- Synopsis:
Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) prowls the steel-and-microchip jungle of 21st century Los Angeles. He's a "Blade Runner" stalking genetically made criminal replicants. His assignment: kill them. Their crime: wanting to be human. A visual stunner, remastered for improved home presentation, director Ridley Scott's vision of this sci-fi cinema classic intriguingly differs from what 1982 moviegoers saw. This version omits Deckard's voiceover narration, develops in greater detail the romance between Deckard and Rachael (Sean Young) and removes the "uplifting" finale. Most intriguing of all is a newly included unicorn vision that suggests Deckard may be a humanoid. The result is a heightened emotional impact a great film made greater. - Actors:

Superb sci-fi film - Blade Runner review by RP
After 'Alien' (1979), director Ridley Scott went on to make (among many other superb films) 'Blade Runner' (1982) and the less-appreciated 'Black Rain' (1989). Each of these films features similar stylish dark and brooding visual surroundings. 'Blade Runner' immerses the viewer in an intense, claustrophobic atmosphere of tension, unease and menace which never lets up until the very end. The film will repay several viewings to understand the full and complex story, which goes something like this: in the future (well, the film says 2019...) it is possible to manufacture androids almost indistinguishable from humans. Banned on Earth, such androids (Replicants) are hunted down by agents known as Blade Runners. A group of six is loose, and it falls to Harrison Ford to track them down – which he does, falling for one of their kind in the process. A superb sci-fi film, highly recommended – 5/5 stars.

Good Candidate for the Best Sci-fi. - Blade Runner review by Steve Mason
Ridley Scott's intelligent fusion of Philip K Dick and Metropolis is an all round triumph, visually, emotionally and intellectually. The sets and models are marvellous. But, as well as the superb visuals, there is a very moving human story.

Classic sci-fi - Blade Runner review by JD
I suspect there will be 3 main groups of people interested in this film, sci-fi fanatics (know the plot seen the other versions), those who know blade runner is a classic and wanted to see what the fuss was about, and those who saw it was highly rated and thought it looked good. I am in the 2nd group and having read the other reviews would agree that it is a visual feast especially given its 1982 vintage. This justifies its place in the should see category. I was not blown away with the acting and didn't get drawn into the characters but as a ground breaking sci-fi it is up there with Alien.
