Great Sci-Fi Flick!

Rating: 8/10 (7 March 2012)

Harrison Ford, Sean Young, Rutger Hauer, Daryl Hannah, Bryon James, Joanna Cassidy, Joe Turkel, William Sanderson, Edward James Olmos and M. Emmett Walsh star in Ridley Scott's 1982 sci-fi film based on the novel, "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?" This takes place in 2019 Los Angeles and Deckard (Ford) is an ex-cop sent to hunt down a group of dangerous human-like androids called, replicants. They have short lifespans and wish to meet their maker to fix them. Deckard goes to the company, the Tyrell Corporation that designed them and meets both the creator, Eldon Tyrell (Turkel) and Rachel (Young) a new replicant. Roy (Hauer) Pris (Hannah), Zora (Cassidy) and Leon (James) are the replicants. As Deckard confronts them one by one, he gains a little sympathy towards them. He and Rachel also end up falling for each other. Walsh plays police captain, Bryant who sends Deckard on his mission, Olmos plays his assistant, Gaff and Sanderson (True Blood) plays toymaker, J.F. Sabastian who works for Tyrell. This is a great sci-fi flick with a good cast and excellent score by Vangelis. It kind of makes you wonder if the future could really be like this. The film is also known to have multiple versions, but I prefer the theatrical one. I recommend this 80's classic.
