Goatdog's Movies (Michael W. Phillips, Jr.)
These replicants want what any human being wants—life. In many ways, they are more human than some of the humans in the film. Hauer does the best work of his career as the lead replicant. The dark, dreamy cityscapes created for the film are ...read the complete Blade Runner movie review at Goatdog's Movies (Michael W. Phillips, Jr.)

filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)
A rare masterpiece in both the sci-fi and film noir genres. Blade Runner makes you think, makes you question reality, and makes you return to watch it again and again. I own both the VHS and the DVD and have seen the movie a dozen times. It gets ...read the complete Blade Runner movie review at filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)

Dragan Antulov
The movie wasn't just the end of an era for me personally, it was also the end of an era in history of contemporary science fiction cinema. It was based on the novel DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEPS? by Philip K. Dick, the science fiction writer who ...read the complete Blade Runner movie review at Dragan Antulov
The Sci-Fi Movie Page
As a 15-year old watching Blade Runner when it came out back in 1982, I knew somehow that this movie was important. It wasn't until the 1990s that anybody knew how important it was. Not merely was it the most influential science fiction movie made in the ...read the complete Blade Runner movie review at The Sci-Fi Movie Page
Looking Closer (Jeffrey Overstreet)
The most intelligent and terrifying vision of the future ever conceived for the screen, "Blade Runner" is based on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the Philip K. Dick novel about the essence of what it is to be human, and the urge to ...read the complete Blade Runner movie review at Looking Closer (Jeffrey Overstreet)
Movie Reviews UK
A genre defining film, Blade Runner attaches a compelling, strangely humanistic detective story to its deeply dysphoric outlook for civilisation. In the year 2019 humanity has expanded far beyond the Earth, engaged in the eternal quest for new frontiers. ...read the complete Blade Runner movie review at Movie Reviews UK

One of the most visually influential science fiction films ever made, BLADE RUNNER has a history as labyrinthine as any of its futuristic film noir sets. A fascinatingly contemplative detective story about a world-weary android-killer and his ...read the complete Blade Runner movie review at TV Guide Entertainment Network, Movie Guide
Ted Prigge
The "Blade Runner" of the title is Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford, around the time he had just gotten big with "Star Wars" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark"), a retired Blade Runner in L.A. 2019. He is basically your typical Phillip Marloe/Sam Spade/John Shaft ...read the complete Blade Runner movie review at Ted Prigge

Exploded Goat (Joe Cormack)
Ridley Scott, the "art" director, brings a layered, retrofitted air, but it's too passive. It lacks pep: Quiet direction and narcose editing make for an inconsequential film. We're bound to the gaze of a passerby; too much do we feel the alienation and ...read the complete Blade Runner movie review at Exploded Goat (Joe Cormack)

How do we know that we are human and, if we are human, what does it mean to be human? These two philosophical inquiries are explored in great depth in Ridley Scott’s film “Blade Runner”, and of course the text of Philip K. Dick’s wonderful novel ...read the complete Blade Runner movie review at CandidCritic.com

Earth is a very difficult place for humans. It is very under-populated, with many homes and apartment buildings empty or with only a few inhabitants.
The space colonies make extensive use of advanced androids ["replicants"] in households and factories. ...read the complete Blade Runner movie review at Caroline Nachman
