There are reasons it was not initially successful and the original version with the voiceover certainly didn´t help. The pacing is a little slow, which really affects the middle stage of the film. The film also lacks action which would upset many sci fi fans who were expecting to see Harrison Ford star in a film that would basically be Han Solo in a futuristic setting. Blade Runner also improves with addtional viewings. You stop looking for action and start noticing how intriguing the plot is. Rutger Hauer give a somewhat over the top performance but is still good and while Ford doesn´t do a great job he still helps the film by making the main character someone easy to identify with. The effects are outstanding and hold up well to anything we see today. The effects help create a great mood for the film and many scientists believe this is what LA will really look like in the future. Blade Runner has a great plot, but there are a few plot holes and many flaws with the film. The climax is where Blade Runner is really well done and is atypical of most thrillers. I would consider Blade Runner as a great Sci Fi film but just a good overall film.. And summed up by saying Style Becomes Substance. Currently Blade Runner (Five-Disc Ultimate Collector´s Edition) has an overall rating of 8 over 10.
