*** 1/2 out of ****

Rating: 8/10 (2 September 2002)

Superbly made science fiction classic tells the story of a "blade runner", Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), who's job is to hunt down and kill replicants, a form of robot that is virtually identical to humans. Full of great ideas and images about the future, and despite being twenty years old it looks more convincing then most newer sci-fi movies. The plot gets a little muddled and confusing towards the latter half of the movie, but if you can stay with it until the end, it offers a satisfying completion (in the director's cut at least), and plenty of questions for the viewer to think about. A staple for any science fiction viewer.
