Everything, but that may depend on which version you are watching, since Ridley Scott has reedited the film many times, creating alternate versions over the last thirty years (with no added CGI). Nevertheless, the film is crafted brilliantly, captures the essence of film noir in a science fiction setting (with or without the Ford narration), and shows us a future world that could come true. I like the fact that the film touches on many themes, how our own advance technology can turn on us by affecting the environment and society. The overwhelming future implications of corporate power, genetic scanning, genetic programming, genetic discrimination, all-pervading police, artificial animals/androids as commodities, highly commercialized, the political disproportionate of wealth (the rich live at the top, the poor at the bottom), and the film retains a sense of paranoia where the inhabitants want nothing more to do than to live off-world in some clean-air
