Visually and intellectually stunning.

Rating: 7/10 (24 August 1999)

I watched this movie for the first time on DVD today, and left the room with mixed emotion. On one hand, there was the visual affect that the movie had. Ridley Scott (of Alien fame, another favorite movie of mine)directed the movie with such brilliance that he belongs in a category usually reserved for Kubrick, or maybe Speilberg. The film also affected me intellectually, and left many unaswered questions, that I still cannot manage to find the answers to. "Was Deckard REALLY a replicant?" is the most haunting of all. While the movie is very deep, it is sometimes drawn out and long. I saw the directors' cut, so the narration was deleted. Perhaps that may have added more to my experiance. I give it a 7.
