Review of Final Analysis (1992) by Mragusa2 — 08 Apr 2016
The moment I saw the opening shot of the futuristic city of LA being reflected in the human iris, I was hooked onto Blade Runner. This is possibly my favorite movie of all time; definitely my favorite sci-fi movie of all time.
The plot can be hard to follow, but after viewing it multiple times, I found it to be very fascinating and rich with themes like religion, death and man's reliance on technology. It's the sort of plot that will leave you thinking even after the end credits have rolled.
The main characters of Deckard (Harrison Ford) & Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer) are equally compelling, much of which is due to the outstanding performances of both actors. Roy Batty's poetic "Tears in the Rain" speech is in my mind one of the most memorable monologues in movie history.
If you can't appreciate the film's story, you can at least appreciate it as a visual spectacle. This is one of the most beautifully shot movies that I have ever seen. The shots of the neon-filled city are breathtaking, & the imagery plays off of the movie's themes to the letter.
The futuristic dystopian city of LA is absolutely jaw-dropping, and makes you want to see more of this world. Greek composer Vangelis helps bring this world to life with his unique score, a beautiful symphony of futuristic synthesizers.
