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. Read critic reviews

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.

Ridley Scott has produced a new vision that is forbidding.

Film noir cubed, science fiction a step beyond 2001.

A masterpiece of dystopian science fiction on film.

Too bad the filmmakers didn't try to recapture the modest virtues of the Dick novel, which (despite many flaws of its own) has a humor and humanity that are nowhere felt in 'Blade Runner.

The contradictions that plague the movie are apparent from the outset.

Jan 26, 2017Many viewers enjoy the offbeat editing and exceptionally thin storytelling, but for me, Blade Runner was an overrated mess.Sean T Super Reviewer

Feb 06, 2016A sci-fi masterpiece indeed. Blade Runner works on every level. Dark, intelligent, visually breathtaking as well as having great performances. Blade Runner is a sci-fi masterpiece that I would implore you to watch if you haven't!Mr N Super Reviewer

Nov 18, 2015I understand completely why this movie was misunderstood upon its initial release in the 80's. However it's more understandable why it was so influential and has become recognized as one of the best Sci-Fi films of all time.Kameron W Super Reviewer

Sep 28, 2015Blade Runner is great noir sci-fi, great mood and setting. The android characters (especially Rutger Hauer) give off an aura of aliveness, which fits the story very well. The cinematography and sets are excellent (as with other Ridley Scott films). All-in-all Blade Runner lives up to its reputation as a sci-fi classic.Robert B Super Reviewer
Blade Runner Quotes
Batty: | Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave. |
Roy Batty: | Not very sporting to fire on an unarmed opponent. I thought you were supposed to be good. Aren't you the "good" man? C'mon, Deckard. Show me what you're made of. |
Rick Deckard: | Replicants are like any other machine, are either a benefit or a hazard. If they're a benefit it's not my problem. |
Gaff: | Its too bad she wont live, but then again who does? |
Gaff: | It's too bad she won't live, but then again who does? |
