Welcome to our first-time reaction to the Blade Runner (1982) movie. This film takes us through a journey into the dystopian future. Directed by the super talented Ridley Scott, this film did not disappoint. Considered a sci-fi masterpiece we can see just how much this movie alone has influenced the genre.
"Blade Runner" is a cyberpunk classic set in a future Los Angeles where Rick Deckard, played by Harrison Ford, is tasked with hunting down bioengineered beings known as replicants. The film is filled with thought-provoking themes and visually stunning cinematography that makes this such an incredible experience especially if you enjoy films having a certain amount of atmosphere.
We hope you enjoy our reactions, commentary and discussions as we delve into the film's impact on the genre, and the profound questions it poses about humanity and what it means to be a human and artificial intelligence.
With some great performances by Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young and the fantastic score composed by Vangelis this movie has plenty to give!
So sit back and relax as we immerse ourselves into the cyber-punky world of Blade Runner.

Thank you guys for checking this one out with us! We hope you enjoy. What were your thoughts the first time you watched this?

@ExUSSailor

An absolute cyberpunk, neo-noir MASTERPIECE! Rutger Hauer's "Tears in the rain" speech is some of the best movie dialogue EVER.

@batmanvsjoker7725

What makes the "Like tears in rain" speech even better is that the actor, Rutger Hauer (may he rest in peace), made that up on the spot.

@OroborusFMA

People gloss over or miss the critique of capitalism in this film. "More human than human is our motto the Tyrell Corporation." He says it so fast it's easy to miss. And then when Roy says ". . . that's what it is to be a slave." It's a system of manufactured beings who are organic, not "robots". They are genetically engineered. Roy chose to spare him because at the end of his time because he loved life so much he didn't want to see even his enemy die (the original narration says this, but they removed the narration for this version).

It's a good thing that you didn't watch Blade Runner 2049 before this one! The sequel is pretty much a continuation of this film! I liked it a lot...Ryan Gosling is in that one.

roy in his last moments realized the value of life and didnt want his last action to be one of hate but one of mercy.

This movie taught me the importance of repeated viewings back in the day. As a kid, the first time I watched it I fell asleep and thought it was boring. As a teen I gave it another chance and thought "it's not as bad as I remembered" and ever since, every time I watch it again it is better than the previous time.

When Rachel says "I can't rely on my..." she's referring to her memories of intimate sexual and romantic interactions. That's why she's so frightened and confused -- she's feeling this onrush of new emotions and physical sensations for the first time despite whatever false memories she may have . As written, Deckard is trying to guide her through this new experience, but the general consensus seems to be that Ridley Scott handled it poorly. (Even during filming some on set referred to this scene as "the rape in the hallway.") As for Deckard not allowing Rachel to leave in the first place, we must consider the fact that once she steps foot out of his apartment she is a runaway replicant with a target on her back.

@CactusJackSlade

Rutger Hauer's Tears in rain was and always will be one of the most profound scii monologues ever. He actually altered the dialogue from what was originally written, and for the better. RIP Rutger

@hughblanc2105

Deckard is a man with no passion for life, while Roy is a replicant passionate to live - this is their thematic parallel to me. So much going on in this movie though - absolutely best viewed as 'Art House' - my absolute favourite. Cheers for the Great Reaction.

@Hopehubris1492

You guys are just terrific reactors. Your reaction to finding out Rachel doesn’t know she’s a replicant was so earnest and descriptive of how we all felt about the possibilities being explored in this piece the first time we saw it, it was just great. There’s controversy over whether or not Deckard is human, because Ridley Scott wanted it that way. The author of the source material, Phillip K Dick, makes it clear in interviews that Deckard is a human struggling with a moral dilemma as he begins to see the replicants he’s retiring as people, but the question in the movie is intriguing. Great job as always. Keep them coming!

@StarShipGray

I genuinely weep for Roy every time I watch this film. He wasn’t born a monster. He was made a monster through his short lifetime of slavery and abuse, and all he wanted was a chance at a life of his own with the people he cared about like any of us.

@kellypedersen6590

The soundtrack by Vangelis is absolutely amazing- the previous year, he gained a lot of praise for his soundtrack work for "Chariots Of Fire".

@djdoug242

Excellent reaction. I'm sure others have mentioned it, but the unicorn serves two purposes: either how unique Rachel is (being the only replicant implanted with memories, so indistinguishable from a human) or that Deckard himself might be a replicant (as his vision/dream of a unicorn could be known only to himself - unless it was implanted and Gaff knows - which casts the entire film differently if you watch it with that idea in mind and assume Bryant and Gaff know this).

@batmanvsjoker7725

This is one of those movies where you'll definitely have to circle back to appreciate it.

@tonym362

Harrison is great in this film, but Rutger Hauer (RIP) is fantastic. So glad you reacted to this. Byron James (RIP) as Leon, Joe Turkel,(RIP) as Tyrel, who was also the bartender in The Shinning.

The score for this film is what sticks with you forever. Took until 1994 to finally release a half baked version, while fans have put together more than 7 versions. Some complete.
