What to Know

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. Sep 19, 2023 Full Review Scott Cain 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 Nov 9, 2021 Full Review 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. Nov 18, 2019 Full Review Clotilde Chinnici 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 Sep 14, 2024 Full Review Matt Brunson 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 Aug 20, 2024 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills One of the 1980s greatest sci-fi films—or greatest films, period. Jan 12, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Nicholas H If you're a Fan of Phillip K Dick, it's the perfect accompaniment to the book ,plus it's probably the best sci fi since Kubrick 2001 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review Tony B Really bad. Confusing. Slow. Boring, It came out when I was seven years old and for the last few decades, I tried to watch it 5-6 different times and could never get through it all. Acting in it is not particularly good either with the exception of Harrison Ford and Rutger.. The high score on here is mind-boggling. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review Ball&Roll B This is Ridley Scott's finest hour. This is a sci-fi noir masterpiece from the beginning to the end. It's not just the atmosphere. It's the excellent acting. It's the incredible soundtrack from the legendary Vangelis (how can you write a review and not mention this) and the plot. YES, the plot. It's unbelievable so many people (kids mostly) can't grasp what is goin on. This movie is 42 years old and we STILL ask each other if Harrison Ford was human or not, we still argue about so many things. This is not a movie you watch eating burgers, playing with your cellphone and talking to people. It needs your attention, it needs your sense of art, if you have one. This is a timeless masterpiece, this is food for thought even in 2025. What makes a human, what is a machine? Scott can't make a good historic movie, but when it comes to sci-fi, he is a grandmaster. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/19/25 Full Review Erik N One of the best movies, and probably the best sci-fi movie ever made. The visuals are stunning, and as they were created using photographic techniques, they appear more lifelike than the sterile CGI landscapes we see now. As for the rare, low scoring reviews here, they either betray a negative reaction to the dystopian future envisioned in Philip K. Dick's novel, or difficulty following the minimalist plot of a detective (a "Blade Runner") charged with tracking down and killing a group of escaped "replicant" slaves. Mercifully, the director (Ridley Scott) and script writers didn't dumb things down to appeal to the "Star Wars" conditioned audiences of the time, otherwise this film would probably never have been remembered. This is a hand made film created by a group of the most uniquely talented artists available who were allowed to develop a vision of Dick's story without too much interference from their financiers. It's the kind of thing that will probably never be seen again given the advent of AI, CGI, and oversight by corporate committee. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/18/25 Full Review Lenny C The story delves into the film noir genre with a hint of romance. The visuals are breathtaking and have stood the test of time. The standout feature of this film is the incredible set design and landscapes. Ridley Scott makes excellent use of colors, uniquely depicting the futuristic city of Los Angeles as both gloomy and sparkling by blending dark tones with touches of bright colors. Even though the world of Blade Runner has been an inspiration for many artists, the film is not perfect. It tries to mix the story of the hunt for the fugitive Replicants with a romantic arc between Deckard and a Replicant from Tyrell, which could have been wiped off the script for the better. Overall, the film features superb visuals and good performances, but also a terrible romantic arc and questionable character choices. Even though I think the film is very good, I wish the plot had been more polished.
