Rating: Summary: See the Director's Cut! Review: Perhaps the only sci-fi movie I have any time for at all, the Director's Cut is spectacular. The more ambiguous ending suits the film far better than the fairy-tale one (and if you disagree...let's just say you are wholly wrong and brainwashed by sitcoms), and losing the voice-over puts a better showcase on some of the best performances these actors have ever committed to film. Blade Runner is worth seeing for the visuals alone; the rest is just a great big bonus.
Rating: Summary: Best sci-fi film ever made in the history of mankind. Review: Since Shaw Run Run has invested this film in this brilliant film, he has shown this movie in his TV station in HONG KONG for many years. He has made a right choice of investment. In the past 10-years or so, all workaholics in Hong Kong (all nationalities)after work watch this film over and over again. It is just poetically beautiful in its settings, soul-fully sublime in its content, stylishly sensuous in its interpretation of the script, with striking imageries one can never forget. It is more than art. It is a piece of work that resembles the struggle of mankind. This is the movie that must be shown to our children in the future, and Ridley's message will certainly stay immortal. (Perhaps this is the only movie ever made that has substance, and artistically it encompasses all philosophies and cultures.) A true masterpiece!!! (Buy this film for private collection, it's just as precious as a diamond.)
Rating: Summary: BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL. Review: The old saying "If it aint broke why fix it" certainly fits this one, the original did not reach a cult status because it was so bad, it was a much better film then this version.I would give the original 5 stars but this get at most 3 stars.
Rating: Summary: Original VS. Director's Cut Review: The Director's Cut is much much better than the original. IF you've seen the original. It hits you more directly. By not having the voice over's you can concentrate on the movie itself more, instead of focusing on what he's saying. You moron's that didn't like it haven't seen the original 50 times. AMATEUR'S.....
Rating: Summary: Amazing and Terrifying Review: I finally saw this movie after my dad has suggested it a million times,my only regret is that I didn't see it sooner. This is simply the best Sci-Fi movie I have ever seen and more people should see it. This move forecasts our future as surely as all other future stories such as "Brave New World" and "1984". This view of what will my world would become scares me and I hope that people thinking of perfecting robot technology see this movie, because if you are looking for a bad guy in this movie look at the people who created the Replicants in the first place not at Roy Batty nor at Deckerd, they only played their part. A movie worth watching again and again.
Rating: Summary: I want the ORIGINAL. Review: 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.
Rating: Summary: A timeless Sci-Fi Noir experience Review: Well worth having, a directors cut by Ridley Scott himself, is worthy of a high award for true movie magic. With a dreary imagery of a future Los Angeles/Hong Kong mix, repleat with rain and a booze soaked detective, the new cut is a classic imagery of Filme Noir with a Science Fiction base, and a well made adaption of Phillip K. Dick's original work. The new version works on several levels, to include a Unicorn scene that ties in with the new ending, that develops and refines the underlying theme and character development. This is one of my top-shelf, A-list movies, and every time I view it, I find myself thinking on it for several days afterwords. A must have for the connoiseur.
Rating: Summary: A classic! Review: A classic in every sense of the word. Will be remembered as one of the best science fiction films, along with 2001 and Star Wars; and as one of the best of the decade, along with Raging Bull and Blue Velvet. This version is amazing: wide screen edition and that unicorn sequence leads to one of the most ambiguously shocking endings in film (move over Sixth Sense!). I first saw this film in my High School drama class and have been a huge PK Dick and Blade Runner fan ever since.
Rating: Summary: Incredible but the Original is Better! Review: The only movie I was required to see during my Greek Mythology class at Harvard. The professor thought so highly of this film that a whole class was tested on how Roy Batty was the classic Greek tragic hero. A wonderful story of what it means to be alive. I love this movie more than I can say, it is a masterpiece, the only movie I have ever owned in every format.
Rating: Summary: ZERO star rating Review: I probably should have payed closer attention to what the "directors cut" did not include. I thought the other version with Sean Young and Harrison Ford flying off together was definitely a four star rating. And that unicorn dream sequence? Whats up with that? My advice... don't waste your money on this one.
