I won't add too much except to say that this is probably the best sci-fi movie ever produced, and the one that all (non space opera) future sci-fi flicks should be compared to. It had action, it had 'deep thoughts', it had enough atmosphere to support a planet. This movie has still, decades later, some of the best set, character, and visual design ever committed to film. Everything from guns, to flying cars, to futuristic buildings, to dystopian slums, to photograph enhancing computer interfaces, is perfectly and ideally presented. What's amazing to me is that this movie has yet to hit its due date visuals wise, though I may be biased. I can watch blade runner and not think "oh those effects look so cheap now" unlike nearly any genre exercise from that era (star wars and alien, I'm looking at you). This is both rutger hauer's and harrison ford's best work ever (and larry's brother darryl or whatever his name was). In a way it's disappointing that both of them ended up being disappointing afterward (harrison ford has been pretty safe and undramatic since then and well, rutger hauer had that blind guy movie). The rooftop scene can literally still give me chills. The problem is, don't go in expecting a sci-fi action blockbuster of the contemporary mold. I've had people express disappointment upon first viewing this film because it had been built up so much as a modern triumph of film-making blah blah blah. It's not just about the shooting and naked snake ladies, you gotta think too. 5 golden replicant babies
