Visually spectacular, intensely action-packed and powerfully prophetic since its debut, Blade Runner returns in Ridley Scott's definitive Final Cut, including extended scenes and never-before-seen special effects. In a signature role as 21st-century detective Rick Deckard, Harrison Ford brings his masculine-yet-vulnerable presence to this stylish noir thriller. In a future of high-tech possibility soured by urban and social decay, Deckard hunts for fugitive, muderous replicants - and is drawn to a mystery woman whose secrets may undermine his soul. This incredible 2-Disc Set features the definitive Final Cut of Ridley Scott's legendary Sci-Fi classic and the in-depth feature length documentary "Dangerous Days" and features all new 5.1 Audio.
Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Disc Comment: I really enjoyed this movie. It is definitely quite an ontological journey. This blu-ray set is four or five times better quality than the DVD which was almost equal in quality VHS. I can't say much of the sound because I have not yet listened to it through a theatre system. Customer Rating: Summary: Absolute Ultimate Comment: If you love Blade Runner like I do then this is a must have. I waited outside the store the day it was coming in, bought it, and no disappointment here. It's everything you can ask for from a box set (should I call it that?) and more. I love it and it is worth every penny I paid. If you are on the fence about purchasing this I say buy, buy, buy. Customer Rating: Summary: Just for the hell of it Comment: Not a bad thing, only buy if you are a collector of this sort of limited edition stuff that takes up lot`s of room for storage.
Films are fantastic Customer Rating: Summary: The Blade Runner you have been waiting for Comment: Back in the day when DVD was in it's infancy one of the very first films I purchased was Blade Runner. I told myself that I would not buy it again till a High Definition version appeared. And here it is in all it's 5 disc glory. Anybody who has a remote interest in film can't help but have this movie in their collection. It really is a true classic that helped define a genre, and is the bench mark to which many films seem to aspire. It's art direction characters and story are second to none and yet for a time it seemed we would never see the film that Ridley Scott intended. The production was fraught from the outset with script changes, the production losing its backers and studio meddling that led to a compromised film being shown in cinemas the first time round. Time however and hind sight has seen fit to bless Blade Runner and it's visionary director with cult status and we now have the final cut of the film approved by Ridley Scott himself.
Apart from the Final Cut of the movie this box set features all versions of the film that you could possibly want including the fabled and rarely seen Workprint. So for completists this box set is a must. I found the documentary Dangerous Days fascinating and it's a real eye opener to see how far ahead of it's time this film was. Indeed when you look at the budget this film had and what went on screen it's hard to see how todays movies cost the millions they do.
It goes without saying that the picture and audio quality of this movie are reference. When you have seen this movie on free to air ,dvd or even vhs it's like your getting a mere glimpse of the beauty this film has to offer. And if ever there was a movie that was worth the revisionist treatment then this one is it. Some people bemoan the fact that directors are now going back and digitally altering their movies and I have my reservations. Here the alterations are for the most part subtle and are there to enhance the quality of the presentation, to bring it up to date, and to fix stuff that just wasn't able to be fixed at the time it was made. But who cares with this 5 disc set you can have whichever movie you prefer. Who knows you might get to like a different version.
They just don't make them like this anymore, so you owe it to yourself to go get it.
Customer Rating: Summary: Blade Runner C.E. HD-DVD Comment: The HD-DVD format may be headed for obscurity, but as long as my player lasts I will be enjoying these high definition renditions of the classic Blade Runner movie. A definite must have for the few who opted for a player with HD-DVD playback. The video quality of this title is every bit as sharp as my Blu-Ray movies.
