbolic and best movie endings.
I had the opportunity to first watch it several years after release, when it was just another case on a shelve of a rent store. It was a joy to discover it. I tried to recommend it to other peoples, but it seems , when hyped, doesn't have the same effect.
I still watch this movie , from time to time, when I want to get a cold shiver on my back. I love it.
