A Work Of Art

Rating: 10/10 (10 April 2005)

Ridley Scott really outdid himself with this film. The effects for the time are nothing short of outstanding and give today's computer generated effects are run for their money.
As many have stated this is not your typical sci-fi action flick but then what Philip K. Dick story is? Like the man himself the setting is only part of the story and the self realization of his characters are main part.
The look of LA in 2020 or so is what really makes the film. Dark, wet, always raining and the inhabitants a mix of Japanese, American, Chinese and Mexican the town is overcrowded, sprawling and is a hell of its own.
It is great to see a young Harrison Ford as Deckard the Blade Runner and a drop dead gorgeous Sean Young as Rachael. Darryl Hannah and Rutger Hauer add to a fine cast. If you have never seen this film then do yourself a favor and rent it today. Better yet, buy the directors cut, you won't be sorry you did!
