Customer Ratings & Reviews

I'm a huge fan of the original 1982 Vangelis soundtrack for Blade Runner, which can also be purchased from Best Buy. I highly recommend the 25th Anniversary 3-disc package. Being such a fan of the original, I was eager to see what Benjamin Wallfisch and Hans Zimmer had in store for fans with their soundtrack to the 2017 Blade Runner sequel, Blade Runner 2049. While it doesn't quite stack up to the greatness of the original soundtrack, it is certainly one of the better releases for 2017. There are several really good tracks that fit well within the movie and I could easily place them in the same vein as some of my favorite tracks from the original. My only complaint, and the primary reason I have for giving this two-disc set a score of four stars instead of five, is the inclusion of several tracks that are songs by Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley. Fans of the movie will be quick to remember their inclusion during the film. However, I felt as though they ruined the flow of the composed score by being placed right in the midst of the arranged track sequence. If Warner Brothers felt compelled to include these songs, they should have been placed as the end of the first disc or the second disc as a bonus. Overall, I definitely recommend the two-disc set for fans of the movie and feel as though it is a worthwhile addition to my movie soundtrack collection.

While watching the movie in the theater, the soundtrack pulled me into the story even more. The music has been enjoyable along with the DVD. Highly recommend.
