Thought I'd start off the week with one of the best Sci-Fi films ever.
Based on a Philip K. Dick novel (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep), loaded with a great cast, and directed by Ridley Scott - what's not to love?
Synopsis: In the year 2019, ex-detective Rick Deckard is called out of retirement to track down and eliminate a team of humanoid androids that have escaped from an outer space mining colony and have taken refuge here on Earth. During his search for the fugitives, he discovers some disturbing secrets about the future plans of the androids' manufacturer, the Tyrell Corporation.
The memorable cast includes: Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Edward James Olmos, William Sanderson, Daryl Hannah, Brion James, Joe Turkel, and Joanna Cassidy.
Hard to believe this came out all the way back in 1982. It's visual style has influenced many movies and even found it's way into our culture (cyberpunk genre).
One great thing about this movie is that it fits into so many genres: Action, thriller, drama, suspense, sci-fi, crime noir, cyberpunk, etc.
I'm curious, for those that have seen both versions, do you prefer the original theatrical release (1982) or the director's cut released in 1993? I had the pleasure of seeing both of the versions at the late Cine Capri in Phoenix. I still prefer the original theatrical release, but have talked to many people that prefer the director's cut. I just wish both were available on dvd (currently only the director's cut is available).
