A deep, and intriguing Sci-Fi film. Still stunning after all these years.

Rating: 10/10 (31 December 2009)

Due to the complexity of this film, and it's many different versions, I've .... watching this film for a long time. Now that director Ridley Scott have released the final cut and I felt I had a better understanding of films, I decided to see it. Well it's well worth the wait, and If you haven't seen it, well what are you waiting for?
This movie has earned a place among the top 10 Sci-Fi films of all time, and I understand why. Like most movies from the 80's based on earth future, it has a very unique and of course wrong impression of the coming future. Some of the technology is too good, and some still looks like the 80's. But that doesn't matter, it the story that important in Blade Runner. I'm not really gonna spoil anything, but it's very deep story with many interesting parallels. Since the movie is about artificial humans it's no wonder people have said that there are religious analogy's in this film. It I would at least say that it's not impossible. There are many hidden symbols in this film, and much that I still don't understand. And this is definitely a film that must be viewed many times, before you fully understands it.
I must say I was impressed by seeing Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard. Since this movie is from 1982, Harrison Ford made this between the shooting of Star Wars the empire strikes back and return of the Jedi. And still Ford brings us one of his strongest performances ever. Rutger Hauer as Roy Batty is definitely a scene stealer, as he brings us a chilling performance, as well as a character we emphasize with. Daryl Hannah & Edward James Olmos as Pris and Gaff are two of the most enigmatic characters I've ever seen in film.
A lot of the credit should go to Hampton Fancher and David Webb Peoples for this brilliant screenplay. And Ridely Scott made sure it was handled the right way. If you're a Sci-Fi fan or like deep and meaningful films, you have missed a lot if you haven't seen this film.
I give this film no other rating than a 10/10.
