Blade Runner 4K UHD (1982)

[Creasy47]

I need this so bad but every time I see a good deal for it I'm totally broke. Brownie points to me for going ahead and selling my blu-ray copy so I can't watch it in general. Success!

Anyone know if this 4K Blade Runner disc works on my Xbox One S? I'm from Finland. Do 4K blurays have region codes?

[imsounoriginal]

4Ks are all region free.

Blade Runner 4K works in Xbox One S and all 4K discs are region free.

I was impressed with this UHD the first time I watched it on my previous Samsung 4K monitor. Just finished seeing it again on my new Samsung QN65Q9 (after a few days of integrating new monitor into my system, and calibrating) All I can really say is Holy S!@$!

that is the version that I was expected, with THAT artwork + 4K + other versions:

Includes a 4K Ultra HD Disc and 3 Blu-ray discs featuring all cuts of the film including:

• 4K Ultra HD Final Cut
• Original Theatrical Cut
• International Theatrical Cut
• Director's Cut
• Workprint Feature Version

of that way I can avoid buy the 5 discs version and 4K single version, but $84!!! is insane!

This version is usually 34.95 GBP when sold by Amazon. Just wait for it to come back in stock.

Bought mine for $25 shipped from Amazon UK. Too bad it doesn't come with Extras.

Is the amaray case a standard size? The bottom of the spine is about to break off (and I just received it) and I'm thinking about replacing it.

No DVDs in sight which is at it should be.

So the main complaint on the site's review regarding the extras from this set does not apply to the UK version, it includes the best discs (everything basically).

Scammed? I already have the 5 disc set and now I got the 4K disc for $15.

How is that scammed?

As discussed earlier, I prefer the DVD version of the "Dangerous Days" documentary. The version on Blu-Ray has these (for me) distracting artefacts with every title.

How is that scammed?

Maybe not everyone had the previous five disc set and got this release for $15?

Anyone bought this from Bestbuy.com recently? Did it come with a slip?

I purchased during Black Friday from BestBuy.com and it did come w/the Slipcover.

If you're a true fan you did and if you're not a true fan why would you care?

Mine came with a slip.

(It's exactly the kind of compression weirdness that I've talked about on ST '09 from day 1, the light seems to spaz out the encoder.) But if you're not seeing it even in step form - given your professed hatred of compression artefacts - then something's gotta be wrong with my disc somewhere.

But you think YOU has a sad about it?!? It cracks me up when people drop their hints that all I do is go looking for problems, to which I can only say that when those problems smack me square in the face then it's kinda hard to ignore them. You know me: I love to eulogise about even minor HDR upgrades so naturally I also treat any problems that I see with the same kind of verbosity.

This is literally one of my favourite movies of all time and I was ready for the amazing experience that the reviews and y'all have been drooling about but practically as soon as I started watching it something felt very, very wrong with both the picture and the 'core' 7.1 sound. Haven't heard back from Warners or Technicolour yet, which is odd. I guess they've just put me in the crank file along with Rorschach's journal but the truth may well get out someday. "Tonight, the 4K UHD of Blade Runner died on Geoff's TV"

I totally agree Geoff D, I also noticed some awful noise/grain, but on different scenes though, I’d have to go back and check the scene you’ve referenced. In my case, I noticed some “flashes” of “snowy” grain during the scene when Deckard first meets Rachael. 1 happens on & around Dr Tyrell’s face, right after Deckard says “just answer the question”, about the magazine question. 2 After Deckard asks about dog being served, as Rachael brings her cigarette down her face is outlined by heavy snowy grain. 3 On & around Dr Tyrell, after he dismisses Rachael & asks Deckard “how many questions...”. 4 And the WORST! On Deckard’s apartment, just as he tells Rachael that her memories are just “implants”. When Pris & Sebastian enter his apartment, the grain pops up again right after the little guy hits his shoulder on the door frame; the grain stays in the frame for a couple of seconds. The only way for me to get rid of it was to turn down the sharpness on my tv, which I always have on Normal, which makes the rest of my 4k movies look blurry & worse than blu-ray. I haven’t had any problems with any other movie with grain, SO FAR! I’ve had my Sony Bravia for about 2 years & this is the only movie in which I’ve noticed such a problem. It’s a shame because the rest of the movie looks AMAZING! Check out those scenes, see if you notice what I noticed. If we (the ones who have noticed this problem) cannot see the same scenes having this issue, does that mean certain discs were not “properly printed” if you will. What’s your take on that?

Oh brother. Maybe I was enough of a fan To have bought this thing in the States at full price and disgusted with the stacked discs ALSO ordered the UK release. *rolls eyes* Doesn’t change the fact that WB charges through the nose.

I noticed the same issues as Snakepuma on a brand new LG OLED B7 last night. It was like a brief snow storm of grain. Do I have to adjust settings somewhere? I have a Sony BRx-800 4k player.

It's more likely that the discs are fine, it's different settings/displays and different viewer sensibilites which are making the artefacts stand out more for some and not others. I've recently readjusted my settings for the umpteenth time and while this certainly helped with the rampant colour noise that I was seeing it's still there, just toned down some. The outright compression blocking that I'm seeing hasn't gone away though in that shot of Deckard looking at his Esper machine, to my eyes it's just a very fragile encode. For most people that general noisy untidyness simply registers as "grain" and that's fine, but this is one of those discs that I pray Warners revisit in the future with a fat Dolby Vision encode on a 100GB disc with the original Final Cut 5.1 audio alongside the ****ed up remix.
