Editorial Review:
Visually spectacular, intensely action-packed and powerfully prophetic since its debut, Blade Runner returns in Ridley Scott's definitive Final Cut, including extended scenes and never-before-seen special effects. In a signature role as 21st-century detective Rick Deckard, Harrison Ford brings his masculine-yet-vulnerable presence to this stylish noir thriller. In a future of high-tech possibility soured by urban and social decay, Deckard hunts for fugitive, muderous replicants - and is drawn to a mystery woman whose secrets may undermine his soul. This incredible 2-Disc Set features the definitive Final Cut of Ridley Scott's legendary Sci-Fi classic and the in-depth feature length documentary "Dangerous Days" and features all new 5.1 Audio.
Description of Blade Runner - The Final Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition):
In celebration of Blade Runner's 25th anniversary, director Ridley Scott has gone back into post production to create the long-awaited definitive new version. Blade Runner: The Final Cut, spectacularly restored and remastered from original elements and scanned at 4K resolution, will contain never-before-seen added/extended scenes, added lines, new and improved special effects, director and filmmaker commentary, an all-new 5.1 Dolby® Digital audio track and more. Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Edward James Olmos, Joanna Cassidy, Sean Young, and Daryl Hannah are among some 80 stars, filmmakers and others who participate in the extensive bonus features. Among the bonus material highlights is Dangerous Days, a brand new, three-and-a-half-hour documentary by award-winning DVD producer Charles de Lauzirika, with an extensive look into every aspect of the film: its literary genesis, its challenging production and its controversial legacy. The definitive documentary to accompany the definitive film version.

Blade Runner - The Final Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition) Reviews:
Collectors Item! 
2009-11-27 - I was 16 when I saw BR for the first time in 1982 and I still enjoy to watch it every now and then. Loved to see Rutger Hauer with dyed hair and a weird accent. The punch line of the story (Dick's artificial intelligence and the question about human rights) and the very darkness of the shooting, in my opinion, gives this motion picture his unique style which is still standing after 27 years and I hope there will never be a remake! The props and dressing are very much 80's, but thats gives BR a cult film status.
I ordered this package because I wanted to see the different editions of BR from the past 25 years: the original, the directors cut, the final cut and the workprint AND the deleted scenes. This gives you an idea how Scott struggled with the story and I how he was forced to make certain decissions in regards of the demands of the studio. Is Deckard a replicant or not, you want a happy end or a more dark end, what happens with Rachel and the voice over from Ford. Maybe in the future this box come with a editor selector: you can make your own version of the BR story by selecting your own favourite scenes!
Very enjoyable item with loads of backstage material. Haven't watched all of it (saved some for a rainy day!). Blu Ray is absolutely fantastic and the upscaling of DVD-material to Blu Ray standard works pretty smood. This is the ultimate gift for BR fans. I ordered this package from Europe and I received it within a week! Excellent service with a very fine price-quality ratio!
great deal, great packaging 
2009-11-24 - Appreciate receiving this collector's edition, which was in pristine condition, and carefully packed, such that it arrived in the condition it should. Thanks for the prompt service.
Great movie. 
2009-11-24 - I like this movie, i want to see the differents vision of this movie.
Music of Vangelis give me the creeps.
Restored print??? 
2009-11-20 - I just received this in the mail today. This will be my last purchase of this movie. In the past I have purchased the VHS tape, all of the standard DVD versions and now the Bluray 5 disc edition. I am disappointed. I was hoping that they would have restored the film but from what I can tell it has not even been touched. I still see dust and spots from the negative. Correct me if I am wrong but when you truly restore a film you correct all of that. Very bad restoration. I am tired of feeding this movie anymore money. Purchase only if you want your high expectations dashed into the dirt.
Blade Runner (5 Disc Complete Collector's Edition) Blu-ray 
2009-11-10 - This set is truly a Collector's Edition. Not only does it have the "voice-over" verison which I like best, but it also has the editions without the voice-over, as well as an international released edition. For fans of the Blade Runner movie(s), this is a must have! To make this movie set a real deal, price-wise, was getting it from Amazon.com.
