So many modern sci-fi movies owe their look partially to this movie, it still holds up incredibly well. Gorgeous cinematography and worldbuilding, it’s a true piece of art. The score is also incredible. I typically don’t listen to a lot of film scores because they’re often written specifically with the visuals of the film in mind, however this score is so atmospheric, detailed and jazzy that it works without the context of the film. The story is good, but I think that Blade Runner 2049 showed that you could delve into these concepts a little deeper on an emotional and intellectual level. Not that it’s surface level, it certainly isn’t, but I think it could’ve filled its runtime more interestingly when you have a scene where Harrison Ford talks to his television for 3 minutes. Ford’s performance is excellent, I think they found the right balance where you feel invested in his character while maintaining some of the secrecy that he’s shrouded in. All of the performances are excellent, in fact. It’s just the pacing and lack of more depth that keeps me from calling it a masterpiece.
