Great Cyberpunk / postapocoliptic Cinema!

Rating: 10/10 (5 September 2000)

The dark, vibrant world of "Blade Runner" resonates in the writing of William Gibson and other great cyberpunk authers. Though the film is based upon the book "Do androids Dream of Electric Sheep" by Philip K. Dick, it only resembles the book in the charecters and not in the wider story. It chalenges our ideas of the value and meening of life that films like "The Truman Show" and "The Matrix" examine today. Rutger Hauer played a great performance in this film. He is one of my favorite Sci-Fi film stars. He can bring meening to terrible scripts or, as in this case, flesh out a great character. I would recomend "The blood of Heroes" and "Omega Doom" as two of my favorite Rutger movies.
