Thanks! I was just looking for confirmation that the French set included everything, with the exception of the Final Cut on BD.

You realize that 90+% of 4Ks come with the BD, yes?

What an idiotic mess! And there are complaints about the image quality of the Final Cut on the standard Blu-ray.

I was one of the fortunate people that got the early editions with all the versions of the movie. However, is anybody else versions grainy as hell? It seems the other disc that has the alternate versions are terribly grainy. Or is it just me?

I re-watched this disc last night, but this time calibrated for HDR. I have to say, I think the HDR was very nicely implemented. The shadow details and highlights in general are rather pleasing. I paid a little more attention to the film grain and it does look a little more digital compared to some of the better 4K DI discs. Some have said because it's oversharpened a bit and perhaps that is the reason, not sure. I did spot several instances of swarmy video noise still mixed into the image, but I was able to not be terribly distracted by it. However, all in all I think this is a pretty nice disc even though it doesn't meet the upper echelon of releases.

I did revisit some of the 2007 BD theatrical version and that disc does hold up pretty well visually all things considered especially for an older Blu.

Here's a solution to your problem. Turn the noise reduction filter ON your display!


UHD better not use any hardcoded DNR/EE. Especially not for BLADE RUNNER.

So is this the first time the movie's been released in the UK with all the different cuts included in HD?

No. We got the 3-disc 30th anniversary edition like most territories did.

Just ordered this from "THE HUT" in the UK for $27, and only like $3 shipping to the USA, they had it in stock and they shipped 2 days later.

Sorry once I bought the movie I haven't followed this thread really. What is the replacement disc about? How would I know if mine is defective?

Thanks

If you got the disc with the alternate cuts instead of the "enhancement archive" dvd. I sold my unopened 5 disc digibook for space reasons after I got this so I was kinda glad they gave me the alt cuts, but now I have the features

I have the 4K disc of the Final Cut, the 1080P disc of the Final Cut, and a disc labeled, "Disc 2: Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner," and another labeled, "Disc 4: Archived." Is this what I'm supposed to have?

Got my replacement DVD Disc 4 in the mail, came in a nice cover with a note from WB apologizing for the mix-up and thanking me for being awesome. Wish I got notes like that from everyone lol

If your disc 4 is the enhancement archive then yours is correct

[imsounoriginal]

Was debating whether or not to keep my Purge Trilogy set, but I realize now it's a black UHD case with six hubs, so I'll probably keep it just to be able to have a proper case for Blade Runner. But unfortunately because it's a wider case, that means I won't be able to keep the slipcover on it

I'll have to check it out. Thanks!

I'm ordering the SE from Amazon UK. Which shipping is preferred to USA? What is the difference between Standard and AmazonGlobal Standard? I'm not too concerned with shipping time, but don't want it smashed.

FWIW, I chose the default, cheapest option and they sent it in a tight fitting cardboard box. It arrived all nice and minty, no crushed corners or anything...and about a week before their predicted delivery date.

I wonder how I got a copy with all the correct discs while everyone else didn't. I actually ordered and received mine week ago but picked it up from my mom's house only yesterday.
