AVERAGE RATING 
Director Ridley Scott's hauntingly prescient vision of the not-too-distant future stars Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard, a retired police assassin, or "blade runner." The Los Angeles of 2019 is a dark, polluted, overcrowded dystopia dominated by cloud-piercing buildings and looming neon billboards, the air dense with acid rain and flying traffic. World-weary Deckard has been called out of retirement to liquidate four escaped "replicants"--genetically derived androids of great strength, intelligence, and nearly-human emotion who serve as slaves and prostitutes in the off-planet colonies

Blade Runner
Reviewed by D. Wiley on 19-12-2007 (Jersey Shore) |
| Blade Runner stands out as one of the all-time best and most original sci-fi adventures ever put to film. The plot's premise surrounding the possibility of extended life hits the viewer to the core. And the "villains" are both repellent and highly sympathetic, making for some of the most complex and contradictory characters ever depicted. And Harrison Ford is perfectly cast as the deadpanned gumshoe wrestling with his own moral demons. Unfortunately, this DVD belongs in the... category for technical reasons. It is one of the absolute worst video and audio transfers ever made to the DVD format. And personally, I think the original version with Ford's voice-over is a much better movie. There is no reason why both versions couldn't have been included on the same disc. |
