most underrated sci-fi of the 1980's. The best in its time.

Rating: 10/10 (5 February 2006)

Bladerunner is my favorite movie for the past 17 years. I saw it when I was 13 and was mesmerized by the story and haunting music. I still get chills watching it. It tackles the deep, dark content of androids and their place on earth. The score by Vangelis is amazing(an excellent modern composer/musician. The futuristic setting is believable and dark. Harrison Ford and Sean Young have great chemistry and their similar quiet personalities play off each other well in the movie. The supporting cast has many famous faces of today such as Edward James Olmos and others. The supporting characters make this future world come alive. I've seen the director's cut. Just skip it. If you can't see the theatrical version, then wait. I hear it may be re-released next year: 2007. It is adapted from a novel 'Do androids dream of electric sheep,' a Phillip K. Dick novel. The author who has been the basis for such works as AI and Minority Report. If these credentials don't encourage you to give it a second look, here are some of the best parts. The troubled cop character with deep moral questions, love, secrets, deceit, stunning graphics and visuals, and some answers to the big questions we have about life: Why are we here and how long have we got?
