OK, so why the hype re Blade Runner? Educate me... What am I missing?

I shall admit that I have never watched the original Blade Runner movie. I think I tried many years ago, but tbh, it was so dull I switched off after about half an hour. Looking back, perhaps I was a little young for the possible subtle nuances that it probably contained. Perhaps I was not really mature enough to find it interesting...

However, with the current Mini Series called 'Electric Dreams' just finished in the UK, I felt a resurgence of interest in watching Blade Runner. After all, I liked the other works of Philip K Dick that I saw, so perhaps it's time to give Blade Runner another try?

So, here I am, watching it in HD on a 46 inch screen, and I still don't get it? I'm 72 mins in as I paused it to make this post with 45 mins still to go. I'm at the part where he has just started kissing the replicant... But its so slow and uneventful...

Yet so many people RAVE about this film... So I'm obviously missing something. I'll stick with it to the end, but please, educate me... What am I missing???
