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:
Excellent 
2009-11-01 - Ce coffret de 5 galettes est un vrai régal, dommage qu'il ne soit pas disponible en France. Donc ravis d'avoir pu l'acheter sur le site US d'Amazon. Enfin une version avec une bonne qualité d'image et de son, après plusieurs versions DVD commercialisées en France assez quelconques.
Bladerunner blu-ray - best Bladerunner yet...
2009-10-21 - viewed on a Panasonic 50" plasma via a Panasonic DMP-BD80 through a Yamaha RX-V869 receiver (5.1 speakers) and an HDMI splitter/amp.
as of this writing, i've seen all versions except for the workprint.
the final cut version on disc one is the one for me; gorgeous restored PQ throughout most of the movie. great details that i missed on previous DVDs. great AQ also. too many superlatives to list.
for the price, you get the best version of one of the most influential movies of the late 20th century, plus added extras good for days of watching. plus four other versions of Bladerunner!
The Ultimate Edition Sure IS!
2009-10-21 - I think the only thing I could ask for beyond what's on the five discs in this set is to have been on the set and actually THERE while they made the film. It's not just comprehensive, it's exhaustive, containing EVERYTHING about the film, from the first rough cut to the various theatrical releases to the final, definitive director's cut. And in HD-DVD it's exquisite! Clear and sharp, it looks better than it did on the big screen when I first saw it. It's a great package for a really great film.
the best version ever 
2009-10-14 - A bit disappointed by the lack of French audio (thought it is written on the box!)
But the image quality is nearly perfect (I have an old DVD version which was so blurry last time I wanted to see it)
Still some noise on the black background...
An I have not viewed all versions and commentaries...
Thriller!
2009-10-12 - This movie prooves Harrison Ford is one of the best actors in the history of cinema.
