Editorial Reviews:
|
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, murderous replicants - and is drawn to a mystery woman whose secrets may undermine his soul.

Summary: Mixed Bag
Comment: I am a long time fan of this movie. I have had a 42" wide format screen for movies only for five and a half years. I switched to a full Sony "Blu-ray" setup a year ago. I have three previous copies of this movie in various packages. I place this movie in my personal top ten list. This Blu-ray 5 disc collectors addition is a rather poor repackage that obviously had the minimum of effort put into it. Disc one is extremely poor rendition with very low quality color and green bands running through it on both the top and bottom. The "Directors Cut" is a copy of the standard definition print of a copy already in electronic archive. Color intensity in this copy is wanting but not as poor as the "Final Cut". I was hoping this would rise above but there was no effort to reproduce a high quality product. The standard def 5 disc set is much better quality. My guess is the Studio no longer has access to a high quality "master". It gets three stars only because I saw this movie in the theater and have followed it over the years along with the other Ridley Scott grand efforts in the cinematic experience.

Summary: Didn't work in my DVD player or PS3
Comment: My dad bought this and I tried several different things to get this to work (put HD cord in dvd player, played on PS3/comp./dvd player) and nothing worked. Don't know if it's something with my equipment or it's the DVDs but I never could figure it out.

Summary: A VISIOARY SCI-FI CLASSIC
Comment: Harrison Ford's portrayal of Deckard in BLADE RUNNER is low-key perfection, and mirrors the bleak desperation of the decaying, dystopian world Phillip K. Dick created in the book BLADE RUNNER is based on ( DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP? ). Scott's direction is superb, the cinematography, in it's remastered format is stunning, and the Vangelis score in 5.1 Dolby never sounded better.
If you love sci-fi without sugar you'll adore this film- particularly the boxed set with the Director's Cut, and the Final Cut versions ( both free of the Ford voice-over, and 'happy ending' of the Theatrical release ). It is a must-have for noir, and sci-fi lovers.

Summary: A Great Film Finally Gets the DVD It Deserves
Comment: Fans who have put up with the letterboxed Blade Runner DVD, with its washed out image and fuzzy flat sound, owe it to themselves to get the Final Cut edition. The edits have changed only a little from the previous Director's Cut, but the digitally reprocessed image and Dolby 5.1 sound are stunning. It's like the first time I've actually seen the film at home.

Summary: Disappointing Audio
Comment: All 4 Warner Brothers blu-ray movies I own that are rated Dolby TruHD only play as Dolby Digital 5.1 on my new Sony S-550 blu ray player and Denon 3808ci AV receiver, both updated with the latest firmware. The movies are "The Ultimate Matrix Collection", "The Dark Knight", "Batman Begins" and "Blade Runner". I have not had this problem with movies from other studios. For example, "Top Gun", "The Godfather", "Ironman", "The Hunt for Red October", "Men in Black", and "Transformers". However, these movies are also disappointing because while they play DolbyTrueHD sound, they are limited to 5.1 channels. However, I must say that despite that, "Transformers" has an awesome TrueHD sound track with unbelievable spatial resolution. The only movies I own which actually play 6.1ch or 7.1ch are "Wall-E", "The Curse of the Black Pearl (POC)", "Total Recall" and "Pan's Labyrinth". All are DTS HD, not Dolby Digital. It's a shame that blu-ray movies are not being made with audio to match the video.
