Only the best!

Rating: 10/10 (22 September 2017)

I was just watching the Final Cut version of this movie, and I can say, without a doubt, that this is one of the best science fiction movies ever made. It's up there with 2001 in my opinion. The production values, alone, is one of the best assets of the movie. It's one of those movies that, once its grabbed you, it will never leave you. I got to see this movie in the mid 90s when I was about ten. I didn't quite get what was going on, but it was enough that I knew I was watching something great. Looking back now, I'm proud to say that I was smart enough to realize the greatness despite a fundamental lack of knowledge and understanding. This movie, for me, was just like 2001.
When I watched that movie, I knew something important was going on, but I wasn't able to fully grasp just how good it really was. Woody Allen, god rest his perv soul, made a great comment about 2001 that I relate totally with that movie and Blade Runner: the more times you watch it, the more you like it. I could go on and on. I need not write a thesis. With that said and like 2001, this movie would be lost without its soundtrack. Vangelis delivered on this like no other--except, maybe, Stanley Kubrick. Many people don't know this, but Kubrick, at the last minute, pulled his original soundtrack to 2001, and he replaced the orchestrated parts with the Strauss' family work. Both movies would be remiss with the loss of their highly important music
