Stephen Metcalf’s and I are in general agreement, though not in the particulars that Blade Runner is a  flawed movie, Blade Runner: The Complete Ultimate Visionary Final Cut Collector’s Edition Is Here! 

But for all of its supposed transmutations along the way to this, “The Final Cut,” it is still vulnerable to the same criticisms originally applied to it. The movie is a transfixing multisensory turn-on from beginning to end. But because its story is underplotted and its characters almost totally opaque, the weight of the film falls to its sumptuous visual palette—its abiding strength—and to its quasi-Nietzschean theology—its abiding weakness. A movie that is about what it’s like to be mortal should not include the line “What is it like to be mortal?”

…Pontifical dialogue aside, Blade Runner remains what is always was, an extraordinary and enduring work of Pop Art, one that calls forth the language of greatness in that poignant way many beautiful but flawed works do.

It’s one of those movies that defies any logic of esthetics. It it reels along between the beautiful and gritty not more then a few minutes go by that it doesn’t shove your face into some of the most moronic dialogue ever put on screen. Yet it pulls me in. I hate the replicates, I feel sorry for the replicates and Decker. Despite the thick coat of interstellar soap opera you find yourself investing in the outcome. It many ways it succeeds as Pop Art screen comic in ways that some of the recent comic book adaptations have failed.
