Blade Runner treats "worldbuilding" the way a toddler treats a fruit bowl — enthusiastically, briefly, then forgotten.

I've seen screen savers with more depth and fewer unnecessary lens flares than Blade Runner.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Blade Runner actually is?
Director clearly thought Blade Runner was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Blade Runner?
Honestly, Blade Runner would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Hot Take: Blade Runner's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Just got out of Blade Runner and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Blade Runner?
Everyone praising the Blade Runner performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
