Um þessa kvikmynd

21st-century detective Rick Deckard brings his masculine-yet-vulnerable presence to this stylish noir thriller. In a future of high-tech possibility soured by urban and social decay, Deckard hunts for fugitive, murderous replicants - and is drawn to a mystery woman whose secrets may undermine his soul.

Einkunnir og umsagnir

one of the best films of all time. it's got every genre, futurized. it's got some of the most memorable lines of any film ever...and based on a fantastic idea. a brilliant flash of sci-fi cinema that will live in many of our hearts until the day we perish (watch the Final Cut version if you can... Dolby 5.1 on a decent home system...immerse the senses)

What you see is the original cinematic edition, replete with the odious narration. Ridley Scott later was able to release the Director's Cut, which removes the narration and adds some scenes. That's the one to see. Of course Bladerunner gets full marks, regardless.

My all time favourite movie and I'm just couple of years older than the movie it self. :) Based on a book "Do androids dream of electric sheep?", from 1968, same year as more ground breaking movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" was released. After Blade Runner swepped cinemas all around the world in 1982 it fast became benchmark for all future sci-fi movies. Prior to it's launch it was supposed to be the next big movie featuring Harrison Ford, after he did rather well in Star Wars trilogy. It surpassed those expectations. Blade Runner perfectly captures the ambient of future following daily routines of a police man. Music by Vangelis is just a perfect match for this piece of art movie where every single frame can be put up on your wall as dystopian art.
