In a signature role as 21st-centurydetective 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, murderous replicants - and is drawn to a mystery woman whose secrets may undermine his soul. Product description: 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. Disc One 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 includes:
Disc Two DOCUMENTARY DANGEROUS DAYS: MAKING BLADE RUNNER A feature-length authoritative documentary revealing all the elements that shaped this hugely influential 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 controversial legacy and place in Hollywood history. Disc Three 1982 THEATRICAL VERSION This is the version that introduced U.S. movie-going audiences to a revolutionary film with a new and excitingly provocative vision of the near-future. It contains Deckard/Harrison Ford's character 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 The Director's Cut omits Deckard's voiceover narration and removes the "happy ending" finale. It adds the famously-controversial "unicorn" sequence, a vision that Deckard has which suggests that he, too, may be a replicant. Disc Four BONUS DISC - "Enhancement Archive": 90 minutes of deleted footage and rare or never-before-seen items in featurettes and galleries that cover the film's amazing history, production teams, special effects, impact on society, promotional trailers, TV spots, and much more.
Disc Five 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 Batty (Rutger Hauer) and his creator Tyrell (Joe Turkell), alternate music and much more.

![]() Rating: - The Blade Runner you have been waiting forBack in the day when DVD was in it's infancy one of the very first films I purchased was Blade Runner. I told myself that I would not buy it again till a High Definition version appeared. And here it is in all it's 5 disc glory. Anybody who has a remote interest in film can't help but have this movie in their collection. It really is a true classic that helped define a genre, and is the bench mark to which many films seem to aspire. It's art direction characters and story are second to none and ... Read More Rating: - Blade Runner C.E. HD-DVDThe HD-DVD format may be headed for obscurity, but as long as my player lasts I will be enjoying these high definition renditions of the classic Blade Runner movie. A definite must have for the few who opted for a player with HD-DVD playback. The video quality of this title is every bit as sharp as my Blu-Ray movies. Rating: - Simply A Beautiful FilmBlade Runner has been described by film critics and film lovers as both a film that fails to live up to the greatness it could have achieved as well as a film that is unique, beautiful and brilliant. Roeper had said, and I'm paraphrasing, that the film was visually stunning and spectacular but that the story lacks relevance or meaning. The way I see it, film is an art and art doesn't have to mean anything. A work of art is what the artist wants it to be. I didn't see a particular point ...

Rating: - The best science fiction movie ever made Bladerunner, another extremely influential science fiction movie based on Dick's "Do androids dream of electronic sheep," tells the now classic tale of Dekkard, a Bladerunner, a highly trained assassin whose job is to 'retire' rouge Replicants, or biological androids. What sets this film apart is it's atmosphere, aided by near perfect art direction and spot on details. The new 5 DVD set, complete with a remastered HD version of the film that was created using the 4k original film reels, is simply a must ... Read More |
