Amazon.co.uk Review
To call this cut of IBlade Runner/I `long awaited' would be a heavy, heavy understatement. It's taken 25 years since the first release of one of the science-fiction genre's flagship films to get this far, and understandably, IBlade Runner: The Final Cut/I has proved to be one of the most eagerly awaited DVD releases of all time. P And it's been well worth the wait. Director Ridley Scott's decision to head back to the edit suite and cut together one last version of his flat-out classic film has been heavily rewarded, with a genuinely definitive version of an iconic, visually stunning and downright intelligent piece of cinema. Make no mistake: this is by distance the best version of IBlade Runner/I. And it's never looked better, either. P The core of IBlade Runner/I, of course, remains the same, with Harrison Ford's Deckard (the Blade Runner of the title) on the trail of four `replicants', cloned humans that are now illegal. And he does so across an amazing cityscape that's proven to be well ahead of its time, with astounding visuals that defied the supposed limits of special effects back in 1982. P Backed up with a staggering extra features package that varies depending on which version of this IBlade Runner/I release you opt for (two-, four- and five-disc versions are available), the highlight nonetheless remains the stunning film itself. Remastered and restored, it remains a testament to a number of creative people whose thinking was simply a country mile in advance of that of their contemporaries. An unmissable purchase. --IJon Foster/I

Classic movie just got better January 1, 2009
E. C. Carnochan (Dumfries)
This (As Ridley Scott says in the introduction) is the most complete and finished version of a true cult classic. The quality of the video and audio is frankly stunning, especially with the cityscape shots. br / br /Disc 2 has a documentary about the films troubled production. it's 3 1/2 hours long, but good none the less. I would have prefered the original theatrical release but what can you do (The only reason its 4* and not 5* in my opinion). and again the picture quality is probably very close to the best it's ever going to be, regardless of what other people say. br / br /If any older films deserved a blu ray make over then this has proven to be the ideal candidate - made me fall in love with the movie all over again. br /

blade runner:the final cut ? are we sure now sir ridley? i have enjoyed various re-releases from laser disc,video,dvd now blue ray. each version is great ,there are some copies with harrison ford's narration. br /disc 1 is amazingly restored with new cgi effects ridley scott's favourite ending scenes, fantastic city sets with flying cars chases br /entwined with a film noir atmosphere.breathtaking! if you just don't get it then so what? you can't slate it,it's a blueprint for another 1000 sci-fi movies. br /disc 2 is fascinating, it's crammed with interviews from cast,directors br /crew. what is unbelievable though is when the movie was released amongst films like e.t people didn't get it. it was almost a disaster.but now it has a massive cult fan base. ridley scott says"the final cut" i'm not sure it is though,wait for another soon!

originally released in 1982, this is a science fiction movie featuring harrison ford as a man who tracks down androids from outer space who have come to earth illegally. set in a permanently rainy near future city, he tracks the androids down, but may be in danger of falling for one in the process. and could it be that they are just a little more human than him? br / br /a classic of science fiction cinema, and a landmark in many ways as it introduced a style of future vision that has been often copied. not an action flick, it's quite slow at places but it's thoughtful and makes you consider the nature of existence. br / br /originally released with a voiceover and a tacked on happy ending there have been several amended releases over the years, which lost both these elements and added some extra footage. this version is the latest one. they call in the final cut. we shall see! the picture and the sound have been restored, although the age of the film means it looks good rather than great as a result. beyond that the director has made a few minor changes to the movie but I really couldnt spot anything major. br / br /some films you need to see, whether you end up loving or hating them. and this is one such, because it's so talked about and has had an awful lot of influence. br / br /the first disc in this contains the movie. with direct scene access. br / br /a very short introduction from the director. br / br /a commentary from him. and two other commentaries from various members of the production team. br / br /it offers language tracks in english castillan spanish german and polish. br / br /subtitles in english finnish swedish danish norwegian greek polish german and castillan spanish. br / br /and closed captioned subtitles in english and german. br / br /all the above foreign language options are on disc one only. the second disc contains a documentary about the film. this is an amazing piece of work, divided into eight sections that run from 25-30 minutes in length, and you could not possibly imagine a more comprehensive documentary as it goes into incredible depth. and has a few bits of strong language so you may want to watch out for that. br / br /do you need this new version of the film? that's up to you. definitely worth seeing the documentary though
