DVD Reviews of Blade Runner (The Director's Cut)
DVD Review: "I never get tired of this one"!!
Summary: 5 Stars
"When I first saw this movie, I hated it! As time went by, (and I got older...lol) I see that I was missing something...A classic movie that tells the future, the way it can be, without going too far! Blade Runner is terrific"!!DVD Review: An incredibly beautiful-looking film as one would expect with director Ridley Scott...
Summary: 4 Stars
But it's almost like an art movie, the first science-fiction art film... It's a futuristic film beautifully put together... It's really impeccably made by one of the great visionary directors... And you really saw a future that looked very different from the future you had seen before... A future that looked very believable like the visual-effects shots of the flying car going over a futuristic city... The fight sequence doesn't prepare you for the traumatic emotional side that there is in the film, it leaves you sort of broken...
There is a beautiful, delicate emotional great scene that I remember when I first saw the movie... I'm in the theater and I'm so drawn in what Rutger Hauer's doing... I'm so drawn in by what the theme of the movie has brought us to... The magnificent moment where he is letting go of life... And in those last moments of letting go of life he's really learned to appreciate life to the point where he spares Deckard's life, and where he's even holding a white dove because he just wants to have something that's alive in his hands... It's an amazing sort of crescendo that's going and there's Rutger saying: "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. All these moments will be lost in time like tears in rain." Hauer puts all the things that are so amazing about people: sense of poetry, sense of humor, sense of sexuality, sense of the kid, sense of soul...
Scott brought out the best qualities in his performers... He coaxed and very gently manipulated performances from his actors that in some instances I think they've rarely topped... You feel the story, you feel the emotions of the characters and you will be lost in the middle of this wild world, you know, it's so rich and it's painful... I mean it's a very bluesy, dark story and told very compassionately...
The overpopulation, the sort of crowd scenes is so rich and varied and there's such an extreme detail designing the magazine covers, designing the look of the punks, the Hare Krishnas, the biological salesman, everything is designed... You have just Piccadilly Circus punks walking by... You have a sense of layers in that society... That is one of those things that you see again and again... The city landscape with the big billboards ? la Kyoto or Tokyo... Scott was able to create the look based on what goes on in various cities all over the world... Whether it is Tokyo, Kyoto or Beijing or Hong Kong or whatever, you're right in "Blade Runner" country...
"Blade Runner," to me, embodies the elegance, the power, and the uniqueness of a film experience... It's the most classical, beautiful, purest movie-making writing and then the film-making itself is... The images and the sound and the music, it's pure cinema... Ridley came out with an amazing, brilliantly executed future of an absolute dystopia... The intensity of his perfectionism on "Blade Runner" made the movie... This is a master at his best...

with no problem. I am happy with the way this worked. Linda
DVD Review: "Runnin' But Not Necessarily Hidin'"
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always been a sucker for blades of light coming through Venitian blinds, especially at sundown. Team that with some beautiful jazzy background music and I am a goner. BLADE RUNNER has a mother lode of these mood inducers, and all of the silhouettey, shadowy sci-fi special effects a person could want. I have also always been a sucker for 1940s pompadour hairdos especially when worn by Replicants in the Future. This movie is a feast for the senses. Harrison Ford and Sean Young are Young and Ford and young and beautiful--more perfection to add to the futuristic landscape. I am waiting for the jury to return on which DVD is the best to purchase.DVD Review: I would give it zero stars if i could.
Summary: 1 Stars
Unbelievably terrible movie, and a terrible transfer. I'd go into more detail, but that would require that i think about the movie again, and i refuse to make myself do that.
Description of Blade Runner (The Director's Cut)
The year is 2019. The place is los angeles. Where dazzling miracles of high-tech design exist amid runaway urban grunge. Hard-boiled rick deckart prowls this steel and mircrochip jungle on his newest mission Studio: Ingram Entertainment Release Date: 09/14/2004 Starring: Harrison Ford Rutger Hauer Run time: 117 minutes Rating: R Director: Ridley ScottWhen Ridley Scott's cut of Blade Runner was finally released in 1993, one had to wonder why the studio hadn't done it right the first time--11 years earlier. This version is so much better, mostly because of what's been eliminated (the ludicrous and redundant voice-over narration and the phony happy ending) rather than what's been added (a bit more character development and a brief unicorn dream). Star Harrison Ford originally recorded the narration under duress at the insistence of Warner Bros. executives who thought the story needed further "explanation"; he later confessed that he thought if he did it badly they wouldn't use it. (Moral: Never overestimate the taste of movie executives.) The movie's spectacular futuristic vision of Los Angeles--a perpetually dark and rainy metropolis that's the nightmare antithesis of "Sunny Southern California"--is still its most seductive feature, an otherworldly atmosphere in which you can immerse yourself. The movie's shadowy visual style, along with its classic private-detective/murder-mystery plot line (with Ford on the trail of a murderous android, or "replicant"), makes Blade Runner one of the few science fiction pictures to legitimately claim a place in the film noir tradition. And, as in the best noir, the sleuth discovers a whole lot more (about himself and the people he encounters) than he anticipates.... With Sean Young, Edward James Olmos, Daryl Hannah, Rutger Hauer, and M. Emmet Walsh. --Jim Emerson
