Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) prowls the steel-and-microchip jungle of 21st century Los Angeles. He's a "blade runner" stalking genetically made criminal replicants. His assignment: kill them. Their crime: wanting to be human. A visual stunner, remastered for improved home presentation, director Ridley Scott's vision of this sci-fi cinema classic intriguingly differs from what 1982 moviegoers saw. This version omits Deckard's voiceover narration, develops in greater detail the romance between Deckard and Rachael (Sean Young) and removes the "uplifting" finale. Most intriguing of all is a newly included unicorn vision that suggests Deckard may be a humanoid. The result is a heightened emotional impact a great film made greater.

Blade Runner: The Director's Cut review by Alex D.
Blade Runner, the ultimate Sci-Fi thriller!?
(1) of (3) members found this review helpful.
Visually this is one of the most incredible films ever made, showing stunning images of the future that have been copied in many so many movies but never really surpassed in its realistic grittiness, with the some of the most interesting, weird, eccentric and cool characters in film history tied together with a thought provoking story; all this tied together to make not just a great science fiction film but a timeless and classic piece of cinema.

Blade Runner: The Director's Cut review by RP
Superb sci-fi film
(0) of (0) members found this review helpful.
After 'Alien' (1979), director Ridley Scott went on to make (among many other superb films) 'Blade Runner' (1982) and the less-appreciated 'Black Rain' (1989). Each of these films features similar stylish dark and brooding visual surroundings. 'Blade Runner' immerses the viewer in an intense, claustrophobic atmosphere of tension, unease and menace which never lets up until the very end. The film will repay several viewings to understand the full and complex story, which goes something like this: in the future (well, the film says 2019...) it is possible to manufacture androids almost indistinguishable from humans. Banned on Earth, such androids (Replicants) are hunted down by agents known as Blade Runners. A group of six is loose, and it falls to Harrison Ford to track them down – which he does, falling for one of their kind in the process. A superb sci-fi film, highly recommended – 5/5 stars.

Blade Runner: The Director's Cut review by Jawbreaker
Ultimate edition
(0) of (2) members found this review helpful.
Be thankful that is is the 2 disc edition, for those who really wanted to experience everything Blade Runner, a five disc edition does exist! You can debate which version is the best, as there are subtle changes. The final cut allowed Ripley to go back and amend some of the errors/oversights of previous editions, thanks to advances in special effects. The window sequence for instance now looks superb. Blade Runner is a classic is many senses as it marked the high point of model techniques, nowadays everything is computer based. The documentary just confirms how much work and effort went into creating this inspiring and influential world. I should also highlight Dangerous Days, which is a film in itself. Watch it after the film, then return to another version of Blade Runner. It increases your appreciation of this classic tenfold.
