 Complete package November 30, 2008
This is a nice set - containing all the various versions of the movie. While it is the Director's least favorite, I was pleased to see the original theatrical release including the Harrison Ford voice over. All the movies are in high-def though all the bonus material is not. The "final cut" is nicely done and worth a viewing.
 Blade Runner November 27, 2008
Before seeing this movie i had a lot of different assumptions about it. I knew that it was somewhat of a classic now and i knew i really liked Ridley Scott so i expected to really like it. I also thought it was going to be somewhat of an epic sci-fi action film. It turned out to be a lot different than i expected. The film was on a smaller scale than i expected. The setting of the film was less important than the story unfolding in it. Admittedly i didn't like it as much as i was expecting but it was still really good. Even though the style or genre of the film was different than i was expecting i liked it for that very reason. The way i look at it there are the films that have extraordinary settings and the plot sort of shows it off. Star Wars is a good example of this. The plot involved many aspects of the setting like light speed travel and large space wars. Blade Runner on the other hand was simply a detective story that just happened to take place in the future. Most of the events in the story could very easily happen now. Again, i didnt like it as much as i thought i would but i liked it a lot, just in a different way i was expecting. I definitely want to watch this film again to see i how like it, knowing what to expect.
This Blu-Ray Transfer Made Me A 'Blade Runner' Fan November 27, 2008
Sometimes you just need to give a film a second chance, even if it is 20 years later! Only some rave reviews about the picture quality of this new 5-disc "Complete Collector's Edition" enticed me to watch this again. Wow, I am glad; this was a very entertaining and a tremendous visual and audio treat.
I actually appreciated the audio best because, even in this new Blu-Ray era, one doesn't often find a film with very active surround speakers. However, this "restored" version did and the sound is, at the point, the best I've heard on a Blu-Ray disc....or any DVD, for that matter. The visuals? Well, fans of Blade Runner know all about them. They are fantastic. Scene-after-scene reminded me of a Stanley Kubrick film or another bizarre 1980s movie called "Jacob's Ladder."
I can see where people would watch this film mulitple times and enjoy it very much each time. The "Collector's Edition" has the best picture ever, according to director Ridley Scott, and "is the version I'm most pleased with." That's good enough for me. The rest of the DVD has those earlier versions, including the original theatrical release with Harrison Ford doing narration, like out of a late `40s film noir....so I am anxious to hear that - and this time, appreciate this movie.
Is this five-disc version worth a few extra bucks? Yeah!
 Bad film with excellent comment November 26, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
It is amazing that so many people voted for this film, so overwhelming that I thought it must be given a try. If only judging from the cover design and the year it was taken, I would never buy it. It turned out to be so boring and dull after about 10 mins of starting.
The director was successful in making a good start, but failed to make a good development and entangled in slow paced acting & dialogue in dark & disgusting environment and so on.
To rent before buying is my advice.
Blade Runner-The Final Cut November 23, 2008
I think Blade Runner was one of Harrison Ford's best movies.
The version I first saw when it came out in the theaters had the Harrison Ford voice over and I will probably purchase that some day if I can find it since my old copy on VHS has dissolved.
The second disc was interesting in all the background it gave, but I really enjoyed the original version with HR giving a from-the-gut narrative
like the PI's of old radio fame like Bull Dog Drummond et al.
