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.

A dazzling cult classic that oozes ambience. Go to Full Review
Pauline Kael The New Yorker Sep 19, 2023
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. Go to Full Review

3/5
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. Go to Full Review
Michael Walsh The Province (Vancouver) Apr 14, 2026
Into this superficially simple detective drama, Scott has built a complex set of moral questions. Visually stunning, his Blade Runner offers us an otherworldly nightmare. Go to Full Review
Clotilde Chinnici Loud and Clear Reviews Sep 14, 2024
4.5/5
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. Go to Full Review

4/4
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). Go to Full Review

Moody C @MoodyC 1 day ago Watching this repeatedly, I feel plot gets simpler each time. I remembered when I saw it for 1st time, I thought plot was a bit complicated for some reason. This is still a masterpiece of which its sequel is a far cry from it. I saw double feature of both movies at an anniversary showing & sequel was so slow & boring. Obviously sequel will have latest in CG & you wud think it blows away those FX from original made in 1982 but original movie actually looks better! See more diogo13 T @Tua_mera 3 days ago Um marco estético incontornável da ficção científica que continua a impressionar pelo seu design de produção e atmosfera noir melancólica. Contudo, por trás da sua filosofia fascinante sobre a humanidade e dos visuais revolucionários, esconde-se um ritmo penosamente lento. Não foi para mim este filme.
