Movie Reviews of Blade Runner - The Final Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Movie Review: Finally - The Original Theatrical Version is BACK...
Summary: 5 Stars

... and better than ever! I do not know which process they used to re-master the movie, but it is, quite frankly, better than the laserdisc version. Absolutely outstanding.

I have always been a fan of the original theatrical version and unfortunately was only released on the laserdisc format under the criterion collection prior for the North American market.

The visuals are stunning. The first sequence on a blu-ray player and a 1080p television will simply take your breath away.

Just one glitch: they did not remove the awful cables taking the car up when it is raining; in this digital time, it would have been easy to remove; especialy that they re-shot the scene of the snake lady being shot (you were able to make out quite easily it was a man in a 'lady suit'); they should have done this one too.

But hey, that's me... Otherwise, absolutely stunning. The one Blu-Ray that is not computer-animated that is worth every single penny.

Now I just hope that Disney will come up with Tron for Blu-ray and that they will use the same technology to clean the movie and make it pristine.

Summary of Blade Runner - The Final Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)

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.

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.
