Adapted from Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the film is set in a dystopian Los Angeles in 2019 where synthetic humans known as Replicants are bioengineered by the powerful Tyrell Corporation to work essentially as slaves on off-world colonies. When a fugitive group of replicants led by Roy Batty escape back to Earth, burnt-out police officer and "Blade Runner" (a special force assigned to terminate Replicants) Rick Deckard reluctantly agrees to hunt them down. During his investigations, Deckard meets Rachael, an advanced replicant who causes him to question the morality of his work.
A towering achievement in visual effects, mood, and style, Blade Runner left an immense influence on science-fiction cinema that lasts to this day.
"This is a seminal film, building on older classics like Metropolis or Things to Come, but establishing a pervasive view of the future that has influenced science fiction films ever since." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"This definitive print should be the last little push that "Blade Runner" needs to complete its 25-year journey from box office failure to cult favorite to full-blown classic." - Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
"The opportunity to see one of the milestone visual achievements in a big hall with a giant screen is not to be missed. And even if you saw Blade Runner in a theater in 1982, this will be an entirely new experience." - Jack Mathews, New York Daily News

“[Wells'] storytelling is as precise as it is piercing.” – Mark Kermode, Observer
“For all that Aftersun can be described as gentle, contemplative and even beautiful, it's also the kind of film that feels as if it's teetering on the edge of a cliff.” – Clarisse Loughrey, Independent
“This mesmeric debut will make you want to stay suspended in its sun-baked setting with its two captivating lead characters for far longer than the runtime. A triumph of new British filmmaking.” – Beth Webb, Empire Magazine

“You may start "The Eternal Daughter" expecting to be scared, but by the end you'll come out of it moved in ways you'd never expect.” - C. J. Prince, Edge Media Networn

“Beautifully constructed and painstakingly written, this is about as close to a perfect animated epic as you're likely to get.” – Melanie McFarland, Seattle Times
“This imaginative and intriguing Anime deserves all the plaudits heaped upon it.” – Mark Dinning, Empire Magazine
