I first watched Blade Runner the first day it came out in 1982 and watched it again in the theatre a few days later. It was one of the first DVDs I owned. And I purchased the 5 disc HD DVD set the first day it was available. This five disc set is incredible. You can see all four theatrical releases in all their glory in HD DVD. The remastering of the this movie is flawless and will be sure to amaze fans of the movie. The extras in this set are unreal. Interviews, deleted scenes and behind the scenes looks are enough for even the most avid fan. I highly recommend this set for fans of Blade Runner and for fans of beautiful movies to watch. This is a must own for the fans of High Definition television. One more thing in the five disc set is the work print of this movie is included and fascinating to watch because it adds to the story and mythos of the movie. Awesome box set! If you are a fan of sci-fi this is one to add to your collection. It is one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time. ENJOY!
This is one of the very best Sci Fi films of all time. and most especially in the Cyber Punk guanra.
The advent of combining all four release types in one package was not only the greatest thing to happen in years, it gives the two originals back to the long time fans.
For a transfer, this is one of the best I have seen. While most film is transfered save for a select few titles, this film holds a great level of detail in the majority of the scenes without close ups of actors. I would say that it is a matter of lighting. In the end, the film is great and the only reason to consider HD is for the sound and video quality and all the bonus material. If you have an HD DVD player or want to do HD on a budget, grab a copy on HD DVD. SInce the format is dropped but still compatible with standard dvd's there is no better way to go if you are on a budget.
The story line isnt bad.. sometimes it may be slow. But the pixels, pictures and graphic is totally super! I'm totally impressed with the 1981 movie.. i mean its old movie but the pixels, n etc.. is so super! one of the best hd picture movie ever i seen for now.
