BLADE RUNNER - Worth A BD As Well? - Blu-ray Forum

rkish · 05-12-2008, 06:49 PM

Though I'll probably get this anyway...Has anyone seen a significant improvement in the BD version of this collection (mostly the Final Cut) over the SD version?

THANKS!

i've seen it in hd. (the red box). it's impressive.

It's worthy of purchase and is beautiful on Blu.

The final cut cleans up a lot of little nagging errors (like when the female replicant runs through the plate glass when being chased by Deckard- before you could definitely tell it was a stunt double) as well as really cleans up the overall look of the film. The sound is also spectacular.

With the combination of BB's 2 for $30 deal, this is an absolute must-buy if you owned and enjoyed the previous SD versions. I love it.

Target has it for $24.99 this week. I might opt ot get it there, as I'm keeping an eye on EBay auctions and Deep Discount DVD for other BD titles.

Thanks for the heads up on BB!

Correct that...just realized that they had it alone for $19.99. BB will give you their online discount..I'm on my way!

Thanks!

Execllent pick up in Blu. I love all the different versions of the film aswell.

you will find that the high def remastered soundtrack is nothing short of amazing

PQ is usually very good also (but not on all scenes)

If you liked the movie, then yes it's worth the upgrade.

Crème Blu-ray · 05-12-2008, 08:36 PM

Arguably the most universally recommended upgrade.

I have to tell you, the Blu Ray was my first Blade Runner experience and I'm glad I have it.

Because there are sooooo many version of the movie in this set, I was able to learn everything about it in a very short time, and it almost feels like it has always been there.

I'm not really sure why it took me so long to see this, but I am definitely in the game in a big way because of the Blu Ray.

You won't be disappointed.

Enjoy,
