- SGA Cult Classic Redone to Near PerfectionSeldom does a movie come around that is as popular or more popular than it was decades ago. Blade Runner was a Box Office flop when it originally debuted in 1982. Although the film quickly gained a cultish following of hardcore fans that enjoyed it as an epic Sci-fi classic. Now in 2007 the movie can once again be enjoyed by it's masses. A newly remastered collection of five discs has made it's way to hi-def world. So how does it look and play all these years later. Extremely well.
I am probably one of the few to buy this movie who has actually only watched it once before. I was a child when this movie first came out and it was hard to understand how good of a movie this is until now as an adult. The story takes place in a futuristic world set in 2017. From the first moment on you can realize the epic scale this movie was put on. A corporation has created these cyber humans called replicants. Nearly identical to real people they were created to do slave labor. Although the replicants are very human like and that causes problems. Thus brings in Blade Runners. These bounty hunters go searching for rogue replicants. The replicants have been banned from Earth which means the Blade Runner must find any that find there way here.
Harrison Ford plays one of the Blade Runner by the name of Rick Deckard. Fresh from his first Indiana Jones movie he shows why he is a action/sci-fi star. Four replicants free themselves from a planet and have come to Earth to search for their maker. From the first moment on this movie begins to raise philosophical questions. Right or wrong and should all replicants be retired(killed) for just being a replicant. Especially when these replicants become so human like. This becomes evident in the character played by Sean Young named Rachael. So human like and yet created by science.
Most of the movie appears dark in many scenes, night seems to be when people live in this futuristic world. Despite the darkness much of the color is illuminated in a light blue color which is fascinating to the eyes. The music sets the tone thru the movie in which it can be rather pleasant to sometimes eery.
The Blu-ray version of this film is quite a feat. The sheer beauty of it in high definition is the clear vision that Ridley Scott intended. From the first scene to the last you can tell this movie went thru more than a once over. The sound is excellent and really brings out the film.
Blade Runner is without a doubt another classic. Although a sci-fi movie the story delves much deeper than that. This is a movie that should be seen by everyone. Any fan of sci-fi or just a good plot will love this movie. Age has only made it better. Without a doubt this is one collection that should be in any Blu-ray movie owners collection. - RonaldSweet solitudeThe Film:
In my opinion, one of the greatest science-fiction films ever made. It was released in 1982 and to this day nothing comes close; visually, aurally, and maybe even emotionally. The cast and crew put their blood, sweat, and tears into this and it shows in every frame. In spite of all this, you'll either love it or hate it, but give it at least two viewings before you decide, there are a lot of subtleties to pick up on. This is not an action film, it's a noir and also a bit on the artsy side (and it pains me to use this word, I don't consider myself to be an artsy person). The first time I watched it my thoughts were along the line of "...Okay?", I went back to it a year later and it all just suddenly clicked. I now place it among my top favorite films and I've seen it at least six times in the few years since. Everything about it is just flawless, the writing, the acting, the sets and lighting, the music etc. all come together to create a stunning whole (I could praise the sets and music until I'm blue in the face, amazing). When you watch it, be sure and do it right; watch it late at night, lights out, without any distractions (in fact, this is one of the few movies that I prefer to watch alone), it's the only way to do it. This is not a daytime, friends over and chatting movie, you'll ruin it for yourself. Again, give it at least two tries before you make up your mind on it. Many, many people dislike it at first glance (probably in part because it's so different from the mainstream and what we are accustomed to) but it often grows on them upon subsequent viewings.
The Final Cut Edition:
Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous. I don't have a Blu-Ray player or the latest greatest television, but even on DVD on my 32" 720p LCD it looks fantastic. Beautifully remastered picture and sound, and the scene extensions, while all short, are a welcome addition. They also did a really great job digitally adding Zhora's real face back in, to where it no longer looks like a stuntwoman with an afro-wig. It truly is seamless now. Fear not however, this is not a George Lucas style re-release and it is not wildly altered, it is absolutely the original Blade Runner film that everyone knows and loves, only it has now been brought to perfection. The big issue that will divide some viewers is the voice-over narration, or rather, the lack thereof. Personally, I prefer it without the narration (I just thought it sounded really cheesy and poorly done and detracted from the greatness of the film), the lack of narration only makes me enjoy the Final Cut even more, but I know that some people prefer it with the narration and if you really have to have it then look elsewhere, it is entirely absent here. The cheesy tacked-on ending (the one that included landscape footage from the shooting of "The Shining") was also axed and now we get a good one that better fits the nature of the film (again, my opinion). There is also a few hours worth of documentary on the second disc that I enjoyed.
All-in-all, a must-own. Yes, it's true, you might not like it, but you owe it to yourself to give it a chance (two chances). It may just end up becoming a favorite and drawing you deep into its beautifully bleak world as it did with me. Highly, highly recommended, this is a masterpiece in every sense. - J iAmazing that all I have to sayAmazing movie it will surprise you how good they made sci fi movies in the 80s with what they had for computers it’s a miracle!
