Am I the only sci-fi lover that thinks that movie is overrated?All the performances are wooden,the pacing of the movie is too slow,Ford's voice over is terrible.Visually stunning though.

The story that the movie is based on,Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep,is much better.

of the list I like "Twelve Monkeys" (a movie that many seem to have failed to misunderstood; at least that's the impression one gets when looking at the comments in the IMDB. hardly any of the reviewers understood the meaning and importance of the last scene), "A Clockwork Orange", "Brazil" and "Altered States". I voted for "Phase IV" and "Silent Running" though, because they are two forgotten little gems. although at first glance these two movies seem to have very little in common (one deals with intelligent ants, the other with a team of astronauts caring for the last forests somewhere in space), there is a common theme: how men react in a claustrophobic situation

You seem to like the less bombastic and extravagant films there Baldy. You got good taste, I like some of those too. Silent Running is good, seen that a few times. Phase IV on the other hand I've heard of but haven't seen it yet. There are 2 post-apocalyptic films you may not be familiar with, On The Beach and Testament. Both very intelligent and well acted. Check 'em out if you haven't already.

Testament is a 1983 film starring Jane Alexander and a young Kevin Costner. It's available on DVD at www.deepdiscountdvd.com But this is region 1 though.
