When I purchased Blade Runner The Final Cut, I thought I was getting the cut with the narration. There has been so many cuts to this film, so I didn't get the cut I wanted. The narration from Ford, makes Blade Runner. At one time I did have the 4 disc edition, but I have no idea what happened to it. The movie is very futuristic for coming out in 82, and it still holds today. I have more likes with the film than dislikes. The likes are the opening scene, the futurism, and the plot. The only dislike is the narration from Ford, and the ending. I don't know if a lot of people would like this film, because it's very SY-FY,. It is a film that has it's followers, some love it, others think it's one of Ford worst. So I would recommend this to all SY-FY fans, and to Ford fans it's up to you. I would find someone with the DVD first before buying. When I received my film I not only got it for a great price, but it was shipped fast, and packed very well. Thanks so much for the DVD.Read full review

Harrison Ford's worst movie. Cluttered Los Angeles in always raining film noir style story and setting. Confusingly complex plot. No humor to lighten the gloom. No characters to like or identify with. Not recommended.

Blade Runner, based on Science Fiction author Philip K. Dick's 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?', has become a cult classic and one of Ridley Scott's crowning achievements as a director. Set in a distant future full of poverty, bright lights and towering skyscrapers, Blade Runner follows Rick Deckard, a police officer who serves as a blade runner, specialized in hunting down replicants, or androids with limited life spans. When four of these outlawed mechanic beings are discovered on Earth, Deckard is called in to do his job by any means necessary. Do not mistake this movie for a mindless action blockbuster full of guns and girls- it is far from such filth. This movie has a cult following for a reason; one must look beyond the limitations of camera perspective and time restraints on a film to fully understand and grasp the creative genius behind the film. By the end of it, I guarantee you will have unanswered questions and this is exactly what the movie means to do- promote questions and leave you to answer them! This is one of my top favorite movies of all time, and I have seen too many movies to even begin counting. I easily consider this Scott's masterpiece, even beyond his many other incredible works. Perfect casting and an incredible score by Vangelis piece this movie together into a legendary work of cinematic art.Read full review
Blade Runner will always be one of my all time favorites. A timeless favorite. But I will admit, I was sucked in by Editor's Cut and of course, by the final cut and I was more and more disappointed. The Editor's Cut stripped away the scene by scene narrative by Harrison Ford from the first release which lent an unmistakeable fifties gumshoe flavor to a futuristic detective-like drama. I feel the narration gave more dimension to the film and irrevocably so in the last scene on the rooftop when Roy Batty gave his final dying soliloqy. That was a powerful moment and I don't think that Deckard's editorialization detracted from it one bit. I had high hopes for this final cut but they were dashed as well. What did we get? A couple more glimpses of the city street life, the unicorn again, so what? Neither this final cut nor the editor's cut did anything to enrich our understanding of the characters or the interplay between them. I'm sorry, but did I miss something there? I'd have had more hopes for a sequel, but not this. I'll be generous and give it an average rating. Stick with the first release, it is by far the best work.Read full review
Some people are giving this bad reviews because they miss Decker's narrative. Wow. That narrative was never necessary and only treated you like an imbecile that couldn't tell what was going on. It also interfered with Vangelis' masterwork soundtrack and the total feel that came with it. The DVD release of this had a fuzzy picture and the soundtrack was in stereo - remember stereo? This release has a crystal clear 4K ready picture and the 5.1 surround is awesome! If you have the DVD and think that's good enough - it isn't!
