About this product

Product Information

Twenty-five years after the initial release of BLADE RUNNER, director Ridley Scott uses archival footage to re-create his original vision for the sci-fi classic. Based on a story by Philip K. Dick, the film is set in Los Angeles in 2019. Earth has become a polluted and miserable dystopia, and many people have fled to live "Off World" on other planets. This dreary vision of the future features replicants: lifelike robots built as slaves for human use. When a replicant escapes his owner, a "blade runner" is called in to hunt him down and kill him. Enter Harrison Ford as the retired blade runner Rick Deckard. He is pulled out of retirement to help catch four escaped replicants: Batty (Rutger Hauer), Leon (Brion James), Pris (Darryl Hannah), and Zhora (Joanna Cassidy.) Despite his distaste for the job, Deckard is soon hot on their heels, tracking them down one by one through the over-crowded, crumbling city streets. In the midst of his hunt, Deckard becomes involved with a beautiful replicant named Rachael (Sean Young). Rachel has fled her owner, and Deckard rightfully should kill her. However, the two fall in love, and after some startling revelations, they are both soon on the run from the very authorities that once employed Deckard.This final cut is a bleaker, more cynical version of an already dark film, which might explain why the studio insisted on a softer, more optimistic ending when it was first released. While some superfans might take issue with some of the revelatory new twists, they will no doubt delight in the quality of the digital restoration. The special effects were already impressive for 1982, but these new touch-ups give them a look that appears just as sharp and imaginative as the sci-fi films of today.

    The Final Cut Is Not The Best Blade Runner, But It's Still Entertaining.

    When I purchased Blade Runner The Final Cut, I thought I was getting the cut with the narration. There has been so many cuts to this film, so I didn't get the cut I wanted. The narration from Ford, makes Blade Runner. At one time I did have the 4 disc edition, but I have no idea what happened to it. The movie is very futuristic for coming out in 82, and it still holds today. I have more likes with the film than dislikes. The likes are the opening scene, the futurism, and the plot. The only dislike is the narration from Ford, and the ending. I don't know if a lot of people would like this film, because it's very SY-FY,. It is a film that has it's followers, some love it, others think it's one of Ford worst. So I would recommend this to all SY-FY fans, and to Ford fans it's up to you. I would find someone with the DVD first before buying. When I received my film I not only got it for a great price, but it was shipped fast, and packed very well. Thanks so much for the DVD.

    Ford's worst film

    Harrison Ford's worst movie. Cluttered Los Angeles in always raining film noir style story and setting. Confusingly complex plot. No humor to lighten the gloom. No characters to like or identify with. Not recommended.

  • Sharp Picture, Great 5.1 Surround

    Some people are giving this bad reviews because they miss Decker's narrative. Wow. That narrative was never necessary and only treated you like an imbecile that couldn't tell what was going on. It also interfered with Vangelis' masterwork soundtrack and the total feel that came with it. The DVD release of this had a fuzzy picture and the soundtrack was in stereo - remember stereo? This release has a crystal clear 4K ready picture and the 5.1 surround is awesome! If you have the DVD and think that's good enough - it isn't!

  • One of the greatest sci fi movies ever.

    One of the greatest movies of all time. There's no narration in this version, which is OK with me. The narrated version is good to see at least once too if you can get your hands on a narrated version. I believe this version (the unnarrated version) is the way the director wanted it originally.

  • Voice over was forced onto the first release by typical Hollywood producer.

    lot of comment about the Harrison Ford Voice over ... lot of funding problem ... very expensive movie for its time ... there is no CGI ... it all real ... however one of the producers (money) Bud Yorkin insisted on the Harrison Ford voice over ... sort so it would be ordinary NOIR ... a regular picha ... that Yorkin could follow. that was the cost of making it ... Scott works visually and never wanted and always disliked the voice over considered stating the obvious. Some like it other don't ... the commnets of the writers and designers are terriffic.

  • Blade runner

    One of the hardest and dangerous jobs in the world! He fell in love with a woman who was a robot. She was a very beautiful woman with feelings and emotional commitment towards him.
