Matt McAllister, Editor of Totalscifionline.com said:
“It’s odd to think that Blade Runner was not a critical or commercial success on its initial release in 1982. Some critics dismissed it as a case of style over substance. Yet while the depiction of a neon-lit future LA is still breathtaking, Ridley Scott’s film is backed up a real sense of sadness, fear and longing. It also contains career-best performances from Harrison Ford as Deckard and Rutger Hauer as the charming, feral Roy Batty, and terrific supporting performances from the likes of Daryl Hannah and Sean Young. However many times you’ve seen Blade Runner before, it retains its awe-inspiring power. A sci-fi masterpiece.”
