Simply one of the most incredible movies you can ever experience.

Rating: 10/10 (19 October 1998)

Blade Runner is one of those movies that one just loves right off the bat. The visuals of course are stunning and along with the dark, dreary mood of futuristic LA pull you into the movie. Be forewarned that the movie is long (director's cut, 117 mins), so you must watch and listen to this movie. But it's worth it. The directors cut is the one to see, as well. The voice over in the theatrical release is unnecesary and the "happy ending" that the studio had tacked on has been cut. Also there is the odd question raised on the back of the movie cover that Deckard may himself be a replicant. Something to do with the unicorn dream. As for the performances, all the actors are excellent, especially Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer who incidentally is grossly under-rated as an actor. The man is great in Blade Runner. Also the Vangelis soundtrack is strangely compelling. Once you hear it, you want to own it. If you only buy one movie, ever in your lifetime, buy Blade Runner. It's infinitely watchable.
