Personal taste.
Perspective.
Individual goals for movies in general.To one man, a movie may be wonderful, possibly even a seminal event, while to another person it may bring yawns or signs of disgust. And, a movie that may seem wonderful when one is 6, 12, or 18 yrs old may be laughable or highly avoidable at later ages. And vice versa.
Some peoples' goals change over time. Some folks' goals expand over time (ie branch into different goals for different moods and situations).
When I was a teenager, watching Conan The Barbarian was a great event at the theatre. I didn't expect art and was NOT looking for art...so the movie was everything I needed it to be. At even a younger age, seeing Destroy All Monsters on the balcony of an old movie theatre was a magnificent success...popcorn, Milk Duds, soda, and a multitude of monsters, what more did I want as a kid?
So, for some, not concerned about a demeaning lack of high art, Alien and Blade Runner (and other movies like Star Wars, The Terminator, etc) are pinnacle films for some folks with certain tastes and goals. So, while they may be 'bad' films to you and other folks with certain outlooks and expectations, they are considered good and even great films by others. And some of those other folks also like to watch movies that are good art when the time calls for it...
