one of the greatest movies of all time

Rating: 10/10 (18 November 2008)

I find it quite astonishing that some people view this film as dull. All the way through the film Ridley Scott keeps an atmosphere going which both enchants and excites the viewer. Not to mention the rarity of a film having a moral to the story, so to speak. Visually, this movie is as good as they get and at times the film can seem poetic. The soundtrack to this film is brilliant and adds a very ambient tone to the film, as provided by Vangelis. I think those who find it dull need to watch this film again to understand the true brilliance of the films content. Many people say that 2001:a space odyssey is a dull film, but who can disagree that it was a major turning point in film history. The same is true, i think of Blade Runner. In my opinion it is one of the few films that can be considered a masterpiece of film making.
