- 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.

- 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. - 2008-09-10, 4 of 4 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Excellent Disc
- I really enjoyed this movie. It is definitely quite an ontological journey. This blu-ray set is four or five times better quality than the DVD which was almost equal in quality VHS. I can't say much of the sound because I have not yet listened to it through a theatre system.

- Absolute Ultimate
- If you love Blade Runner like I do then this is a must have. I waited outside the store the day it was coming in, bought it, and no disappointment here. It's everything you can ask for from a box set (should I call it that?) and more. I love it and it is worth every penny I paid. If you are on the fence about purchasing this I say buy, buy, buy.

- Just for the hell of it
- Not a bad thing, only buy if you are a collector of this sort of limited edition stuff that takes up lot`s of room for storage.
Films are fantastic - 2008-09-01, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
