Give me Carpenter' "The Thing" any day from the same year and it kicks it's ass on every viewing. I saw this as a kid in the theaters when it came out and a few times on VHS and DVD since then over the years and I've tried and treid to see what it is about the movie that gets everybody so jazzed but fail to put my finger on it. I just get bored with it every time and think it's a major snoozefest.
Anybody else out agree ?

But you are comparing sci-fi horror with sci-fi drama. It's apples to oranges really. What there is to appreciate about Blade Runner is how greatly Ridley Scott visualized a possible future and he did it with grit and not the usual clean and sterile route so overly used in sci-fi flicks. Sure the pacing might be slow but there are a ton of subtle nuances that make the world believable making it easy to get absorbed in to the fiction. I felt the movie was really ahead of it's time due to what audiences expected out of sci-fi at that time (post Star Wars). Fast action, explosions, creatures/aliens, crazy physics defying worlds and fantastical technology. Blade Runner is a crime drama set in an amazing realized future (more probable than most other futures depicted even in more modern hollywood movies, imo).
If it's not your cup of tea that cool. Different strokes and all that jazz
