Effortlessly one of the greatest sci-fi classics of all time

Rating: 9/10 (19 November 2004)

This is simply one of the best science fiction films of all time, if not simply one of the best films of all time. While many people identify Harrison Ford with the Star Wars or Indiana Jones trilogies, this is certainly a far great piece of work on his part... The gritty, dystopian near future where sprawling cityscapes encompass and enforce classes truly set the ideals for countless science-fiction classics.
Whether one watches the cinema release or the director's cut, this is a film that manages to remain a timeless classic. An original man against machine classic that so many have copied... but really, so much better. There are really few of the classic threads this film doesn't touch, life, death, love, hate and so on.
At it's core this is a film about what life is and what defines it... the film asks more questions than it answers... but the ending be it Director's or the original are probably not what you imagine and regardless of whether or no you are a fan of science fiction, this is simply one of the best films ever made.
