Editorial Review:
Product Description: Warner Brothers Blade Runner (Blu-ray) (Collector's Edition) 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-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: - Commentary by Ridley Scott
- Commentary by executive producer/co-screenwriter Hampton Fancher and co-screenwriter David Peoples; producer Michael Deely and production executive Katherine Haber
- Commentary by visual futurist Syd Mead; production designer Lawrence G. Paull, art director David L. Snyder and special photographic effects supervisors Douglas Trumbull, Richard Yuricich and David Dryer
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.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Blade Runner (Five Disc Complete Collector's Edition)
Well, after having purchased Blade Runner in several of it's previous formats (VHS, DVD, DVD Directors Cut) I never thought I would buy it again. However, when this special became available, I knew that I would have to see this visionary masterpiece playing on my PS3. I have not been disappointed. The digital quality is amazing, and it's interesting to watch the movie in it's various versions. You can actually decide which you prefer, as deleted scenes and voice overs do change the tone significantly. Also, the question "Is Deckard a Replicant?" is unequivocally answered by uber director Ridley Scott.
Rating: - Great value, excellent picture quality
This is a great example of value for dollar in the Blu-Ray camp. Picture quality is tremendous and the supplemental material (and multiple VERSIONS OF THE FILM) make this a must-have for any Blade Runner fan and answers virtually any question you might have had about the production, and then some you wouldn't have thought to ask. Very interesting segment on how they did some enhancements to fix certain things about the original film (worthwhile and justified fixes). If you really want to show off the improvement in picture quality, just pop in your old DVD and you'll see a HUGE difference. Highly recommended.
Rating: - very dark.....
I want to respect the people mentioning this movie is a masterpice..
.I never see something so boring. it is CRAZY DARK all the time, sunshine don't exist anymore and worst the rain is falling like hell during all the movie no one second is spared. ...nothing at all to get excited.
this thing is old fashioned and maybe was "something" special at the time of release in the prévious century...
So if your tastes are the star wars/X Men/ etc....you have big chances to be dissapointed.
Rating: - Balde Runner
Blade Runner (Four-Disc Collector's Edition) is definitely, and definitely, in my top five list.
Excellent Ridley Scott directed sci-fi based on the book Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Phillip K. Dick, in my opinion one of the best sci-fi writers of all time.
Pour yourself a cold one and sit back and relax for a mind bending film noir exploration of computer evolution...as only Ridley Scott can do.
Can man actually create a sentient silicon-based lifeform in his own image? And, if he actually succeeds, what do we do with these "units" when they go bad?
Watch Harrison Ford, Edward James Olmos,Sean Young, Rutgar Hauer, Daryl Hanna, and M. Emmet Walsh combine for a gripping tour of life on earth, in Scott's version of the future, as they explore just exactly what it means to be human.
Rating: - Great Film, Great Extras
Not only is this still a great movie visually/story-wise, but you get multiple versions, great extras and and great sound
