Blade Runner: Final Cut (4K UHD/BD)

BLADE RUNNER is now recognized as a unique and fantastic film. It looks great on the 4K disc and the extras, especially the feature-length documentary, are terrific. A must-have for anyone who likes the film

What a stellar job in the 4K rendition of this movie. Both the Video and Audio are well=presented and upgraded from the original release so many years ago, which I saw at the Theaters when it was first released. It also is a perfect segue for BR 2049, which builds-upon the greatness of this original story. If you have a great display and audio system, you want this.

Being a longtime fan of Blade Runner, there was one thing that I hoped for in this "final cut" of the film: that it would simply be a remastered version of the "director's cut," which it is. I loved the original film despite Deckard's unnecessary narrative (which I felt both detracted from the mood of the film and insulted my intelligence), but I very much prefer the Director's Cut. This thankfully unnarrated Final Cut adds some length to a few scenes, shortens a couple of others, all of which are improvements, but the digital remastering is what really makes it worth adding one more Blade Runner version to your collection. The colors are more vibrant and realistic, and visual quality is crystal clear. I did find it necessary to turn out the lights while watching it: the remastering has made every scene even more dimly lit than they appear in the prior versions (at least on my TV). I haven't yet watched the extra features included on the other disks in this four-disk set. My primary purpose in buying this was to get the remastered version with improved visual effects, and everything else is just a bonus. I decided to write this review to correct some confusing discrepancies in a couple of other reviews posted here, especially regarding the voice-over narrative, which some people claim was restored in this final cut. That nearly discouraged me from buying it, but I'm glad I did.

Even though I had to send this disc back to playback glitches (a problem I've had with quite a few 4K discs), when it did play the quality of the transfer and image quality was just stunning. Amazing for a film this old. Such fine detail and sharpness, with accurate colors that just popped. Even better than Blade Runner 2049 in picture quality (though not in story or acting)

This is the 3rd media version of this movie I own, and it is the best. My first version is a Laser Disc that only has Analog Stereo. It blew my sock off back then. Since my Laser player (Pioneer 3030) was getting a bit long in tooth, I bought the DVD. That had a better image and Digital Stereo audio And Now.... This 4K Blu Ray. OMG the UHD image is the smoothest and now it has 5.1 surround Audio (a directors remix of the original tapes) Well worth the re purchase if you have a 4K TV and a surround system

Blade Runner is a 10/10 A+ movie for me. My review is not of the movie itself but rather of the 4K Disc. I am only giving this movie 4/5 stars because the 4K transfer could have been better. There is an overall uneven quality to the remaster in certain places. If you know the movie, up until Deckard uses the Esper machine the scenes are beautifully clean, moody, and fantastic. Case in point: Sean Young looks absolutely stunningly statuesque and beautiful in 4k and the street scenes look amazing. Once the Esper machine scene takes place, it's like the image starts looking flickery and grainy. And I mean to the point that it's distracting. Once he is done and goes to Animoid Row in the next scene, all the color, cleanliness, and depth comes back. Considering Ridley Scott supposedly oversaw this transfer (or so he says in the optional introduction on the disc) I can't understand if that scene was missed or they just said nah that looks good enough there. It's shame because the rest of the movie is great, and the sound has never been better. I would still recommend getting the disc if you are a super duper BR fan like me and/or you don't already have a 4k version regardless.

This was a great movie.

As I needed another reason to cry, I bought this and watched it all the way to the end like I have endlessly with my older HD bluray disc. But, for some reason, the clarity, sharpness, high contrast of the city lights against Rutger's face somehow brought out my emotional side because it seemed so much more real.

La calidad de imagen y audio es excelente. Incluye el audio en español latino. La entrega de Amazon se hizo en buen tiempo y forma. La recomiendo.

Excelente, áudio atmos envolvente, fantástico, tem áudio e legendas em português, assisti 5.1 atmos inglês com legendas.

Pela apresentação do produto, já podemos ver o cuidado e a dedicação ao projeto! Já vi o filme antes, mas agora com essa mídia 4K quero rever! Já era lindo no streaming, agora mesmo deve ser mais impressionante ainda!

Gran transferencia! Se ve genial, es un super clásico de la ciencia ficción. En mi opinión se ve como dicen en tantas reseñas que tiene el disco 4k. Llegó a tiempo y en buenas condiciones.

Muy buena película , remasterizada a 4k ,se muy bien y doblaje latino bueno , lastima que la versión no es la del cine y el Blu Ray que trae solo viene en inglés y francés.
