Consensus: Misunderstood when it first hit theaters, the influence of Ridley Scott's mysterious, noir-influenced Blade Runner has deepened with time. A visually remarkable, achingly human sci-fi masterpiece.

Top Critic...a hopelessly overrated piece of work.

As a display terminal for the wizardry of Designers Lawrence G. Paull, Douglas Trumbull and Syd Mead, the movie delivers.
Aug 22, 2008
Top CriticFrom the opening shot of a Los Angeles cityscape at night in the year 2019, it is clear that Scott has conjured up something special.
Aug 22, 2008
For all its armor of brutalizing urban dystopia (and, boy, is there a lot of that -- you could fund a war on terror with the fog- and rain-machine budgets alone), Blade Runner has a gooey center.
Apr 2, 2008
It may be a quarter of a century old, but Blade Runner still seems like the future . . .
Mar 19, 2008
Paradoxically, Scott's crowded, misty, neon streetscape seems even murkier; fuzz I chalked up to VHS tapes is production designer Lawrence G. Paull dumping ashtrays in the air.
Feb 22, 2008
Probably close to being on par with Fritz Lang's Metropolis in terms of grandeur -- although of a stunningly different and far more unsettling kind.
Feb 19, 2008
The new version helped me see the soul because, ironically, this rendering is so much brighter. Noir or not, a film you can’t see properly is a film you can’t fully appreciate.
Jan 4, 2008
Though it's a triumph of visual futurism and an ornament to sci-fi cinema as well as to cinema in general, I resist it on some level.
Jan 1, 2008
It's an overwhelming, immersive experience, a total creation of a possible future so complete that you don't need exposition to know how we got from here to there (2019).
Jan 1, 2008
Stylistically, Blade Runner is the Citizen Kane of sci-fi movies.
Dec 18, 2007
Scott's film may keep us at arm's length, but it holds us, too.
Dec 17, 2007
Blade Runner, which does not look one bit dated, envelops us so completely in its off-kilter, near-future world.
Dec 7, 2007
The changes are minor, but the overall effect is a much cleaner, more logical, and more organically flowing movie.
Dec 6, 2007
Blade Runner has only gotten better with time. Do yourself a favor and pass over anything new in theaters and go for this old classic, it still has the power to dazzle and amaze.
