Critics Consensus

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

This movie loses track of the few expectations it sets up, and the formlessness adds to a viewer's demoralization -- the film itself seems part of the atmosphere of decay.

3/5

Ridley Scott ought to be a set decorator, rather than a director. In Blade Runner, he loses sight of the story while devoting all his attention to decor and lighting. The decor and lighting, it must be admitted, are stupendous.

Still profound 18 years after its sell-by date, Blade Runner remains worthy of acclaim and analysis even as it exists in a "future" with very little resemblance to the one that came to pass.

4.5/5

Thanks to its powerful visuals and brilliant acting, it is a movie that does not get old: no matter how many times you revisit it, there will always be some new elements or symbolism that stand out with each rewatch.

4/4

Rarely in the annals of film history has a movie received a complete critical and popular reevaluation in as short a period of time as Blade Runner (and those of us who championed it since Day One plugged it at every opportunity).

One of the 1980s greatest sci-fi films—or greatest films, period.

Great to see this classic having a rerun on the big IMAX screen 44 years after its initial release. Sure 2019 didn’t quite reach those dizzy heights of space colonies and near perfect robots, but what with the constant rain in LA and everyone still smoking like chimneys? However the Coca Cola and Budweiser product placements were spot on! But seriously this was a great sci-fi movie for its time. Hugely enjoyable to watch again all these decades later. The Vangelis soundtrack has stood the test of time and the special effects leave some more recent ones for dead. Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer have stellar performances. Wonderful memories …
