Zee Best Evah!

Rating: 10/10 (28 June 2006)

The greatest: cast, crew, f/x, story, visuals, soundtrack (Vangelis is a smoothie), and the characters, oh! the characters! Better than Dune. Even better than--gasp!--Empire. This is a total geek-out movie. Go director's cut all the way. It doesn't have the cheesy Marlow voice-over, but it does have a unicorn! Even though Harrison Ford is in it, worry not--he has no family to be kidnapped and/or ransomed. I also heard, perhaps read it somewhere, that Roy Batty's speech on the rooftop was largely improvised. Furthermore, having an impeccable record of unadulterated heterosexuality, I can say with grand enthusiasm that ol' Rutger is a smashing, strapping quasi-villain to be adored til earth's end. This movie is better than any movie you'll see in theaters today. The production is killer, even by today's standards. I've never seen it sold anywhere for more than eleven bucks. Go rent, nay, buy now! Pick up Alien and Legend while you're at it and fill the void in your DVD collection marked, "Ridley Scott science-fiction and/or fantasy trilogy."
