How to get the correct disc for your Blu-Ray set
I bought this set from Amazon on January 1, 2009. Like other reviewers I too received a duplicate disc, the "work print" content on both discs 1 and 5.Just contact the Warner service hotline at: 1-800-553-6937. The operator I talked to was very helpful and fully aware of the problem. She took down my information to send me the correct disc 1 when they become available. She said currently they are waiting on more to be printed and it will take at least 3-4 weeks before they are available.*FYI, I rated this item one star to get the attention of folks who are having the same problem.2/10/09 UPDATE: I have now received my replacement disc 1 with the correct content so my set is now complete. I'd highly recommend you contact the number above if your set came with the defective disc.
Need The Voice-Over
Warning...without the voice over this is just another jumbled sci-fi feature...Harrison Ford's narrative gives more insight into the film and the other characters...The ending is just that an ending...you have to use your imagination...besides all the above the special effects are tremendous in giving us a very unflattering view of the "future". Harrison Ford is good as usual but Rutger Hauer steals all the scenes he is in...he was perfectly cast and it must have been written with him in mind. Please Please Please will someone release on DVD the original theatrical release with the voice overs!
I want the ORIGINAL.
I thought something was missing. Now I found what they were. Without the voice-overs and the final scene in the original release, this movie is totally flat. Period.
Great movie, DVD sucks
This is one of the worst DVDs ever put out. WB should be ashamed of themselves. To make up for it, as well as take more money out of our pockets, they are finally doing it right. They are currently doing a new BLADE RUNNER DVD. It's set for release in 2001. It will have Ridley Scott's commentary as well as others. It will also have production design sketches, extra footage, etc... I highly doubt we'll hear from Harrison Ford since he has yet to bury the hatchet with Ridley Scott. Save your money. DO NOT BUY THIS DVD.
Bladerunner the theatrical release
With all due respect to Mr. Ridley Scott, the very first time one sees an epic science fiction film of this proportion, it kind of sticks with you, indelibly. I've been waiting for the theatrical release of Bladerunner on DVD for over twenty years. It's about time!
Compared to the original motion picture, this was horrible
The first "Blade Runner" was so good, especially with the story being told by Harrison Ford. The director's cut did not include this and much of the story is missed. Also, there was a scene with a unicorn...quite bizarre. If you get the original motion picture in stock, let me know as soon as possible because this one (the Director's Cut) was a waste of money.
