 The Wait Is Over... August 7, 2007
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
How many films mark an era in film making like Blade Runner? I've been fascinated by this movie since it came out back in '82. I was only 11, but I remember reading the Marvel comic, the novel 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep' and eventually in college adding the vcr tape to my collection in it's various released editions. Finally the ultimate collection looks to be available very shortly and I find myself just as excited as when I first heard 'the guy who played Han Solo is in a new movie..!' 25 years ago.
I've seen outtake stills and skimmed through the 'making of' books with much curiosity. Learning behind the scene facts about how miserable it was on the set at times and how Harrison Ford had a reputation for not 'liking' the film. This stuff always fascinated me. To think, that the creation of such a creative project could harbor with in it's working process so many negativities and still come out in my mind as perfect was very interesting to me. Time and again, I'd view this movie and see wires lifting up ships and dialog miss cues (that are apparently to be corrected in this latest version)and think that they were done for effect, not by mistake. I guess that's how much I wanted to love this film and still do.
You can bet I'll be all over this brief case edition. To watch the new version and cherish the old, mistakes and all.
This is the set to get! August 6, 2007

Do we really need five versions of the film? This is definitely the set to get...four versions of the film plus two discs full of extras for only $25!!! Save the extra cash and go with the four-disc collector's edition of this groundbreaking science-fiction classic!
Blade Runner - 5 discs - I said WOW! August 4, 2007

Blade Runner is an amazing film in many ways. It is very artistic, reflective and overall a wonderful piece of cinema that will hold up over the years despite being released in 1982. Ridley Scott is a superb director and this is one of his best films and is one of my personal favorites. Harrison Ford also does a wonderful job and the story will keep you thinking long after watching this. What is great about this set is that you don't have to worry, "which version should I get?" because it comes with all of them! How cool is that? FIVE DISCS for ONLY 27.95? Amazing. This is THE version of the film to buy, and in high-def. I've been waiting on this for YEARS. Also Blade Runner and music fans, may I suggest the Blade Runner soundtrack by Vangelis. (UPC 0 7567-82623-2 6) The expanded soundtrack features more music from the score not released in the film and is just as powerful and evocative as the movie.
 It's nice to have choice, but this seems wasteful August 1, 2007

Not sure why one would buy the 4 disk SE and not the 5 disk SE, but I am sure people have their reasons. Price might be an issue, with the extra disk costing $25 more. If you're not that big of a fan than you should for the 2-disk edition and not the 4 disk edition. If you are a big fan you should just for the 5-disk. To see a workprint of a film is a rare and wonderful thing indeed (the workprint is in fact the extra disk of the 5 disk version). I have the feeling that the 4 disk version won't be around for a long time, with most people opting for the two options above.
Blade Runner is Excellent Film Noir July 31, 2007

Surprisingly, some think this masterpiece is boring and overrated. I'm not one of them. Blade Runner is futuristic film noir. It's like The Big Sleep on speed. Ford is a Philip Marlowe type. If you don't have a strong film background, you may not apprieciate the nuances of the production. It is slow paced, and I welcome this more each year. Every action film released today is wall-to-wall action, with little real character development. Seeing a film like this today is a breath of fresh air. Another plus is the production design, which created a lived-in look to the city. Before this film every sci-fi flick was bright. This film presented an atmosphere of societal's downfall. And the point to the film is that everyone acts like a robot, whether they actually are one or not. Decker probably has the most feelings of anyone, and he is an andoid! Hauer's character's speech at his time of death reinforces the argument that these robots have feelings. He regrets that all his memories will be lost after he dies. Finally, in our world of 2007, where everyone seems to live in his or her own world, with their cell phones and blackberries and Type A personalities, running around for no apparent reason, Scott's prediction of the future seems to have come true.
