Format:Blu-ray
First of all, at least its the extended version of the movie, but all the extras from the dvd edition are missing, and the picture quality isnt the best. The TV footage at the start was meant to be low grade, but the actual footage of the film is nowhere near what we expect from Bluray. My picture had an annoying motion blur as the characters moved.
Like most old films released on Bluray right now, they are bare bones editions with very little added to them. So im sure once the Bluray ownership level has risen, we will see the proper versions a lot of these films deserve.

Format:Blu-ray
Robocop is a classic, lets be honest - so when I saw that the blu-ray market was getting a release of it, I had to rent it tout suite. Films like these really defined the 80s sci-fi genre, with futuristic cyborgs that were not 100% cybernetic. When I got this, I was really eager to see what those bofins had done to the film to make it 1080p - and to be honest, I wasn't that impressed.
So yes, you get the full uncut movie, 103mins in total, which means you see more gore in the boardroom when the demonstration goes really horribly wrong with ED209, and you get more violence in Murph's already rather nasty death to the big boss Clarence; but that is about it, no extras to really talk about, oh yeah- a trailer! Wow, with this Fox you really are spoiling us!
I feel really disappointed - and cheated, thank god I didn't buy this, it's a cash-in for Fox and I feel rather let down. I expected some of the great extras from the Robocop Trilogy [1987] that I bought 8 years ago to be here, and maybe a new documentary to compliment a new and exciting platform. I guess I will have to wait for a better release, but 21 years on I thought the 20th anniversary edition would have blew me away, instead it's like a trickle when you wanted a good shower.
Of course, the audio is excellent with it's Tru-HD lossless mix, but this really doesn't excuse the fact that the picture quality is only OK, it's not amazingly well remastered, would have expected really a lot better, if they can remaster Dirty Harry to the level they did I am sure they could do better with this.
Even if you love this movie, it's questioning of cybernetics and the complexities of the mind, I wouldn't suggest getting this - it's not the best they can offer us and I think it's time we got a decent fully loaded BD-50 of this film, as it's an excellent adventure from start to finish.
3/5 for the movie, 3/5 for the transfer and 0/5 for the extras.

Just watched the blu-ray disc through amazon rentals; it is the full uncut 103 minute version and it was absolutely superb. Key sequences on blu-ray are stunning; the ED209 briefing, Murphy's "murder" breathtaking! Make no mistake, uncut and on blu-ray is the only way to see this film!

Great film technically wasted on BluRay
A great sci-fi film which should be put up there with all the greats.. Hacked to pieces by the censors means the violence loses it's dark comic edge and seems a little more... Read more

Solid Blu-ray for Robocop
