blade runner - a nearly perfect movie

Rating: 10/10 (15 May 2005)

i read "do androids dream of electric sheep", but it didn't have the impact for me that either version of blade runner has.
although i prefer the original version, the director's cut is a very close second. this movie is so visually beautiful, the city shown in such vivid color and feel, that i am always blown away when i get the chance to see blade runner in a theater instead of at home.
this movie offers up a lot of philosophical questions, quirky characters, and a view of the future that is neither full of soaring hope nor riddled with despair. something else i particularly appreciate is that there are no real good guys or bad guys - just like in life, all the characters are a mix of both.
without a doubt in my personal top five movies of all time, and definitely number one for science fiction.
