Synopsis:
The Good: I can easily see why this is such a classic. You can see the roots of future sci-fi on display. Ford was his usual self and Sean Young was interesting, stoic, but present. There’s a lot going on here and most of it is engaging while inhabiting a world that feels real and possible.
The Bad: The story is subtle…subdued and as a result hard to follow at times. I actually miss movies written this way, made to make you think, all the dots are present but not many lines connecting them.
Best Line: It’s too bad she won’t live but then again, who does?’
Fun Fact: Rutger Hauer came up with many inventive ideas for his characterization, like the moment when he grabs and fondles a dove. He also improvised the now-iconic line “All those moments will be lost in time… like tears in rain”. He later chose “All those moments” as the title of his autobiography. – IMDb
