a science-fiction classic keeping its dark glamour

Rating: 9/10 (7 January 2000)

It is said that this is one of the classics of science fiction that influenced many of the films made in the following two decades. I think the reason lies not that much in the usual science fiction effects (which are not bad) but in the original and well structured idea - robots are on many regards more human the homo sapiens species. Add to this one of the best acts in the career of Harrison Ford, the retro-futuristic landscape and Vangelis' musical track - and here you have both an enjoyable movie experience and a 'classic' that keeps much of its original dark glamour.
