Ridley Scott is one of the greats........2007-09-08
This film and Ridley's ALIEN inspired countless other Sci-Fi films with their visionary look at a dark future for earth. These films inspired me to become a special-effects technician and I continue to to be inspired by them to this day. A former boss of mine at Warner Bros. Studios helped to make the cryogenic chamber that the "real" Tyrell was found to be frozen in. I heard that this scene was forever lost, but I hope that this version has that recovered footage. Most people don't know that this scene existed.
vote for the narrated version.......2007-08-22
Obviously one cannot comment on what has not been seen but my vote goes to the narrated version. I did see this version when it was originally released this was the version that made this film important. Say what you will about harrison ford and others opinions on the film these are opinions and at a certain point even scotts opinions are irrelevant. Film has entered a new era where directors have become much like painters who refuse to let a painting leave the studio until all is perfect or all the strokes have been squashed under the pressure of what? THE directors cut.
I fell for this movie bigtime like falling in love and those of us who have fallen never think back fondly and say well it could have been better with just a little more unicorn. love is a Unicorn
The best one yet!.......2007-08-22
It's maybe the best Sci fi film of all time, maybe number two behind Ridley's other masterpiece, Alien. This film depicts a dystopian Los Angeles in November 2019 in which genetically manufactured beings, physically identical to adult humans, called replicants are used for dangerous and degrading work in Earth's "off-world colonies." Replicants became illegal on Earth after a bloody mutiny. Specialist police units -- blade runners -- hunt down and "retire" (i.e. kill) escaped replicants on Earth. The plot primarily focuses on a particularly brutal and cunning group of replicants hiding in Los Angeles and a semi-retired blade runner, named Rick Deckard, who reluctantly agrees to take on one more assignment. This movie I believe helped to inpire many clone and cyborg type movies like A.I. The story is so ahead of it's time and one of those rare movies that is as good today as it was in 1982 and is almost more relivant. Well fleshed out characters, Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer) is a commando, Leon a soldier and manual laborer, Zhora (Joanna Cassidy) a sex worker retrained as an assassin, and Pris (Daryl Hannah) a "basic pleasure model." Bryant also explains that the Nexus-6 model has a four-year lifespan as a failsafe against their developing unstable emotions. Deckard is teamed up with Gaff (Edward James Olmos) and sent to the Tyrell Corporation to ensure that the Voight-Kampff test works on Nexus-6 models. While there, Deckard discovers that Tyrell's (Joe Turkel) young secretary Rachael (Sean Young) is an experimental replicant (who believes she is a human) with implanted memories from Tyrell's niece, which provide a cushion for her emotions. I'm a character guy and believe it is imposable to have a great film without many stong multi fasited characters with more that a few layers. Lastly like any great film it is very thought provoking and leaves a lot to the viewer imagination. Many critics and movie goes hated this film for that reason but for the rest of us the compelling question of weather or not Deckard is a replicant is just that thing that makes the movie great. Oh, just so you know...Of course he is, you silly goose!
This is one of those movies that holds up to almost anything made today. the directing, acting, effects, and characters are all spot on. The movie made Rutger Hauer a career as someone to be afraid of.
This edition could make most fanboys soil themselves, I did...twice. It's a great set. The best "special edition" yet.
Where's info on Vangelis' magical score? .......2007-08-15
As HOT as I am to get my hands on the 5 disc package. I'm getting a little nervous about the gift that Vangelis gave to this incredible piece of art. Nothing given about a possible separate audio track for his music that he truly gave his heart and his soul to. Nothing listed in the documentaries/ alternate features of BR. Was he interviewed for it? Or was he ever interviewed about his luminous score over the 25 years since the films release? With the multitude of tracks available on dvd I'll be PISSED if the five different versions do not contain a single isolated Vangelis track. His score is equally as legend as the film itself.
I'm a fan of both BR and Vangelis. The fans of the Greek Gods' compositions over the years since BR have had an undying will of force to track down anything remotely related to his blissful score layered in rich atmosphere. Like those mysterious alternate soundtracks that used to be found on Ebay until a few years ago. The Gongo release is the second best one other than the 12 year delayed original version by Vangelis, which was released by Warner music.
Warner Bros. has been proudly proclaiming that they have all the rights issues handled to release this the way the filmmakers wanted it. Since they have the film and the score why haven't they included his participation in the upcoming notes? Maybe the fans STILL won't be able to enjoy All These Moments all in one place.
OMG!.......2007-08-13
On December 19th 2007, one day after absorbing all five discs of this ultimate masterpiece...I can, and will, finally rest in peace! Bravo for making it happen guys!!!!!

Hard to believe it has been 25 years.......2007-09-14
It is great to see Blade Runner finally being the deluxe treatment. With so many options, it is hard to choose, but this 5-disc Blu-ray edition seems like the most value for your money, but then I guess some will pay twice the price and go for the fancy box that comes with the ultimate colector's edition.
Blade Runner has long deserved better treatment than it has been given over the years. This is one of the quintessential science fiction movies, based on Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sleep. Of course, Blade Runner is a more catchy title and Ridley Scott took a lot of liberties with the story, but he created a masterwork in the process.
Blade Runner paints a distopic vision of the future set in a murky Los Angeles, where Deckard (Harrison Ford) tracks down androids that have escaped from their work colonies. He meets his match in Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer), an android who has taken on many human features and seeks out his maker. While the movie has many shades of Metropolis and other great science fiction films of the past, it is very much a unique work and has garnered much critical attention over the years. If one can, one should experience the movie in 70 mm, as it will simply blow you away with its visual effects.
It is hard to believe it has been 25 years since it was first released. The collection offers numerous versions of the movie, including the all important workprint version.
Oh, its an awesome movie..........2007-09-07
But seriously, you guys know it won't be 5 blu-ray discs, right? That would defeat the purpose of the new formats. Both the blu-ray and hd-dvd versions of Blade Runner will be 1 disc each. The standard dvd will be 4 discs, or 5 in the LE case. Visit the Warner Bros web site as Amazon is not publishing the dvd to get accurate info.
Blade Runner - 5 discs - I said WOW!.......2007-08-05
Blade Runner is an amazing film in many ways. It is very artistic, reflective and overall a wonderful piece of cinema that will hold up over the years despite being released in 1982. Ridley Scott is a superb director and this is one of his best films and is one of my personal favorites. Harrison Ford also does a wonderful job and the story will keep you thinking long after watching this. What is great about this set is that you don't have to worry, "which version should I get?" because it comes with all of them! How cool is that? FIVE DISCS for ONLY 27.95? Amazing. This is THE version of the film to buy, and in high-def. I've been waiting on this for YEARS. Also Blade Runner and music fans, may I suggest the Blade Runner soundtrack by Vangelis. (UPC 0 7567-82623-2 6) The expanded soundtrack features more music from the score not released in the film and is just as powerful and evocative as the movie.

One of my favorite movies!.......2007-08-19
An opening crawl following the main titles informs the viewer that advances in genetic technology have allowed scientists to create ultra-sophisticated, biologically-engineered humanoid beings called "replicants". Following a violent revolt that takes place "off world," replicants are declared illegal on Earth.
In Los Angeles, November 2019, Deckard (Harrison Ford) is called out of retirement when a fellow Blade Runner -- Holden (Morgan Paull) -- is shot during a Voight-Kampff test by Leon (Brion James), an escaped replicant. A reluctant Deckard is brought to his old boss Bryant (M. Emmet Walsh), who informs him that the recent escape of Nexus-6 replicants is the worst yet. He orders Deckard to eliminate the four replicants, a process referred to as "retirement". Deckard agrees to help after Bryant enigmatically threatens him.
Bryant briefs Deckard on the replicants: Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer) is a commando, Leon Kowalski (Brion James) a manual laborer, Zhora (Joanna Cassidy) an assassin built for martial arts, and Pris (Daryl Hannah) a "basic pleasure model". Bryant also explains that the Nexus-6 model has a four-year lifespan as a failsafe against their developing unstable emotions. Deckard is teamed up with Gaff (Edward James Olmos) and sent to the Tyrell Corporation to ensure that the Voight-Kampff test works on Nexus-6 models. While there, Deckard discovers that Tyrell's (Joe Turkel) young assistant Rachael (Sean Young) is an experimental replicant who believes she is a human; Rachael's consciousness has been enhanced with implanted memories from Tyrell's niece, an accomplishment that Tyrell himself is quite proud of.
A Spinner flies over the 700-story Tyrell Complex in Downtown Los Angeles, 2019.Deckard and Gaff search Leon's apartment as Roy and Leon force Chew (James Hong), an eye designer, to direct them to J.F. Sebastian (William Sanderson) who can lead them to Tyrell. Later, Rachael visits Deckard at his apartment to prove her humanity to him, but leaves in tears after Deckard tells her that her memories are in fact implants. Clues lead Deckard to a sleazy strip club owned by Taffy Lewis (Hy Pyke), who employs Zhora. A chase through the crowded streets ensues and Deckard shoots and "retires" Zhora. Deckard meets with Bryant shortly after and is told to add Rachael to his list of retirements after she has disappeared from the Tyrell Corporation Headquarters. However, after Rachael saves Deckard's life when he is attacked by Leon, they become close and begin to fall in love. In another part of the city, we see Pris and Sebastian for the first time while she's on the street in search of Roy and company. After she freshens up, Roy arrives: then he and Pris employ Sebastian's help by explaining their plight in a very subtle, yet threatening manner. We then turn to Tyrell's penthouse apartment and see Sebastian and Roy arrive on the elevator. Once inside Roy proceeds to demand an extension to his lifespan and absolution for his sins; upon receiving neither, he kills Tyrell and then Sebastian.
Deckard is sent to Sebastian's apartment and is ambushed by Pris. Deckard manages to get the upper hand and violently retires Pris, just as Roy returns. Roy then traps Deckard in the apartment, playfully hunting him throughout the dilapidated Bradbury Building and forcing him to the roof. As Deckard attempts to escape from the roof, he ends up hanging from a beam. Just as Deckard is about to fall, Roy saves his life. Roy is quickly deteriorating, as his 4-year lifespan is up, and he "dies" up on the rooftop. Deckard returns to his open apartment and finds Rachael alive. As they leave, Deckard finds an origami unicorn calling card left by Gaff and they depart towards an uncertain future together.

The FINAL Blade Runner.......2007-09-09
Based on the Blade Runner discussion panel at the recent San Diego Comic-Con, this edition should be the the last word on the Ridley Scott film, Blade Runner. The panel included the legendary director himself answering fan questions. The material on the five discs should be almost all there is, including all 5 versions like the new "Final Cut" that has the recent footage of Joanna Cassidy redoing her death scene where she barrels thru the plate class. The fan favorite "The Work Print" is also included, along with documentaries and 1 disc full of scenes. For the fans of Blade Runner, the film inspired by P.K. Dick's brilliant novel "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep", the five-disc Ultimate C.E. is a must. And it comes in the neat "Deckard Case", and Amazon has it listed at $69.99 as a pre-order. And that is the Blu-Ray version for $30 less the list price. At that price it's a steal. I just ordered mine, and I recommend any fan to do the same.
I'm ecstatic!!!!.......2007-08-11
I've had this on my wish list for some time and it's finally coming out on Bluray no less!!! One of my all time fav movies and I'm sure all those questions we had will be answered on any of the several bonus discs included. Superb movie no matter which cut you watched...highly recommended to those who have not seen it. If you get a chance, check out the final cut trailer on Youtube.
Blade Runner finally gets its comeupence.......2007-08-10
What better film to sail the Blu Ray market into harbor? I find it absolutely amazing that Blade Runner is finally getting the treatment it deserves. And then some! What an incredible set. December can't come quickly enough.
The God of biomechanics has blessed us all!.......2007-08-06
I will go out on a limb here and be the first to review by intuition what will surly be the best Blue Ray release to date. From what I have read, I am sure this will not disappoint.
I am sure someone will find fault with it though. Someone always does. Ridley Scott himself could come by and re-make the film for some people and they would still not be satisfied. If you are one of those few unsatisfyable souls, please spare us all and stay away from here. Go back to the theater where you originally saw it and wait for Ridley Scott to come by and re-screen it for you. All the rest of us will be home watching this cool film in it's many incarnations.

Bladerunner the theatrical release.......2007-09-10
With all due respect to Mr. Ridley Scott, the very first time one sees an epic science fiction film of this proportion, it kind of sticks with you, indelibly. I've been waiting for the theatrical release of Bladerunner on DVD for over twenty years. It's about time!
This is the set to get!.......2007-08-06
Do we really need five versions of the film? This is definitely the set to get...four versions of the film plus two discs full of extras for only $25!!! Save the extra cash and go with the four-disc collector's edition of this groundbreaking science-fiction classic!
It's nice to have choice, but this seems wasteful.......2007-08-02
Not sure why one would buy the 4 disk SE and not the 5 disk SE, but I am sure people have their reasons. Price might be an issue, with the extra disk costing $25 more. If you're not that big of a fan than you should for the 2-disk edition and not the 4 disk edition. If you are a big fan you should just for the 5-disk. To see a workprint of a film is a rare and wonderful thing indeed (the workprint is in fact the extra disk of the 5 disk version). I have the feeling that the 4 disk version won't be around for a long time, with most people opting for the two options above.

The Wait Is Over..........2007-08-08
How many films mark an era in film making like Blade Runner? I've been fascinated by this movie since it came out back in '82. I was only 11, but I remember reading the Marvel comic, the novel 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep' and eventually in college adding the vcr tape to my collection in it's various released editions. Finally the ultimate collection looks to be available very shortly and I find myself just as excited as when I first heard 'the guy who played Han Solo is in a new movie..!' 25 years ago.
I've seen outtake stills and skimmed through the 'making of' books with much curiosity. Learning behind the scene facts about how miserable it was on the set at times and how Harrison Ford had a reputation for not 'liking' the film. This stuff always fascinated me. To think, that the creation of such a creative project could harbor with in it's working process so many negativities and still come out in my mind as perfect was very interesting to me. Time and again, I'd view this movie and see wires lifting up ships and dialog miss cues (that are apparently to be corrected in this latest version)and think that they were done for effect, not by mistake. I guess that's how much I wanted to love this film and still do.
You can bet I'll be all over this brief case edition. To watch the new version and cherish the old, mistakes and all.

Details & Features of Blade Runner Final Cut are announced.......2007-07-28
Due for re-release in December, this motion picture is one of the finest science fiction films of the 20th century. Part of this is because it projects a future that could be - the earth as a place with a ruined environment populated by people that couldn't or wouldn't make the jump to one of the more habitable off-world colonies. The other part is because the film questions what it means to be human, and explores the possibly unsatisfactory answers you might get if you could, like the replicants, hunt down your maker and ask him Why am I here? Why must my life end? I'll pretty much let Warner's press release do the talking from this point forward. Basically you have your choice of three different sets - 2-disc, 4-disc, and 5-disc. The discs are described as follows:
Disc 1 - 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 included is commentary by Ridley Scott and a host of others that worked behind the camera.
Disc 2 - Documentary - Dangerous Days: Making of Blade Runner - A feature-length documentary revealing all the elements that shaped this 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 legacy.
Disc 3 - 1982 Theatrical Version - The original that contains Deckard's 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 - Omits Deckard's voiceover narration and removes the "happy ending" finale. It adds the famous "unicorn" sequence, a vision that Deckard has which suggests that he, too, may be a replicant.
Disc 4 - BONUS Disc "Enhancement Archive" - Eight featurettes, image galleries, radio interview with the author, and screen tests for the part of Rachel.
Disc 5 - 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 Rutger Hauer and his creator Tyrell (Joe Turkell), alternate music and much more.
Also included is commentary by Paul M. Sammon, author of Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner and a featurette - "All Our Variant Futures: From Workprint to Final Cut".
2 Disc Edition : Discs 1-2
4 Disc Edition : Discs 1-4
5 Disc Edition : Discs 1-5
The downside of this 2-disc version is that you are only getting the Final Cut version of the film and the documentary disc. You won't get the bonus disc of featurettes, the disc of past releases, and the workprint version of the film. The upside is that the 5-disc version of the film has some expensive packaging and promotional material included that seems to really raise the price of the entire package.

Movie deserves better dvd treatment.......2007-09-16
This film has a vision of where we may be headed, pollution, crowding, melding of languages and cultures. Still large corporations wield an enormous amount of power. The focus though is on the characters and what it means to have a shortened life and always live in fear of being hunted. Besides the characters the mood and bleak futuristic world are the stars. As much as I like the film I was hoping for more extras, especially with several discs. 5 stars for the film, 2 stars for the dvd version.
it was ok.......2007-09-14
I heard all this hype about Daryll Hannah in this movie.....It was ok. it'd be interesting to see a remake of this movie.
NOT CLEAR THAT THIS IS THE DIRECTOR'S CUT.......2007-09-14
It is very unclear from the description that this is the so called director's cut, which is much different than the original theatrical release. In fact, no where does it explicitly say that's what it is.
Please make this more clear! People should know what they are getting here.
Best Sci - Fi movie ever!!!!!.......2007-09-14
Produced in 1982, this film was so far ahead of it's time but filled with enough realism it separated itself from the Star Wars saga that seemed to never end.
The acting alone is about as superb as you'll ever see. The lighting and film effects were enough that it didn't detract from the story of the movie as say a James Bond film does (IMO).
The film was later even used to base a White Zombie song on "More Human Than Human.
I would have liked to have seen at least one follow up to this film but unfortunately the writer died I believe before the movie was even made? It's also one of the first films ever released on DVD also (The Original Voice over version).
Captivating and star-studded it shows many at the very beginning of their careers.
Not only is this Harrison Ford's best performance but one that will make him endure through the years in Hollywood as a genuinely great actor.
The best part of the movie is it leaves you thinking about some of the pauses and unsaid things in the movie. One that's captured the attention of Bladerunner fans for many years was "is Harrison Ford's character a Replicant"? I found out the answer to that after watching the movie the second time ;).
Sci Fi Future.......2007-07-23
How do you explain this movie? I guess you just have to watch it and try to understand it. Certainly a movie for those who love to watch Harrison Ford, and Rutger Hauer. Sean Young is quite good in it too. Set in the future, it's crazy and noisy. He has to try and find androids and kill them. But is he one himself?
Average customer rating:
- Great flick!! A classic sci-fi!
- disturbing, boring, and depressing
- Highly recommended
- Something has been lost since I first saw this movie
- A deep look at humanity.. basic existencialism..and dystopia

Product Description
Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) prowls the steel-and-microchip jungle of 21st Century Los Angeles. He's a "blade runner" stalking genetically made criminal replicants. His assignment: kill them. Their crime: wanting to be human.
The story of Blade Runner is familiar to countless fans. But few have seen it like this. Because this is director Ridley Scott's own vision of his sci-fi classic. This new version omits Deckard's voice narration, develops in slightly greater detail the romance between Deckard and Rachael (Sean Young) and removes the "uplifting" finale. The result is a heightened emotional impact: a great film made greater. Most intriguing of all is a newly included unicorn vision that suggests that Deckard may be a humanoid. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Is Deckard a replicant? As with all things in the future, you must discover the answer yourself.
Running Time: 116 min.
Format: DVD MOVIE

Great flick!! A classic sci-fi!.......2007-08-06
Loved this movie when I first saw it in (1989?) Rutger Bauer is outstanding, as is Harrison Ford.
disturbing, boring, and depressing.......2007-07-14
I'm a Harrison Ford fan, and was dissapointed in and depressed by this film. The plot, doalog, and action were glacial. The ceaseless rain, 2019 LA smog, gloom, hyper-stimulation, and overcrowding were depressing; and I didnt care much whether Ford found the "Replicants" or not. The Hollywood formula guaranteed he would, with suitable travail. The film's special visual effects were well done for the time, and added to my depression. I wondered if the directors / produceers meant this to be a visual morality play about our current overpopulation / media overstimulation / and ecological shifts in California. If so, it didnt make much impression on our society.
I wound up skipping ahead on the downloaded CD to see what happened. I will not watch this film again or buy the CD. Ugh.
Highly recommended.......2007-06-15
If you're a Blade Runner fan, this is the one to own.
Something has been lost since I first saw this movie.......2007-06-01
I heard the "suits" at Warner made Scott add the voice over because they thought the movie's plot was too vague without it, looks like they were right. But this movie has other weaknesses. First the FX which set the mood has lost much of its power to impress, granted that can't be helped, but its still a fact. The not so subtle Japan bashing, from a time when Japan was seen as our #1 threat, seems as corny today as a Red Scare movie from the `50s. Last the endless philosophizing by beings, that don't exist, and probably never will, on the subject of "are skin jobs human". Maybe expecting a movie to have the same impact 25 years later is unrealistic, or maybe it was based on once trendy now passé ideas.
A deep look at humanity.. basic existencialism..and dystopia.......2007-05-10
43 yo No qualifications whatsoever as movie critic
This is one of my favorite films. I write recalling the first time I viewed it, somewhere in the mid 80's while in the university. The images and hidden messages is something that will captivate you and encourage always to look for some detail that may have been overlooked (trust me this is a movie to be seen)....fantastic images.. and yes.. Vangelis does the soundtrack...atmospheric setting
To me geniality of the movie lies in the fact of telling a tragic tell of a group of "humanoids"- improved biological replicas designed to have amazing physical powers- they were created to do chores and jobs such as soldiers, inter-stellar explorers and "pleasure models". Replicas have one limitation by design, they cannot live more than 4 years.
The replicas are manufactured by a supercorporation, whose CEO is a genious who still lives in earth (a place mostly inhabited by the degenerate, outcasts and unfit to pass the migration criteria for interplanetary travel).. a group of rebelious replicas want a to meet with their Creator and asks for more life, a request that this mortal god cannot concede... Harrison Ford is a retired "skin remover" - that is , a policeman in charge of removing replicas- that is forced back to his former job to help take the group of replicas or "become little people". He is a antiheroe we can quickly relate to.. the world is now a babelistic mixture of tongues, so we hear chinese, spanish and english words as a background of street pappiamento. No I am not going to spoil it for you.
At least the replicas have the chance to find their creator- they are moved by our same existencialistic motives, but they are not given the paths of faith to find the answers. What do they want? I guess the same as everyone else, they just want a fair share of life- We have created new slaves whose notion of equality is just to live longer or at least as much as we do.
I wonder what would I do if I found my maker and could openly ask for more life, and find out he has limitations on that? A god with limitations, if we could forget the damn Aristotelic and Scholastic tradition of the contradiction of such a term, and we indeed find a god- made into our same image- and listen to his benevolent amorous advice and consolation- but realice that- "Yes Virginia (I am so sorry to say)- there is no santa claus"-
I forgot where I read it, was it Nietche, was it Schopenhauer?, oh well, it goes like this " truth can only belong to those who can bear it"
In spanish sound better "La verdad es de quien la pueda soportar"
So many angles to start an interesting discussion with a group of good friends over a good argentinian Malbec wine.

Amazon.com essential video
When Ridley Scott's cut of Blade Runner was finally released in 1993, one had to wonder why the studio hadn't done it right the first time--11 years earlier. This version is so much better, mostly because of what's been eliminated (the ludicrous and redundant voice-over narration and the phony happy ending) rather than what's been added (a bit more character development and a brief unicorn dream). Star Harrison Ford originally recorded the narration under duress at the insistence of Warner Bros. executives who thought the story needed further "explanation"; he later confessed that he thought if he did it badly they wouldn't use it. (Moral: Never overestimate the taste of movie executives.) The movie's spectacular futuristic vision of Los Angeles--a perpetually dark and rainy metropolis that's the nightmare antithesis of "Sunny Southern California"--is still its most seductive feature, an otherworldly atmosphere in which you can immerse yourself. The movie's shadowy visual style, along with its classic private-detective/murder-mystery plot line (with Ford on the trail of a murderous android, or "replicant"), makes Blade Runner one of the few science fiction pictures to legitimately claim a place in the film noir tradition. And, as in the best noir, the sleuth discovers a whole lot more (about himself and the people he encounters) than he anticipates.... With Sean Young, Edward James Olmos, Daryl Hannah, Rutger Hauer, and M. Emmet Walsh. --Jim Emerson
Customer Reviews:
Movie deserves better dvd treatment.......2007-09-16
This film has a vision of where we may be headed, pollution, crowding, melding of languages and cultures. Still large corporations wield an enormous amount of power. The focus though is on the characters and what it means to have a shortened life and always live in fear of being hunted. Besides the characters the mood and bleak futuristic world are the stars. As much as I like the film I was hoping for more extras, especially with several discs. 5 stars for the film, 2 stars for the dvd version.
it was ok.......2007-09-14
I heard all this hype about Daryll Hannah in this movie.....It was ok. it'd be interesting to see a remake of this movie.
NOT CLEAR THAT THIS IS THE DIRECTOR'S CUT.......2007-09-14
It is very unclear from the description that this is the so called director's cut, which is much different than the original theatrical release. In fact, no where does it explicitly say that's what it is.
Please make this more clear! People should know what they are getting here.
Best Sci - Fi movie ever!!!!!.......2007-09-14
Produced in 1982, this film was so far ahead of it's time but filled with enough realism it separated itself from the Star Wars saga that seemed to never end.
The acting alone is about as superb as you'll ever see. The lighting and film effects were enough that it didn't detract from the story of the movie as say a James Bond film does (IMO).
The film was later even used to base a White Zombie song on "More Human Than Human.
I would have liked to have seen at least one follow up to this film but unfortunately the writer died I believe before the movie was even made? It's also one of the first films ever released on DVD also (The Original Voice over version).
Captivating and star-studded it shows many at the very beginning of their careers.
Not only is this Harrison Ford's best performance but one that will make him endure through the years in Hollywood as a genuinely great actor.
The best part of the movie is it leaves you thinking about some of the pauses and unsaid things in the movie. One that's captured the attention of Bladerunner fans for many years was "is Harrison Ford's character a Replicant"? I found out the answer to that after watching the movie the second time ;).
