truly a stunning movie

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2001)

NOTE: This is my second comment on this film. I feel that my first comment was unable to show what I was trying to get across.

If ever there was a realistic film with fantastic F/X, great acting and style, and a story with a thousand facets to it, Blade Runner is that film. The scenario is something very new. Harrison Ford portrays a futuristic detective/bounty hunter on the trail of 4 murderous androids in an awe-inspiring 2019 Los Angeles setting. The entire movie is a profound mood piece of flying police vehicles, monolithic towers, a web of neon endorsement, and the questioning of what exactly makes us human. The future as seen in Blade Runner is a very real one and can even be applied to today's enviroment, a future that is the pure product of the Cyberpunk Movement. But Blade Runner should be appreciated for more than its superb vision and effects. The plot is a thought-provoking one with thousands of possiblities to the questions that may arise. With this kind of film, an all-star cast, and an awesome story with great F/X to support them, Blade Runner is a rare treat.
