Amazon.co.uk Review
To call this cut of Blade Runner ‘long awaited’ would be a heavy, heavy understatement. It’s taken 25 years since the first release of one of the science-fiction genre’s flagship films to get this far, and understandably, Blade Runner: The Final Cut has proved to be one of the most eagerly awaited DVD releases of all time.

And it’s been well worth the wait. Director Ridley Scott’s decision to head back to the edit suite and cut together one last version of his flat-out classic film has been heavily rewarded, with a genuinely definitive version of an iconic, visually stunning and downright intelligent piece of cinema. Make no mistake: this is by distance the best version of Blade Runner. And it’s never looked better, either.

The core of Blade Runner, of course, remains the same, with Harrison Ford’s Deckard (the Blade Runner of the title) on the trail of four ‘replicants’, cloned humans that are now illegal. And he does so across an amazing cityscape that’s proven to be well ahead of its time, with astounding visuals that defied the supposed limits of special effects back in 1982.

Backed up with a staggering extra features package that varies depending on which version of this Blade Runner release you opt for (two-, four- and five-disc versions are available), the highlight nonetheless remains the stunning film itself. Remastered and restored, it remains a testament to a number of creative people whose thinking was simply a country mile in advance of that of their contemporaries. An unmissable purchase. --Jon Foster

5.0 out of 5 stars The best just got better., 7 Dec 2007
By Stephen Zarczynski (S.Yorkshire UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Since seeing the movie on VHS video back in 1984 this has always to my mind been the archetypal sci-fi movie, sure the original had its flaws, mainly the unnecessary voiceover, some visual bloopers and some out of sync dialogue, but when all said and done it was years ahead of its time visually and as yet it is still probably the best movie of its type.
The Directors Cut version of 1992 was a slight improvement but the Final Cut has put everything to rights with the added bonus of being available on HD DVD which I've just watched for the first time. HD really makes the film an absolute visual stunner which is pretty amazing for a film made in 1983, the Digitally Remastered standard DVD was good but in HD it's fabulous and the soundtrack has been tweaked as well. This is a must have HD movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of THE BEST FILMS EVER now in HD. Just BUY IT!, 22 Jan 2008
What can I say that hasn't been said a million times before. Visually stunning glimpse into a future that is already dawning. Every scene is meticulously crafted. The darkness, the subtle undertones, the theme of identity and what it is to be human. The haunting music...I could go on but I won't - you just have to experience it.
Dangerous Days - the included documentary is fascinating, although I was disappointed that it wasn't also HD, but it is a must watch for any BR fan.
Oh and I thought the film transfer was excellent - really showing off the detail and sharpness of HD DVD as a format.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant film, beautiful transfer, 7 Dec 2007
By Alan Jobbins (Tonbridge, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The new version of the film is the best yet.

Dangerous Days is an excellent companion piece with contributions from most of those involved in its creation.

Superb
