A masterpiece of the science fiction

Rating: 10/10 (22 February 2011)

An outstanding Sci-fi philosophic and poetic movie embedded in a cop action story, loosely based in the novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" by Philip Dick.
Blade Runner is a film about the possibilities of our near future, about the meaning of being free and of being human, about the relation between natural world and created world, about the redeeming power of loving whomever you want, despite any social constriction, among others themes. These themes, and the depth in which they are presented, are the element that place this movie over most sci-fi movies. If you miss them, you are missing the whole point of the movie.
Blade Runner is also a visionary movie, as many of the gadgets and technical inventions shown there are a reality nowadays or are being developed (video-calls, Photoshop manipulation, biological production of organs, high developed robotics, etc.). The movie also envisions many traits of our 21st century world and society: fusion cuisine, increasing interracial mixing, a globalised technologically-dominated society, the pollution and unsustainability of our cities, among few others.
The acting is superb and believable by all actors, especially by Rutger Hauer (brilliant), Daryl Hannah (in her best role ever), Harrison Ford (ditto) and Sean Young (in one of her best roles).
It is one of those movies that everybody should see, as is one of the best sci-fi movies ever, one of the best movies ever, whose message and themes are still as fresh as they were in the 1980s.
