A classic detective story that inspired the look of other sci-fi movies and video games. Great soundtrack. The final cut is the best and only version to watch.

Blade Runner is a science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott, written by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples, and released in 1982. The film stars Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young and Edwars James Olmos. The film is adapted from the 1968 novel 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?' written by Philip K. Dick. The film follows Rick Deckard (Ford) as goes back to his old job, a replicant hunter. As a replicant hunter Deckard is forced to kill replicants, which are basically fake humans. Some aspects of the film that really stood out to me was the cinematography, lighting. I love the way certain scenes were shot and how the dark lighting really brought the dystopian world to life. The special effects were also really good in my opinion for a film in the early 80's. To me it looked more like an early 2000's film, and I say this in the best way possible. I also have to give credit to the production design who also brought the dystopian world to life with their incredible set designs. Personally I really enjoyed the film. It was a bit slow at times especially in the beginning but the story was worth it. I would rate it a 3.5-4/5 and would recommended it to other especially those who love sci-fi. I look forward to watching the rest of the franchise especially the 2017 film.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Observer (UK)

Ford, with his Star Wars cachet, was Blade Runner's top-line draw, but it's Hauer's movie all the way, his shimmering "replicant" providing the tonal touchstone for Ridley Scott's severally reworked masterpiece.

Rated: 5/5

This remains an astonishing achievement: a Dystopian sci-fi epic that is also one of the best film noirs of recent times.

Rated: 5/5

Times (UK)

"Blade Runner is a film set 40 years hence, made in the style of 40 years ago," Ridley Scott said of his celebrated science-fiction noir. Perhaps that other-worldly "retrofitted" look is why it seems ageless, despite being set in 2019.

Rated: 5/5

... an overwhelming, immersive experience, a total creation of a possible future so complete that you don’t need exposition to know how we got from here to there.

Fancher said Scott’s “imagination is like a f-ing virus, keeps growing and spreading and mutating. Ridley’s mind is almost too fast for his own good; very often, it pulled ahead of himself, at great speed... ideas were pouring out of him so fast.”

Rated: 10/10

Some of us saw it and loved it early. Some of us saw it later in life or in broken forms before coming to love or respect it.
