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.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Sep 14, 2024

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).

| Original Score: 4/4 | Aug 20, 2024

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

| Jan 12, 2024

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.

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

| Jul 18, 2023

It’s 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 (whether release date 1982 or whenever you manage to see it) to there (Scott’s 2019).

A masterpiece.

Philip K. Dicks frequent exploration of perceived realities that begin to breakdown upon inspection, and thus define the fragile, shattered nature of existence and humanity, is brought to awe-inspiring life through Blade Runner.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Mar 21, 2022

A disjointed, implausible sci-film so trapped in photographic maneuvers that it's lifeless.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 11, 2021

One of the more imaginative and less realized movies of this or any year. Scott directs as if he were a doctor about to deliver some giant conception, and never once notices that this mountain of a movie is giving birth to little more than a mouse.

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 9, 2021

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.

If a machine thinks independently, feels, and even loves, is it alive? How do we decide who/what deserves a chance at life and freedom? Blade Runner doesn't answer those questions...but it does make you think.

Without a doubt a seminal film for the science fiction genre. Ahead of its time, Ridley Scott gave us a visually stunning, mind-bending and soul-searching masterpiece. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Dec 3, 2020

Everything, from the punkish clothing to the compact gadgetry, comments wittily on the present while also establishing a coherent future.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 4, 2020

The set designs and overall look of the film are nothing short of inspired.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Aug 31, 2020

This is one of the great visions ever put on screen, a massive and formative illustration of world building.

| Jul 16, 2020

The score by Vangelis amplifies the emotion of every scene seamlessly, and enough can't be said about the production design by Lawrence G. Paull and visual effects by Douglas Trumbull.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Apr 6, 2020

Visual flair, philosophical substance, and kick-ass action can come together to make an entertaining and artistically compelling movie. Blade Runner proved that.

| Feb 28, 2020

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.
