I like Blade Runner but I don't think it has aged particularly well, it was very much a product of its time even though ironically enough at the time it was very much unique. What made this really clear to me was the sequel which I think was way too literal about the aesthetics. Flying cars and CEOs living in ziggurats and CCCP banners made the new movie almost seem like a caricature. It's retrofuturism, like Back to the Future almost rather than science fiction. And that has somehow impacted my experience of the original now too which seems more dated to me now. What does stand the test of time though is Rutger Hauer's performance and the humanism that he has given his character, something that was absent in the sequel.
