In my top twenty -- some mention of dialog

Rating: Null/10 (30 December 2001)

Excellent sci-fi for the hardcore and introspective.
Loosely based on the Phillip K. Dick novel, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"
Visually stunning, well-scripted and acted with memorable roles from Rutger Hauer and Sean Young. Some discontinuity, though it hardly intrudes. Character subtleties abound; Roy senses emotion of complete sadness, maybe for the first time, nearly bursting into tears like a child while telling Pris, "There's only two of us now..." Innocently, Rachael says to Deckard, "Put your hands on me." Roy develops a sense of humor smashing his head through the wall and pretending to get stuck. And note Roy taking time to enjoy the simple pleasure of water splashing on his head.
The movie remains true to the perennial PKD theme that though life is ultimately overwhelming, in the end there is hope. The mechanized, leftover society of those who could not go "off-world" are left to deal with monumental overcrowding and remain personally disconnected paralleling Deckard's plight, whose on wife called him "Cold fish."
