> I just don't get the hype. IMO, much depends on when you were born. When it came out, Blade Runner was truly something else and rode in on multiple deep cultural vibes of that era (e.g. Japan, Vangelis's synth music, etc...). Second, the book it was based on (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Androids_Dream_of_Electric_Sheep%3F https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Androids_Dream_of_Electric_...) was also quite unique in the SF genre of that era, as was the author (Phil K Dick). The thing is : on top of that, amazingly enough, the visuals / art direction has aged rather well, going from what was a futuristic vibe at the time to something that now looks steampunk-ish. I must confess to being boringly average when it comes the Blade Runner: I do love the movie, and it is certainly in my top ten sci-fi movies list.
