Beautiful and breathtaking, reminds us how short our time here is. It is my all time favorite. The lead replicant's name is batty. Yes it is worth it!

It's a love it or hate it kind of movie. It has some action, but a lot less than most people exect from a sci-fi movie.

They did a great job with the Blu-ray though, amazing picture quality and sound for a 25 year old movie. And tons of extras and special features and alternate cuts of the movie and stuff.

I purchased the film with an open mind. I knew it was made way be when... i knew it was a science fiction movie... and i knew it was going to be plain out bizarre...

All in all, i enjoyed the movie alot. Not only did i enjoy the movie... but i enjoyed the awesome sounds that came out in my surround sound. It was surely one of the best experiences i've had with my home entertainment system.

If you have a nice setup, and can enjoy a movie that was made in.. '82 i believe... and keep an open mind...

then you'll enjoy this movie..

Fo shizzle.

I wanted the briefcase but simply bought the $35 Target version. It is a compelling sci-fi. Some call it the movie with no ending. But it is great to watch.

Part of what makes it great is none of it is CGI, all traditional special effects. Probably one of the last of it's kind, if not the last.

If action and explosions are what you are looking for in a movie, this may not be the movie for you. The movie is more about what it means to be human than body counts.

Disc 1: The Final Cut
Disc 2 (DVD): Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner
Disc 3: US Theatrical Cut, International Theatrical Cut, Director's Cut, seamlessly branched
Disc 4 (DVD): Enhancement Archive (lots more bonus material)
Disc 5: Workprint

Bolded titles are the 5 cuts of the film.

You know the DIFFERENCE between Blu and DVD?

Blu makes THIS look GOOD.

Movie is still sick! If you like Sci-fi, get it.
