Dark but highly illuminating gem from the eighties

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2001)

Talk about a rare brilliant combination of director (Ridley Scott), actors (Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer) and Soundtrack (Vangelis). This is absolutely one of the highlights in cinematography. A dark but powerful futuristic vision on just what it means to be human. With all the limited means available at that time (1982), Ridley Scott has succeeded in creating an utterly realistic (if rather horrifying) view of our world, a few centuries from now. The sorrowful but legendary score by the Greek composer Vangelis couldn't have been better. Absoutely convincing.
