A unique Sci-fi movie

Rating: 10/10 (18 February 2008)

Legendary writer Philip K Dick wrote the classic novel Do Andriods Dream of Electric Sheep? It was then adapted into a film titled Blade Runner. The film is a memorable sci-fi movie and very unique, when I first watched this I wasn't quite sure how to take it. It was good but I didn't quite understand it fully but after a second viewing it became a lot more clear for me and I enjoyed it more. I found Blade Runner to be a compelling and moving Si-fi movie, it has some really outstanding effects that still look great today. The shots of the City is breathtaking and amazing to look at, Ridley Scott does a great job directing Blade Runner. The acting is great, Rutger Hauer does a powerful performance as the Replicant Roy Batty. The scene at the end where Roy talks about about Tears in the rain is really moving and makes you feel sad for the character since he's only trying to continue living in this world, Harrison Ford does a great job as the Blade Runner Deckard.
Blade Runner has five different versions which have there similarities and differences, when Blade Runner was released Ridley Scott was slightly disappointed with the Theatrical version Cut and calls it his least favourite version of the film, the International version is near identical to the Theatrical version version except there's more violence shown, the 1992 Directors Cut version has a few added things including the Unicorn scene which people thought was just taken from the movie Legend (Also directed by Ridley Scott) to add something new but Ridley Scott said that the Unicorn scene was filmed for Blade Runner is not footage taken from Legend, the Workprint version was the first version of Blade Runner and features many differences compared to the later versions such has a different opening title sequence, different music and an alternate narration by Deckard, the 2007 Final Cut is the definitive version of Blade Runner and is stared to be Ridley Scott's favourite since it's how he wanted to Blade Runner to be like, Blade Runner's been digitally remastered for the Final Cut so it has better picture quality, better sound and edited scenes like the scene were Deckard speaks to the owner of the store is now in sync when before it wasn't.
The film sees a group of human copies known has Replicants going renegade. Deckard is asked to become a Blade Runner again and find these Replicants then Retire them, in the future the world has two types of people, humans and Replicants. A Replicant is a copy of a human and has a four year life span which was created as a fail safe device if ever they tried to rebel against humans, a Blade Runner is a cop who hunts Replicants that's gone rebellious and then Retire them. This Replicant group is lead by a Replicant named Roy Batty are trying to find away to prolong there life before it runs out and will stop at nothing until the get it. Deckard meets a female Replicant named Rachael who starts to help him on his case, meanwhile one of the Replicants befriends a man who helped create them and try and use him meet the creator of the Replicants to find out how to make themselves live longer before there life span is over meanwhile Deckard starts to get closer to Retiring the group of Replicants but Roy Batty won't give up without a fight and Deckard may be facing his most dangerous Replicant.
People expecting a action packed Sci-fi movie may be disappointed since Blade Runner focuses more on dialogue and intense dramatic scenes, it does have some action but that's not the main theme for Blade Runner.
Blade Runner is a unique and classic Science fiction movie that should be seen. Check this out. 10/10
