Thanks for your points and I take on your points of view with appreciation of a good debate. You are right, it could be a realistic future, but this is not the only reason I do not like it. The acting on the part of Sean Young and Harrison is wooden (perhaps because they are [supposed to be] replicants!). My main criticism, apologisies for not saying before, is for me the cinema experience should be gripping and life changing and this ambiguous and pretentious film does not do it for me!

Andy, the second reason why I think your criticisms of Blade Runner (based on your criteria of a "realistic future") don't hold water is because in many parts of the world, particularly East Asia, Ridley Scott's vision is in fact kind of accurate: Sprawling metropolitan areas consumed by pollution gone wild, decay with a patina of glitzy high-tech and a society cleaved between extreme haves and have nots, etc. Take a look at Shanghai, Seoul, Hong Kong...Ridley Scott's vision is a valid one.

...just continuing on my last post, people 30 years from now could look at Children of Men (which, btw, I agree is a fantstic film) and think "this view of the world is total crap based on where we are today" - Doesn't make the original vision any less trendsetting, emotionally evocative/provocative and therefore a truly great film. You can't measure the validity of scifi films purely (or even significantly) on the basis of their real predictive ability. That would make the genre pretty boring.
