The most incredible movie to come out in the early 1980's!

Rating: 10/10 (20 January 2018)

A film classic that I simply can't rank as the best science fiction movie of all time, as some have (after all '2001: A Space Odyssey' preceded it by over a decade), but it sure as hell ranks as one of the best! I was mesmerized throughout. I saw the version where Harrison Ford added narration and perspective, his perspective, as events unfolded. Rutger Hauer's performance was incredibly powerful in particular his final words as his life came to it's engineered end: "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die." If you haven't seen Rutger in this scene look it up on the internet, better yet see the film! There are several versions of 'Blade Runner' at this point (e.g. the Director's Cut) but I still prefer the original, but see them all as they are all available in a box set. Positively an all time classic with an incredible dystopian vision of the future.
