For me it it is the best sci -fi film ever , by the greatest sci-fi writer.
However my daughter's sixth form media class watched Blade Runner .
She said not one of the group liked it ... unbelievable.
I don't think they can handle anything with more depth than Pirates OF The Caribbean .

A review :
This is a film that is so deep, rich, and multi-layered, it may require more than one viewing to fully absorb the brilliance of what you've just seen. At first glance, it can be a bit slow. It's told in a classic film noir fashion, so this is to be expected. Director Ridley Scott seems to want to savor every shot, and an astute audience will be able to sense this.
Now, I say the film is told in a classic Noir style, but this can be misleading. There is no Humphrey Bogart in Blade Runner, snapping off brilliant one-liners once a second. Only hopeless people, in many ways victims of the merciless world of which they are all a part. Deckard is a typically downbeat protagonist, a hard-boiled cynical leading man with a weakness for heavy drinking. The plot is a mystery in name only, as the audience is allowed to know what Roy Batty, Pris and**are all up to before Deckard ever finds out. This only lends to the dread and inevitability of the film, lending further to its pervasive gloom. There is no final scene at the end where the bold detective puts all the pieces together and says "Ah-Ha!". Instead, we find Rick Deckard questioning his own existence and drinking away his constant doubts, all the while embroiled in a romantic relationship with someone he's sworn to kill.
Blade Runner requires audience participation, particularly in the Director's Cut, which is entirely devoid of some rather necessary exposition provided by the Original Cut's much-maligned voice-over. Certain facts will not be clear even at the end of the film, requiring personal interpretation in order to be appreciated fully. Other facts will be given away in much more subtle ways than in most modern cinema, such as through visual cues and tenuous dialogue.
Finally, visually, this movie is quite simply a science fiction triumph. It looks better than modern computer effects in every way that counts. Superimposed special effect objects don't give off that unnatural, clearly computer-generated "Lord of the Rings" sheen common in today's effects-driven blockbusters. This, of course, is because Blade Runner - while a gorgeous movie - is not effects driven in the least. Rather, it is a visually driven story that doesn't rely on special effects. This is an important distinction to make in today's Hollywood.
"Touch of Evil" really wasn't the last of the Great Film Noirs!

the light that shines twice as bright lives half as long.
Darly Hannah broke her elbow filiming one scene, and it was kept in the film
It's the scene where she runs round a corner in the rain and if u look closely she hits her elbow on the side of a taxi before the frame changes
How nerdy is that! Film buffs might like to know that though...

Harrison Ford was a good looking mother when he was young, i bet he has had a few...
not really as good as people were telling me.......
so far.
so far.
One of the finest films ever made. Though none of them knew it at the time. Sadly our dystopia will be worse.
When I see all those windows in a futuristic LA, I wonder at all the vigorous, illicit sex going on behind them. But then again, I am an enormous pervert.

Peep show would be over by now :D
I know this is where the film starts, i can feel it.....

stupid question maybe but here goes....
i saw this advertised as the directors cut so when the film was originally released was there a different ending or big plot differences?

At least 2 earlier versions. In the original they had the voice-over as they figured the audience wouldn't understand. Judging by the above, they were right.
I have a vague feeling the original not-unhappy ending (aircraft flight) was nicked from The Shining.
Forgot about the narration version, bodil. All coming flooding back now.
cheers. it doenst seem too complicated to me just now but maybe im missing something.
We can't tell you as it would spoil the ending. Think implanted memories. For someone.....
this film has aged well unlike other old science fiction films. Still feels modern.
On yeah, all the big brand computer names advertised in the film went burst.
Daryl Hannah's thighs. A place to die - a couple of decades ago. Less so now.
Just seen killing of Tyrell.....much nastier than original.....
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser Gate......All those moments will be lost in time.... like tears in rain......Time to die.

Me too...

Not as good as some people told, a good film but not a classic.
Maybe watching in the 80's would had made me view differently.

Anyone who doesn't think this is a great film has the soul of a Labour Party activist.
If you were 15 and on acid when seeing it for the first time, in the cinema in 1982, it would be with you for ever. Same applies to Apocalypse now.
It's aged very well. And so has Apocalypse Now. I did watch the latter from the front of the Leicester Square when it first came out - man, that was good. And The End is still timeless.
And you may very well be Labour Party activists without being aware of it.

I **g hate labour, they dont have a clue about basic maths.
