"More human than Human..."

Rating: 10/10 (17 July 2013)

This is the one for which Ridley Scott should be remembered, a combination of Philip K. Dick's novel and Lester del Ray's short story, HELEN O'LOY. Certainly, few sf films have looked half as good: the smoky, rain-misted NOIR visuals put to shame most of what's been done in the genre and the Vangelis music is some of the most moving I've ever heard (and it wouldn't have hurt to have had MORE of it throughout). Harrison Ford is at the very top of his game, here, and it's highly unlikely that Sean Young will ever be this beautiful again. (And, just for the record, I think SHE should've been Catwoman in the second of Tim Burton's BATMAN films. That one, it seems to me, should've been a real no-brainer...) Scott's high-water mark.
