Based on Philip K Dick's "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?" this is a stunning visual account of man's struggle for survival in the 21st Century, a time when robot life forms are beginning to surpass humans in not just intelligence but emotions, raising questions about our concepts of self. This is Ridley Scott's final version of this post-modern sci-fi classic; all the good bits remain, with the only differences being the lack of narration, the downbeat ending, and the blink-and-miss-it dream sequence. Still brooding and dark, still brilliant, still a classic.
