Consensus: Misunderstood when it first hit theaters, the influence of Ridley Scott's mysterious, noir-influenced Blade Runner has deepened with time. A visually remarkable, achingly human sci-fi masterpiece.

Genre: Science-Fiction/Fantasy
Synopsis: Director Ridley Scott's hauntingly prescient vision of the not-too-distant future stars Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard, a retired police assassin, or "blade runner." The Los Angeles of 2019 is a dark, polluted, overcrowded dystopia... [More]

Reviews for Blade Runner
From the opening shot of a Los Angeles cityscape at night in the year 2019, it is clear that Scott has conjured up something special.

Top Critic Though it's a triumph of visual futurism and an ornament to sci-fi cinema as well as to cinema in general, I resist it on some level.

This definitive print should be the last little push that "Blade Runner" needs to complete its 25-year journey from box office failure to cult favorite to full-blown classic.

This is a movie that absolutely demands to be seen and heard on the big screen.

These days, it's almost impossible to find a gritty science fiction motion picture that doesn't owe at least a small debt to Blade Runner's visual style.

A stylistically dazzling film noir set in November 2019 in a brilliantly imagined Los Angeles marked by both technological wonders and horrendous squalor.

Top Critic One of the most visually influential science fiction films ever made.

Top Critic The most remarkably and densely imagined and visualized SF film since 2001: A Space Odyssey, a hauntingly erotic meditation on the difference between the human and the nonhuman.
