A philosophical journey in a dystopian future

Rating: 9/10 (6 October 2017)

I'm a sci-fi addicted guy. I saw all the movies you can possibly name made since 1902 that regard science fiction. I've watched and analyzed Blade Runner for years since i was a little kid, explored old movies seeking spots that could have inspired that movie, and noticed most of the references and analogies in the movies after it. To me, Ridley Scott was extremely lucky to be surrounded by the right people at the right time to achieve such a high quality sci-fi noir movie (the original and final cut versions). Each and every year i hope that some rich talented guy make a movie that can somehow give me the same goose bumps and thrills me with philosophical questions; finally after many many years i've seen a movie that not only entertained me with those, but also delivered some of the most fascinating shots i've ever seen. This movie made me think about our society, about the relations, connections we have with the people around us, with the struggle of any individual to find a purpose, the fight to belong to something. The pace reminds me of those glorious old movies made in the past where every detail had a weight, every expression was a book to decipher. It is definitely not a movie for everyone, it's distant from the style of today for many reasons; exactly like an expansive bottle of Johnnie Walker, some people won't understand the taste and just reject it.
