Editorial Review:

Description:
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, now seen in sepcatacular hi-definition! 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 spectacular 5-Disc Set features all of the content of the standard definition Ultimate Collector's Edition. All five version of the legendary Sci-Fi film from Director Ridley Scott with all new 5.1 audio - the definitive Final Cut, three additional versions of the film, and the rare Work Print version - in addition to the in-depth feature length documentary "Dangerous Days", and one complete disc of bonus content including over 80-minutes of never- before-seen deleted scenes.

Product description:
In celebration of Blade Runner's 25th anniversary, director Ridley Scott has gone back into post production to create the long-awaited definitive new version. Blade Runner: The Final Cut, spectacularly restored and remastered from original elements and scanned at 4K resolution, will contain never-before-seen added/extended scenes, added lines, new and improved special effects, director and filmmaker commentary, an all-new 5.1 Dolby® Digital audio track and more. Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Edward James Olmos, Joanna Cassidy, Sean Young, and Daryl Hannah are among some 80 stars, filmmakers and others who participate in the extensive bonus features. Among the bonus material highlights is Dangerous Days, a brand new, three-and-a-half-hour documentary by award-winning DVD producer Charles de Lauzirika, with an extensive look into every aspect of the film: its literary genesis, its challenging production and its controversial legacy. The definitive documentary to accompany the definitive film version.

Disc One
RIDLEY SCOTT'S ALL-NEW "FINAL CUT" VERSION OF THE FILM
Restored and remastered with added & extended scenes, added lines, new and cleaner special effects and all new 5.1 Dolby Digital Audio. Also includes:
  • Commentary by Ridley Scott
  • Commentary by executive producer/co-screenwriter Hampton Fancher and co-screenwriter David Peoples; producer Michael Deely and production executive Katherine Haber
  • Commentary by visual futurist Syd Mead; production designer Lawrence G. Paull, art director David L. Snyder and special photographic effects supervisors Douglas Trumbull, Richard Yuricich and David Dryer


Disc Two
DOCUMENTARY DANGEROUS DAYS: MAKING BLADE RUNNER
A feature-length authoritative documentary revealing all the elements that shaped this hugely influential cinema landmark. Cast, crew, critics and colleagues give a behind-the-scenes, in-depth look at the film -- from its literary roots and inception through casting, production, visuals and special effects to its controversial legacy and place in Hollywood history.

Disc Three
1982 THEATRICAL VERSION
This is the version that introduced U.S. movie-going audiences to a revolutionary film with a new and excitingly provocative vision of the near-future. It contains Deckard/Harrison Ford's character narration and has Deckard and Rachel's (Sean Young) "happy ending" escape scene.

1982 INTERNATIONAL VERSION
Also used on U.S. home video, laserdisc and cable releases up to 1992. This version is not rated, and contains some extended action scenes in contrast to the Theatrical Version.

1992 DIRECTOR'S CUT
The Director's Cut omits Deckard's voiceover narration and removes the "happy ending" finale. It adds the famously-controversial "unicorn" sequence, a vision that Deckard has which suggests that he, too, may be a replicant.

Disc Four
BONUS DISC - "Enhancement Archive": 90 minutes of deleted footage and rare or never-before-seen items in featurettes and galleries that cover the film's amazing history, production teams, special effects, impact on society, promotional trailers, TV spots, and much more.

  • Featurette "Sacrificial Sheep: The Novel vs. The Film"
  • Philip K. Dick: The Blade Runner Interviews (audio)
  • Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep Cover Gallery (images)
  • The Art of Blade Runner (image galleries)

  • Featurette "--Nexus Generation: Fans & Filmmakers"


Disc Five
WORKPRINT VERSION
This rare version of the film is considered by some to be the most radically different of all the Blade Runner cuts. It includes an altered opening scene, no Deckard narration until the final scenes, no "unicorn" sequence, no Deckard/Rachel "happy ending," altered lines between Batty (Rutger Hauer) and his creator Tyrell (Joe Turkell), alternate music and much more. Also includes:
  • Commentary by Paul M. Sammon, author of Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner
  • Featurette "All Our Variant Futures: From Workprint to Final Cut"

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Top Five Best Sci Fi Movies Ever Made
Add Ridley Scott's Alien to that list too. He's on to something here with the sci fi genre...

So basically I'm sitting here watching the director's cut on the sci fi channel and boy does it bring back memories. Plus I'm bored, and that's often a great combo for an Amazon review! (being bored and seeing or hearing something at the moment I either really love or hate) I saw this one back in the theaters in 1981 (not to date myself) and it still looks fresh and modern to this day. The movie simply will not age.

So, there's like 600 five star reviews and I'm not going to waste any more time on this one, since it's all probably been said already. I will say it's interesting this film was released in 1981 and is set in the year 2019, which I suppose at the time seemed ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - the ultimate Bladerunner - don't miss
Just everything you wanted to see and know about this outstanding sci-fi masterpiece, guys, I'm telling you. Amazing box-set.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Blade Runner Never Rises Above Mediocre
Back in December, we listed our "8 Coolest Sci-Fi Flicks" and got some heat for not including "Blade Runner" (1982) on the list. We remembered Ridley Scott's adaptation of Philip K. Dick's science fiction classic "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" as being a disappointment - as well as a bit heavy-handed.

We recently revisited "Blade Runner" to see if the sands of time had softened our opinion of the movie. But we also wanted to see if Scott's director's cut version of the film would improve it.

It did, but our opinion of "Blade Runner" remains mediocre.

We agree with film critic Roger Ebert: "Watching the director's cut (of "Blade Runner"), I am left with the same overall opinion of the movie: It looks fabulous, it uses special effects to create a new ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of the single greatest films of all time, released in flawless HD X 5!!!!
Where to begin? Blade Runner is one of the single greatest films of all time. If this movie was simply the Final Cut released with no Special Features it would still be a five star item. However, with the 9 hours of special features and five versions of the film, all in glorious, glorious 1080P this item can truthfully be described as one of the finest film deals available on the market. If you haven't already done so, order this item promptly, it belongs in the Blu Ray Collection of any fan of good movies, and especially any fan of science fiction. The transfer to Blu Ray is phenomenal as it the sound. It is kind of a bummer that the special features are not in HD but that is such a minor point compared to all of the high points of this item that you should not allow it to prevent you from ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Original the Best!!
Blade Runner is a wonderful movie that explores issues and possibilities that are more and more relevant every day, and some that we'd just rather not discuss. Visually, it is very appealing and tremendously atmospheric.

I originally saw it at a midnight showing in a theater and loved it. I had been very disappointed that the DVD releases were all "director cut" types and they removed the original narration by Ford throughout. This set has everything and it is a pleasure to watch each version. Of course, the original is still my favorite. I highly recommend this set :)
