    About Blade Runner:
    Harrison Ford stars in this fascinating, dark vision of the near future as a policeman who tracks engineered humans--a Blade Runner. In the year 2019, the police department forces Rick Deckard (Ford) out of retirement to hunt four genetically engineered humans who have come to earth. Designed to do difficult, hazardous work, the manufactured humans are stronger, faster and smarter than non engineered humans. They feel no pain or remorse; they are almost indistinguishable from other humans ... and they are killing people. Now Deckard must stop them before they kill again.

    Interesting how Harrison Ford being actually frustrated and fed-up with waiting around to actually film, sitting in his trailer most of the time, probably helped his performance a lot, because his character was frustrated and fed-up with having to be a blade runner.

    Harrison Ford had so many problems with the lack of direction from Scott, and the funny thing is that it´s probably Ford´s best acting ever.

      Blade Runner has been one of my two all-time favourite movies since its release in 1982. As you can imagine therefore, I approached Blade Runner 2049 with a considerable degree of trepidation and scepticism.
      My opinion? It'll take at least another couple of decades and repeated viewings for me to confirm or retreat from this view, as one sign of a true classic is its ability to withstand the test of time, but it's possible - just possible - that 2049 is even better than the original.

      I was a teenager when this movie came out and like a lot of contemporary people who were Star Wars fans we were really interested in seeing where Harrison Ford's career was going. Well.....the only venue to see this where I lived was a drive in theater and so off we went, a double feature #2 after Sharkey's Machine. The 1st film ends and our excitement is there. And then. It started to rain. There we sat, in a car with a cruddy drive in speaker in the rain, hoping that the rain will let up. Sometimes it does but mostly a steady drizzle through the movie. The car windows fog up and we're rolling the windows down and sticking our heads out to see what's happening. By the end of the movie I could barely tell you what happened or what the story was because we couldn't see half of it. Later I re-watched it when it came out on VHS and really had a chuckle that my first time watching it was in a car in the rain.

    Today of course, I suspect that Ridley is allowed to go over budget and schedule and all he gets is a little push back....or not. This is a masterpiece. One of Ford's best performances and IMO, Rutger Hauer should have won ALL the awards. Hannah's performance was great with Sanderson, fantastic chemistry and he just sends it ! A very nuanced performance. The whole thing was fantastic and I saw it in the theaters, dozens of times since. I was stunned when critics hated it and it didn't do well until it turned into a cult classic.

I was probably 10 so in retrospect it was a bit ‘adult’ however I was blown away by it - we all were.

In contrast, the great Rutger Hauer (RIP) always loved this movie, and claimed it was one of his favorites.

    Ridley Scott's masterpiece I think!
    Bladerunner is such an iconic, atmospheric movie, full of nuance and subtleties, with a great cast who perfectly fit their roles.
    It may take more than one viewing to GET this movie, but once you get it, everything falls into place. You realise exactly what Ridley was trying to portray. And each time you watch it, you may discover new small details that weren't apparent previously.
    The relationship between Deckard and Rachel makes you realise the gravity of what Deckard was trying to reconcile in his mind, how CAN a human being fall in love with what is effectively, a machine? It gives the story a somewhat perverted, or at least WARPED plot twist.
    Add all this to the feel of a dystopian future world, set to the WONDERFUL Vangelis score. And the fact that almost all the scenes were filmed after sunset, in the rain and smoke, and you realise that there is nothing that comes close to what this movie evokes in the sub conscious of the viewer.
    You know its a movie, but it somehow feels so real, as if you are living in that world. And all of the characters are completely plausible.
    My favourite movie without a doubt. I have watched this movie more than any other, and it never fails to fascinate me, it is just magical!

    I was lucky enough to see the 'final cut' of the film in the BFI Southbank cinema around 2017 - my daughter, who was working for BFI at the time came with me. She pointed out that the film is almost timeless - almost all the costumes, hair styles, etc, belonged to no particular era. The only scene which gave away its age was the clunky computer equipment used when Deckard talked to Rachel. Extraordinary that no one in those times saw the potential of sleek development - it was the most prophetic vision of Skype imaginable.

    It seems safe to say that Blade Runner effectively created archetypes that won’t diminish with time, but only seem to grow. My dad worked on it and had some stories, but seeing these people’s stories and the details about what went into it helped me understand how special it was in physical terms, to create such a dreamscape of a world, which seems to persist as an archetype in itself. Maybe it’s more a nightmare than dream, but psychically so alive and very real, either way.

    When this movie hit the theaters, I was in a sad state. My fiance' three states away, visiting family. I was alone and depressed. To make matters worse, it was an awful overcast, grey, rainy day. I thought hey, I'll just go to this new sci-fi movie, get out of the rain, and cheer myself up. Then the film starts and it's raining the ENTIRE time, and all of my favorite characters, the Replicants, including Pris, got killed. The movie ends, I'm walking out of the theater, and it's still raining in real life, but now it's coal black outside. I love it now, but for years, I thought of Blade Runner as the best movie I ever hated.
