Blade Runner

Now, I am NOT the biggest fan of science fiction movies, so I was a bit wary when I was asked to watch this film. I had, of course, heard of Blade Runner, but I didn't really have any clue as to what the plot was.. apart from that it was really sci fi-ish, and just generally not a film I would choose to watch.

"Deckard, a blade runner, has to track down and terminate 4 replicants who hijacked a ship in space and have returned to earth seeking their maker"... says IMDB of the plot. Sounds okay... but I actually found myself really really enjoying this film.

Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer are both really great in the movie. I loved the scenes at the end when Hauer's character is chasing after Deckard.

The plot seems relatively simple, but it can get quite confusing at times. At the end of the film, I felt a bit baffled and had to have it explained to me :P Apparently, it all makes much more sense if you watch it again.

It's a fantastic looking film, very dark with almost constant rain, which really adds to the atmosphere. The soundtrack is also really good. I would give this film another go, definitely.

8/10
