I love this movie so much

Thanks for the memories!

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I basically just made an account so I can review this: OK I'm willing to accept that maybe back in the day it was an OK movie, but if somebody would recommend me this as a good sci-fi cyberpunk (also it apperently tries to be a Noir?) movie today, I would have to punch him in a face. I'm sorry, the characters lacks... well characters. Over 50% of a time you are watching a silent movie and when they speak the sound is so badly captured I have to rewind just to check what they said. (not all the time I admit but it's still bad) Come to think of even camera job is sometimes sloppy and the pacing is sluggish at best (I'm watching a dude climbing stairs for a two minute realizing that if somebody cut that out, no one would miss a thing, but that's just nitpicking) The onl reason why I didn't gave it a 1 star is that Rutger Hauer is actually trying his best to do with the little he was given and he was the only thing I enjoyed in this movie and he was barely in it. Also that in the end it turns out that he was actually kinda the good guy and Harrison Ford's character the bad guy. But reading all the nonsense about the philosophical questions it raised about "being human" seems pretty far-fetched. The only question it raised in my mind is: "Why do people like this movie?" But for those who thinks that way, at least you can enjoy telling yourself how primitive I am for not "getting it". ;)

It wasn't until my teens that I watched this film. It was a little hard to follow but I got into it and it made me interested in cyberpunk. That's a brand of science-fiction that deals with urban environments and cybernetics and computer technology. Think TV shows like Batman Beyond and games like Deus Ex. But this could very well be the precursor to all those different cyberpunk sagas. Here is the story of a gang of near-human androids known as Replicants who want to live comfortable lives. But not if the LAPD has anything to say about it. Harrison Ford plays a police detective whose job it is to eliminate these near-humans. Can he do it? Will the Replicants claim victory? Is he destined for a quick funeral? You'll have to watch and find out.

"Blade Runner" is an innovator of the Sci-Fi genre. The artisty and world-building completely changed the game. And the only way to watch it is by seeing the "Final Cut."-Analysis of Notable Work- *Writing/Directing: The world of Blade Runner is one that feels authentic and rich. While the story may have a few minor hiccups, these can be forgiven because of the brilliance of the universe that is the world of Blade Runner. A young Ridley Scott reveals his genius in the way he brought Blade Runner to screen. The film is a slow drama/noir with incredible beauty in bleakness. It is a film in which not much happens but that is what makes it feel so effective. The reality of the world comes to the forefront through the lack of major events. *Cinematography/Editing: The visuals are a marvel to behold. The brooding atmosphere of Blade Runner is one that is not easy to forget. Jordan Cronenweth captures the beauty and horror of Blade Runner in masterful fashion. His work is an integral part of the world building. The editing is the definition of Sci-Fi as it is known today. The cutaways to beautiful yet bleak city-scapes is one that feels incredibly Sci-Fi at its core. Seeing the world around Deckard is what helps to make the world feel so real. *Dialogue/Acting: The exchanges between characters is brilliant and authentic. It doesn't feel forced or unneeded. It is just enough and nothing more. The performances are incredible for the most part. Rutger Hauer feels a bit over-the-top early on in the film, but his final scene is one of the greatest in film history. Harrison Ford delivers one of the best performances of his career. Sean Young is mesmerizing in her role as Rachael. Joe Turkel perfectly delivers in his role as the cruel mastermind of the Tyrell Corporation, Dr. Eldon Tyrell. *Music/Sound Design: Once again, the world of Blade Runner feels so complete. It just would not be the same if it did not have the music score it has. It is melancholy and gorgeous. Instantly recognizable, it is one of the most iconic and grand film scores in any Sci-Fi film. The sound design is just as magnificent. From the firing of the handguns each Blade Runner has to the soft falling of the rain, it is all breathtaking. *Production Design/Special Effects: The set design and costume choices are futuristic, yet feel like they belong in the world we live in. It does not fall into the trap of being too futuristic that they become corny or ridiculous. The props are also incredibly detailed and seem real. The special effects are beyond impressive. They make the film seem as if it is from many years later than it really was released. Many of the effects still hold up today, and I suspect they will hold up for many years to come.*Conclusion: "Blade Runner" is a truly unforgettable film that has forever changed the Sci-Fi genre. It will always be remembered as a true pioneer and one of the most influential films ever put to screen.

Funny but I remember this movie much more fondly from my teenage years. But I guess the memory data has been corrupted throughout the years.While the setting and atmosphere was nothing short of spectacular in Ridley's "Blade Runner" from 1982, then the movie was just incredibly slow in progressing anywhere. And once it actually kicked into high speed, it ended within 10 minutes!The acting was quite good and they did indeed have a very good ensemble of acting performers on the cast list. Harrison Ford, of course, carried the movie phenomenally. And he was joined nicely on the screen by the likes of Rutger Hauer, Daryl Hannah, M. Emmet Walsh and Edward James Olmos.The special effects in "Blade Runner" were good, especially when taking into consideration the age of the movie. And most of the effects actually still are passable by today's standards."Blade Runner" is an interesting enough movie if you enjoy movies set in a dystopian future.
