The Kernel take
Universal acclaim at 84 Metascore on a $28M budget that's recouped nearly 1.5x its cost so far—a rare vindication of mid-budget sci-fi ambition in 1982, even if theatrical legs remain to be seen.

Blade Runner (84) sits well above Ridley Scott's own 61.4-point average across 23 other scored films—a career peak for the director, though it trails his best-reviewed work, Alien (89).
Lead track record: Harrison Ford
Blade Runner (84) sits well above Harrison Ford's own 61.4-point average across 29 other scored films—one of his best-reviewed roles to date, though it falls short of his apex with Apocalypse Now (94).
