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.

Pauline Kael

The New Yorker

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.

Atlanta Journal-Constitution

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.

Rated: 3/5

Zaki Hasan

San Francisco Chronicle

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.

Loud and Clear Reviews

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.

Rated: 4.5/5

Film Frenzy

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).

Rated: 4/4

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

A sci-fi neo-noir that is nothing short of perfect. Performances, direction, visuals/effects, story, soundtrack, etc...all flawless. My favorite movie of all time.

One of the best Sci fi/Cyberpunk movies ever made. The visuals and cinematography are incredible and still hold up all these years later. Ford does a fantastic performance and it is a fantastic film...

This movie is easily one of the best ever made. The acting, the characters, the depth of the story, the lighting, the score and everything else comes together in excellent harmony, cementing Ridley Scott as one of the most influential directors IMO.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

honestly the only reason why i wanted to watch this was because of cyberpunk and yes it did have a few elements that i enjoyed (the robotic voice saying move forward, really dystopian) but i didnt really understood the rest 😭every time i thought harrison ford was gonna fight he did something else and theres barely any action ngl, but thats what most people think too so dont take my opinion seriously pls 🙏🙏
