It's only after I watched Blade Runner that I realised just how tech-noir and Sci-Fi indulged the 80's was. Along with the likes of The Terminator, this film was another milestone in film making were we were once again looking into the not-too-distant future, and a possible reality of our own appreciation of technology. The result of course leading to conflict; both morally and technically.Providing you read the prolgue at the start of the film, you shouldn't have any problems understanding what does on if you keep an open mind. The plot is fairly straight-forward and see's Harrison Ford ('Dekkard') as an ex-police man who is called up to become a Blade Runner again; a special cop who can defeat a new type of civilian that's been created. A hybrid between a human and A.I, these 'Replicants' can match humans by looks and by nature... almost... The creator of these Replicants, Tyrell, discovered a way to give them emotions in the later models - by giving them memories to which they base current issues on.To go deeper into the story of the film wouldn't be fair, because this isn't a fast paced film. The slow, orchestral and synth inspired music creates the perfect atmosphere for what has become, a corrupt society that rushes around, decadent of organisation or rules. What helps achieve this realism is that the future presented is not too distant - that being 2019. Though obviously we should take into consideration this was made in 1982, therefore its only not too distant now! Never the less, it does without the stereotypical images of hover-boards and bright clothes, and concentrates on the decline of society and any enjoyment in life.In classic film style, Blade Runner diverts into many different paths that represent not just one plot, but a whole range of idea's, emotions, and possibilities the future has to offer. The plot proves how we may now marvel at the wonders of A.I, yet in the future, it could become the opposite. On a ground level scale, Ridley perfectly captures how afraid and vulnerable the 'modern' society is shots of people almost pretending to be happy. As the film explains, buy this time, they already have colonies of people on other planets. The remaining people on earth are the 'lowers' of society.Blade Runner has over time become a cult film for many reasons. But few stand up to a couple of home truth's that make this film amazing for people, like myself, who love features that are directed with perfect composition. In the dark and grim streets of L.A, and it's inhabitants apartments, the colour rhythm is phenomenal; in that Ridley Scott and the co-producers created sets that ooze character, and reflect the scene in question. One scene in question I find totally perfect is when Dekkard is sleeping in his apartment while one of the Replicant's is staying with him. It ends in him teaching her how to kiss and make love, because she doesn't have the experience or past-memory of how to use her tongue. Along with the beautiful music and typically lustful red and browny, it really taps into your emotions.I think this film has to be watched alot more than once to be appreciated. The reason for this is because every time you watch it, you notice something different, or you get different ideas as to the meaning's of things. With an open mind, this is a film you can truly enjoy not for high-octaine action, fast images, or speed, but for its steady pace that in the end, leaves you with a smile on your face. Sometimes, it can leave you wondering why the hell its so good! The answer is that theirs too many reasons...

Harrison Ford is just a boy in this film. The Vangelis soundtrack is great. The Roy Batty “tears in rain” ending to the film sums it all up nicely

Liked everything

Film ever made.........10/10

ah come on you know your going to buy this aren't you? ok so it's the same as the dvd edition but to have all the films on blu ray. its a good addition. me well i love blade runner so so i will def be buying it. its a nice lil boxset from what i've seen. the digi-book blu ray cover has a nice pic of a unicorn.so will you be buying it? surely so. ok so as you may have read in my comments that this review kinda sucked :) so decided to re-edit it.first the stats bitVideoVideo codec: TBAVideo resolution: 1080pAspect ratio: 2.40:1Original aspect ratio: 2.39:1AudioEnglish: Dolby TrueHD 5.1English: Dolby Digital 5.1French: Dolby Digital 5.1English: DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1Note: The workprint will featur...English: Dolby TrueHD 5.1English: Dolby Digital 5.1French: Dolby Digital 5.1English: DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 (less)Note: The workprint will feature DTS-HS MA 5.1.SubtitlesEnglish SDH, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin (Traditional)English SDH, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin (Traditional) (less)Discs50GB Blu-ray DiscFour-disc set (3 BDs, 1 DVD)UV digital copyDVD copySo what do you get in this fine 30th anniversary collection?disc wise you will get 4 discs (which will be the same as the previous dvd collectors addition) (though some reviews have said 5 discs) you get a book which will have exclusive artwork. and a nice replica of a spinner car. the blu rays themselves come in a digi-book with a picute of a unicorn on it. looks like a nice little collection. i also own the original dvd release from a few years back (not the briefcase edition) but that was very nice to. With only the final cut being released on blu ray. so glad to be able to see all of them on blu ray. Blade Runner has always been one of my faveourite films, one of the best scenes in the film is the ending. The film depicts a kind of film noir futeristic tone. Added with the music of Vangelis. Also like the whole is Deckard a replicant himself? a question that's never been asnwered. So you pretty much can decide yourself if he is or not. This has got to be one of Harrison Fords best films. It's one of those futuristic films but without the teleportation and lasers. it has a very shadowy feel to it, dark. so is this worth getting? That's upto you really, hasn't really said if all films will be high definition but that would be stupid not to. So yeah if you collect films, like I do, it would be funny to put your dvd version with the blu rays. and just having the final cut edition, nah i would prefer to have the original and directors cut that came before. So yes I have pre-ordered it. for anyone that once ventured onto sky one a very long time ago and watched total recall 2070, which steers itself in blade runner terrirtory (not to say its connected has any links storywise) but the series had a slight reminscent look of blade runner. And with a planned sequel being proposed. if you have never seen blade runner your missing out on one hell of a film. Not just an action or sci fi film it has a good story and well acted.well hopefully this is a huge improvement from my original review :)

And I want to see the directors cot in the film as I haven't seen it since I watched it in the theaterwhen it was released the first time.

¿Que puedo decir? Es una gran película y en especial el “Final Cut” me parece la mejor versión. Y también tiene uno de los soundtracks más bellos que he escuchado, la música de Vangelis le da mucha personalidad a la película. Supongo que mi única queja es el empaque de la misma película. Cada vez los hacen más chafas. Vienen cuatro discos, pero encimados en las dos ranuras que tiene la caja. 600 pesos y viene en una caja de porquería. :/ ¿Discos encimados? ¿Enserio? No puede ser.

Pelicula de culto. Poco hay que de ir sobre ella. La edición francesa, en perfecto castellano, pues es el mismo disco, goza de excelente calidad de imagen y sonido. Los extras subtitulados en castellano.

Un film mythique, un visuel magnifique, en version française d'origine, c'est parfait.À posséder absolument.

Top-Film mit guter Musik
