Rating:  - Masterpiece
A must for every science-fiction movies enthusiastic. This 1080p compilation is a plus, as image quality is exceptional if you can enjoy it in a big TV.
Just a note: blue-ray discs are not like dvd, and so they have no world zones, you can buy this masterpiece in USA and (happily) enjoy it in Europe.
Rating: - Blade Runner: 5 disc Collectors Edition
I saw it whaen it first came out, and bought the VHS. Then I bought the disc when those came out. Then came the Anniversary Collectors Edition and I had to own it! Outstanding set, indeed!
Rating: - A Definite Must Have
Without question, this is by far the best title available on Blu-Ray. Just watched it last night on my new 1080P HDTV and it looks and sounds amazing. For a film this old, I was a little worried how the transfer would be, but all doubts were washed away immediately when the opening scene began. Very clear picture with incredible detail. If you have a Blu-Ray player, then this is a must have.
Rating: - The first Blu-Ray disc I ever bought
The Blade Runner five disc complete collectors edition was the first Blu-Ray disc(s) that I ever bought. At the time (January '08) Blu-Ray prices were still pretty steep, but this collection was about the same price as a regular Blu-Ray single disc. So being a fan of the film it was not a hard choice for me to make. The collection is by far the greatest package that I have ever gotten. There are five discs, one which is just a documentary (Dangerous Days) chronicling the entire creation of the film. The other discs are different iterations of the same film, but they have their differences. Either way they all have just about the best transfers (especially "The Final Cut") that I have seen on Blu-Ray and I currently own fifteen discs. This buy is somewhat of a no brainer for a owner of a Blu-Ray player especially if they are a Blade Runner fan.
Rating: - Blu-Ray Disc Review
WARNING
I'm not reviewing the movie (plenty of those around) but the disc content itself!!! As seen on my Philips 60", 1080i HDTV. And heard on My Polk Audio speakers powered by my Luxmann 400 Watts(RMS) Amp.
-Main disc (2007 Remaster)
-Video- 10/10 Great remaster. Sharp image. No film grain. Excellent contrast.
-Audio- (Dolby 5.1) 9/10 I would have given it 10 but I didn't get the chance to listen to it very loud and I'm afraid since this is a 1982 recording, some tape hiss might still be present. Although if you juge by the way they restored the image, the sound may be perfect as well.
-Extras- 10/10 Includes 3 earlier versions of the film and 3 dvd full of extras... You couldn't possibly want more unless you wear "Blade Runner" jammies to bed and have a cardboard cut-out of Harisson Ford in your bedroom...
-Alternate (early) movie releases disc- 3 versions of the movie on one disc. A very interesting concept. Please permit me a short editorial note on the subject. Why not do the same but adapted to ratings instead? Take an "R" rated movie but decide to watch the "PG" version with the kids automaticaly skipping over the nudity and extreme violent parts of some scenes? These parts are usualy there only as an "entertainment" value anyway and generaly don't bring a lot to the plot. Think about it!
OK back to "Blade Runner" Alternate (early) movie releases disc- 3 versions of the movie on the same disc-
-Video- 8/10 Film grain can be seen. Contrast and sharpness not as ggod as main disc.
-Audio- 7/10 Good for a 1982 recording
A great value.
