Blade Runner (Four-Disc Collector's Edition) Reviews

This is definitely a visual tour de force-especially with the new transfer on the DVD's. If you want to be challenged get the four disk DVD edition and watch Ridley Scott's final cut. It leaves more to the imagination than the original (which includes some expository narration and a strange ending). I personally prefer the theatrical cut because my favorite elements of the film was the noirish detective story and the voice-over helped to flesh out the world and give the film that hard-boiled feel. There are some spotty elements - likely due to a relatively small budget and multiple rewrites of the script but I, for one, can forgive them because the setting is so interesting.
