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.

Cool story, and relatable characters. If you are interested in the topic of artificial intelligence this will scratch your itch.

Hauntingly beautiful throughout. Great story and understandingly brilliant acting at every turn. Dark, brooding film.

I needed to rewatch this one to finally understand the hype around it. After having played a few video games taking place in a cyberpunk world and the rising of AI nowadays I finally see it totally nails the current zeitgeist. Combined with the whole futuristic visuals and soundtrack it is a great watch.

Exceptional exploration of the meaning of sentience, humanity and morality - with visuals so stunning that each frame is like a carefully constructed still. It just doesn't get better than this in any genre, never mind speculative science fiction.

The film is filled with rich and captivating visuals, and has multiple layers of meanings. Blade Runner's victory lies in its ambiguity to allow the audience to come up with their own theories and conclusions, sparking discussions about these complex themes that remain relevant even today.

"All those moments will be lost in time (unlike this movie which makes this world a better place to live). Time to die."

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

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.

Rutger Hauer's "tears in the rain" monologue is just about the greatest science-fiction monologue to ever exist.

Projected Figures

Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), the ‘blade runner’ assigned to hunt them down, is a noirish antihero – really little more than a slave catcher and cold-blooded assassin – with his own humanity being repeatedly called into question.
