Ridley Scott has a new dimension on the future.

Rating: 9/10 (30 May 1999)

Blade Runner is a classic film. Anyone who doesn't agree with this statement should watch Metropolis, 1984 and Judge Dredd, so you get into the mood, and then watch Blade Runner. Then perhaps you will enjoy.
This film is relaxed in it's approach: summing up the mood of Harrison Ford's character, Deckard, who wants to retire and move at his own pace. It is also dark and mean in some respects giving a bleak vision of a dark future: a future where man's idea of playing God has no certainty and comes back to haunt him.
Blade Runner is perhaps portrayed from Deckards point of view that life in the dark and nasty bleak rat race is a pointless exercise and existence and that new pastures must be found.
Some parts of the film are outstanding in every sense: the chase around the apartments between Deckard and Rutgar Hauers character, the replicant Roy Batty, the scene where Deckard is saved from a long fall by the man he is assigned to terminate (i.e. Roy Batty), the images of the flying police vehicle, shots of the immense and gigantic Tyrrell Corp. Building, the dark and creepy images of the toys and little people in JD's apartment where the silence and eerie atmosphere combine and the final scenes where Deckard goes out to the countryside ((played by a fresh faced Sean Young) a one-off replicant who has no time limit to her life span). The sight of green fields, meadows, forests and white snow capped mountains is a thought to all who watch this film: Can there be any hope from a disfunctional bleak future?
