  This 30th anniversary Blu-Ray release of Blade Runner is a definite must buy. It is a classic movie that stands the test of time and it is awesome to be able to have both The Final Cut and the Original version in one package. The included graphics and photos just adds an added and welcomed dimension to an already awesome package.

  Brilliant and beautiful sci-fi masterpiece. One of the most unique looking movies ever made. Absorbing atmosphere and haunting music. Ridley Scott's masterful direction ensures this is sci-fi for adults which is very rare in cinema. This re-issue on bluray is very nicely packaged. It comes in a hardcover "book" type of case with a few pages of sketches and artwork from the production. However that is the ONLY new feature of this 30th anniversary release. Which is not bad because the 2007 release was LOADED with everything you could possibly need to know about this movie, and all those features DO carry over to this release, even the ones that are not explicitly listed on the package. Because the imagery is so dark and hazy throughout, I didn't see a huge difference from my DVD edition. But at the time I bought this 4-disc blu-ray pack it was only $13.99 and I didn't have it on blu-ray at all, so it was worth it for me. So if you only have the single disc edition then the loads of features included here make it worth an upgrade. If you only have it on DVD then the blu-ray is somewhat worth the upgrade, although by its nature this particular film is always going to look only slightly better in HD. But if you already have the multi-disc 2007 edition blu-rays, then I would not bother buying this again just for the few pages of artwork and packaging.

  I always loved Blade Runner; always ahead of it's time, not only in visuals & story, but the techniques used to make this movie. I do prefer the final cut; it makes your mind work more than the cut with Harrison Ford's narrative. The more work your brain does ,the more you are involved with the movie...and that's a good thing! I liked all the special features which showed all the brainpower, very hard work and politics that are involved in movie making. No wonder Ridley Scott has a company called "Scott Free". Somethings are just better off when left to the directors & not the people who only care about the $$$. It may not always be a joyride for the actors, but that's why they get the big bucks. Any sci fi fans or fans of anything futuristic can't help but appreciate what this movie has accomplished in so many ways. Even those fans of the movie "Serenity" can see many "Blade Runner" moments. That's just another good sci-fi/futuristic movie that just popped into my head 1st...but the numbers of movies & tv shows are endless that have a "Blade Runner" moment or 2 in them. The character types, look & style, the stories in this movie just keep being reinvented & reinvented. Just one more example was the opening Earth city scenes in the director's extended cut of "Avatar". Another wonderful movie. A lot can be said with that example when you think of Ridley Scott making the 1st "Alien" movie & James Cameron making "Aliens". I invite you to enjoy this experience on Blu Ray.
