Classic Science Fiction

Rating: 7/10 (8 September 2001)

Harrison Ford, one of few humans in the film, learns human emotions from non-humans. A complex character, he plays the hero role but ends up not to be the hero. Sean Young is pure passion. Rutger Howard is nothing but forgiveness. An interesting fact: Ridley Scott did not want Rutger to be the "Perfect" robot. Rutger being the poster child for the Nazi "blue eye" "blond hair" master race, it does seem hard to swallow Rutger being the perfect human robot. The entire film is right out of Metropolis. The futuristic buildings, the people, and the society are equal to Metropolis. The overall visual style to the film is its theme. It's a classic!
