Blade Runner is more than Ridley, Vangelis, P.K. Dick, more than it's crew or material used in the work. From childhood the first time I saw the movie it's effect still dwells in my mind. The scenery is more melancholic than fourties America, or seventies France where hardboiled noir has it's own space. For me no special effect surpassed the beauty of Blade Running. Like a visual track for the lost causes. (ok managed to sound not like a scifi nerd, oh no movie geek is still at large)

If nothing else, this film is a masterpiece of visual style. It just looks fucking cool as hell. All those cool blues and rain-slicked surfaces and neon lights and steam and smoke and gorgeous lighting. But it also has a wonderful score, a compelling neo-noir mood, and a fairly intelligent sci-fi story. And the experience is very engaging, although not without a few bumps. I think Roy Batty is kind of a silly character and he doesn't come across as badass as he did in my younger days.

A frankly bizarre combination of soft science fiction, film noir, arch symbolism and arthouse surrealism somehow given a Hollywood budget with which it thoughtfully and mournfully deliberates about what it means to be human. That this movie even exists in anything resembling its final form is a miracle; that it's a masterpiece is something beyond.

Ridley Scott's epic visual style works masterfully in this grim cyber punk/film noir vision of the future. Harrison Ford turns in what I believe is his best performance. The Final Cut, though not leaps and bounds better than the Director's Cut (because the Director's Cut is still very good), is absolutely masterful. It's a sheer wonder to see Ridley Scott's original vision, plus the new transfer is fantastic. It boggles the mind how anyone thought the Theatrical Cut would've been preferred.

Honestly I wasn't particularly blown away by Blade Runner. I found it to be visually interesting, but otherwise a tad dull. Then again there's some great direction and action scenes backed up by the excellent Ford, so that tends to make up for some of the losses. The premise is very interesting, but some aspects seem a little underdeveloped and the whole perception of the movie sometimes seems a little narrow. It's obviously incredibly inspirational to many subsequent sci-fi though.

(Final Cut) I'm very disappointed that it took me this long to actually take the time to sit down and watch Blade Runner without any distractions. The first few times I tried to watch it, I found it boring and overrated. This couldn't be further from the truth. I don't know if it was a maturity or patience thing, but this film is a vision. Absolutely everything works, the gorgeous score, beautiful shots, bleak/colorful/vibrant settings, layered characters, everything. See this movie.

Misnomer of a title if I've ever seen one. Clearly chosen for sounding bad-ass but there's no combination of blades and running whatsoever in this film and it's not at all bad-ass but melancholy, subdued, and remorseful - characters get lost in big desolate sets all awash in murky teals and far-off saxophone wails. By the end it's not clear if our sleepy protagonist is really the hero, partly because the antagonist is made impossible to root against by Rutger Hauer's fierce but playful energy.

I really enjoyed this, and it took long enough for me to watch it. Some of the performances are great, and I found the characters intriguing as well as the visuals, which may have been my favorite part of the movie. There's just so much to look at that it all wowed me. I also found the score and the cinematography to both be beautiful, and this is some of Scott's best directing. It's a little slow but I didn't think it was very boring or long. If you like the sci/fi genre this might please you.

Sci-Fi has the potential to make us think about our world and ourselves in new and different ways, and that's exactly what Blade Runner does. It's too bad Ridley Scott will most likely never make anything like this (or Alien) again.

(Final Cut version) Not being the biggest fan of the original release, this film finally caught my eye with its captivating atmosphere and revolutionary vision of dystopian Los Angeles. Harrison Ford is a likeable leading man and the story, while simple and straightforward, is laced with enough ambiguity to offer plenty of food for thought after repeat viewings. This version is the one I recommend.

Not nearly as well acted and engaging as I remembered it being as a kid, but the antagonist, Roy, is as electrifying and supreme as ever. Sensual and complex, he makes for a challenging antithesis to the stolid and ironically spiritless Deckard. Astonishing set design, photography, and the dulcet ethnic songs of Vangelis' soundtrack lift Blade Runner to a timeless magisterial gaze over the longing cityscape of futuristic cinema. Hope to see it on the big screen one day.

Ridley Scott really should make more sci-fi, because when he does he seems to do it so well. "Blade Runner" is a rich, atmospheric and beautiful film. This movie has so many memorable scenes, there really are too many to list. Scott presents a truly convincing future that is backed up by Harrison Ford's finest performance and a brilliant supporting cast. The Sci-fi Holy Grail!

Blade Runner has everything you could want out of the science fiction genre. A well-crafted setting, a likable yet imperfect protagonist, a villain you can both fear and feel for, and a plot full of subtle nuances that will keep you thinking long after your first viewing. Top all of that off with an incredible score and brilliant film noir inspired art direction, and you've got a truly remarkable film.

A rare triumph of style over substance with visuals & efx that are so amazing they still impress 30 years after the fact which is really no small achievement given how much CGI changed the game. The story however is threadbare & lugubriously told & if not for the ethical questions raised by the act of killing artificial intelligence (it would be more interesting if the replicants were presented as less odd/menacing & primarily acting in self-defense like Zora) it would be gorgeous & that's it.

Flawed, over-praised film noir set in the future. May 2017 rewatch: the languid pace is OK, but the weak script really is a procession of clunky scenes in each of which Human A meets Replicant B, and either A kills B, B kills A, or one or other decides not to. Nevertheless, the look, sound and production design all still hold up 35 years later, though with a noticeably eighties commitment to shoulder pads and a possibly record-breaking use of smoke machines. Score is for the so-called Final Cut.

When Scott saw the first edit of Blade Runner, he exclaimed "God, it's marvelous. What the fuck does it all mean?!" Reversing the original moral position of Dick's (even weirder) novel, this meditation on classic Sci-Fi themes such as identity, empathy and other high brow buzz words, perhaps lacks sense of causality. But fact remains that Blade Runner is a milestone in modern Science Fiction movie making, and one of the most beautiful films of all time - featuring _that_ death scene.

The popular introduction of cyberpunk into the cinematic lexicon, ostensibly a high-tech actioner but in fact a measured, melancholy, and existentialist work which operates on multiple levels of thematic complexity. Its lineage traces to Greek tragedy and film noir, filled with religious symbolism, on man's hubris in the age of genetic engineering and artificial intelligence. Not to mention its intoxicating audiovisual design: a rain-slicked neon gloom complemented by a downbeat synthetic score.

(Final Cut) It feels like there are lots of undeveloped ideas, and given how great are visuals and overall sounds in this film are, I consider those underdevelopments missed perfect opportunities. Character portrayed by Ford looks shallow, acting doesn't look too good either. I might sound like I disliked the film, but it's not the case - I liked it a lot, but there was plenty of room for improvement. I have fantasies about Blade Runner directed by Kubrick.

Initially overlooked and under appreciated, now stands as one of the defining moments for science fiction.

Ford truly steps away from the Han Solo and Indiana Jones archetypes.

My God this film's a punishing and convoluted mess. While future recuts did away with the embarrassing narration, they're equally as bad. As a story the mystery isn't compelling and it only becomes quotable at the end. Still, fanboys go gaga over it because of the escapist sci-fi world--which is less a movie and more a setting for a Shadowrun RPG from an overweening GM. And the theme is basic for intro level Philosophy majors. All it has going for it are the influential visuals. Avoid.

The soundtrack's melancholic quality meshed with the city's bustling ambiance engineers a haunting and vaguely sympathetic understanding towards a chaotic and disconnected social wasteland. Ford's Deckard is a lonesome character; his search for his own humanity through a life of hired mayhem is tragic but engaging. The film's Eastern influence seems frighteningly prophetic, as the geisha echoes amongst the skyscrapers, fading to Vangelis' blues. The director's cut is meditative.

Currently my favourite film. The 'Final Cut' version is almost perfect cinema. So incredibly beautiful and subtly poignant of the fragility of our own sense of existence. Undermines our everyday solipsism without being overbearing about it. Fitting and memorable score, great lighting, amazing sets... detailed and exquisite.

Initially, its patient storytelling is welcome, facilitating immersion in the film's dark, lonely world. By the end, however, transitions are conspicuously absent due to individual scenes' lengths, and the slow pace of the film feels clunky. Regardless, a compelling film with a depth of symbolism and undeniable visual panache.

The slow pace is welcome when we're cruising through the moody city setting accompanied by that unnerving synth soundtrack, but much less so when it comes to the dry plot in between (especially that "romantic" aside, cringe-worthy both for its cheese and rape-y vibes). The fantastic rooftop scene that switches up the typical bad vs. good climax ("All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain"), along with the tantalizing scene that follows make for a stellar ending, however.

Excellent movie, with an iconic portrayal of the dark, dank and asian-influenced dystopian future. Harrison Ford was great, with a weathered noir demeanor as well as an impressive vulnerability. He wasn't the ultimate tough guy; he looked like a sheep among wolves at times. And Rutger Hauer was of course amazing as a psychotic android that invoked a bit of sympathy.

It's never been an absolute all-time favorite of mine as it is for many (the actual events of the plot never pull me along that grippingly), but it's a moody, fascinating and hugely imaginative and innovative sci-fi noir that definitely had a big influence on all gritty and cyberpunk-flavored sci-fi that followed in all mediums, from film to TV to video games to comics and anything else. Rutger Hauer is awesome as Roy Batty and the film is a visual treat start to finish.

Letdown City. Thought I'd love this ("neo-noir"? "visually stunning?" Yup, works for me!). But nothing clicked for me...at all. Not Ford; not the story; not even the much-ballyhooed visuals. I suppose it was ahead of its time, and there were certain set pieces that were stunning (the huge video wall, of course), but it was not the feast-for-the-eyes I've heard about. There's not one likable or interesting character to be found, and the only thing it made me feel was overwhelmingly apathetic.

Blade Runner has a legitimate claim to having the best production design, art direction and score in film history.

A middle finger to all the works of fiction that feature entire peoples that are inherently evil just because they are different. Atmospheric, well thought-out sci-fi where the setting actually serves the story instead of just itself. Of course most of all of this is owed to Philip K. Dick's book. This is also one of the rare times an actor's utter inability to act actually serves the film. I'm of course talking about Harrison Ford as the main villain.

The quintessential sci-fi cult classic, still feels inventive and unique decades later despite influencing everything ever since. The iconic rain-drenched, smog-filled vistas are thick with intrigue, dazzling with hundreds of hover cars, towering bilboards and blinking neons, underpinned by Vangelis' haunting score. As we rapidly proceed towards this future, we still yearn for a taste of it even as much as we recall from its dystopia. A neverending inspiration, and fueling many sleepless nights.

One of the most overrated movies of all time. Philip K Dick is a genius but his work translates so poorly to the big screen and I really can't figure out why. This movie is slow and quite boring most of the time. Harrison Ford is great but you can't make up for a pretty weak plot. 80's movies that are set in the future are inherently hard to watch though because everything in the 80's looked like shit and a future that included Atari is just unrealistic. Don't believe the hype

Probably the best science-fiction film ever made. No other film does nearly as good a job of transplanting the viewer into the future, a world that is alien is a myriad of ways but still contains the basic element of humanity, even in non-humans. Perfectly acted, perfectly directed. Further, this film works on so many levels--on the surface it's an action film. Deeper down it's a vision of the future. But script-wise, it's actually film noir. That means there is something for any viewer.

The best visual representation of the future ever. Nothing could ever beat the stylistic perfectness of this. So much care and detail goes into every set piece, every costume. It's breathtaking. It's clear where every other film made after this gets it's inspiration. Has probably the best special effects for it's time that I have ever seen.

I heard all this talk this was a great movie, but when I finally sat down and watched it, I wasn't especially 'wowed' by the story. ---Rewatched before seeing 2049. The scenes was beautiful and still hold up well, but the pacing/cut scenes and acting were awful.

A top ten movie for me. Stunned me when I saw it as kid. Still blows me away. Ridley Scott's best film by far and a great performance by Rugter Hauer. Love this film.
