That might be because I liked the dark scenery, the dry acting style of Harrison Ford, and liked the music of Vangelis even more. But it was also the story that was not a usual good guys vs. bad guys stuff that successful hollywood productions often mark.</p> <p> So, for years I intended to read the sci-fi novel the movie was based on, and at last now I managed to. And I liked it as well. The setting is somewhat different from Blade Runner's background, and not so highlighted dark, but also airs hopelessness not with pictures but with words. Well, you might expect that a book works that way.</p>
