It came through the post in only a plastic envelope covering. These are DVD's in a metal tin as its a collectors edition. But because there was no bubble padding around it, it arrived with a big "DENT" at the top of the tin. A complete let down. But I was only after the films & not particularly bothered about the tin. Thats why I only gave it 4 stars. So the films were great but the packaging was terrible. I probably won't buy again if I want something in good condition. Shame.

Simply perfect science-fiction masterpiece. The various versions all have merit, but the Final Cut is the one to watch. I have purchased this film in many formats and editions, including now the UHD streaming version that has just arrived on Prime Video. I was concerned how it might look after seeing that some other older films look worse when they have been released on UHD streaming. My opinion upon initial viewing is that Blade Runner looks excellent. Very fine detail, vibrant colour and no noticeable grain, so no complaints so far! Definitely worth the upgrade from the HD version.

A classic
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 January 2008
It's only after I watched Blade Runner that I realised just how tech-noir and Sci-Fi indulged the 80's was. Along with the likes of The Terminator, this film was another milestone in film making were we were once again looking into the not-too-distant future, and a possible reality of our own appreciation of technology. The result of course leading to conflict; both morally and technically.

Providing you read the prolgue at the start of the film, you shouldn't have any problems understanding what does on if you keep an open mind. The plot is fairly straight-forward and see's Harrison Ford ('Dekkard') as an ex-police man who is called up to become a Blade Runner again; a special cop who can defeat a new type of civilian that's been created. A hybrid between a human and A.I, these 'Replicants' can match humans by looks and by nature... almost... The creator of these Replicants, Tyrell, discovered a way to give them emotions in the later models - by giving them memories to which they base current issues on.

To go deeper into the story of the film wouldn't be fair, because this isn't a fast paced film. The slow, orchestral and synth inspired music creates the perfect atmosphere for what has become, a corrupt society that rushes around, decadent of organisation or rules. What helps achieve this realism is that the future presented is not too distant - that being 2019. Though obviously we should take into consideration this was made in 1982, therefore its only not too distant now! Never the less, it does without the stereotypical images of hover-boards and bright clothes, and concentrates on the decline of society and any enjoyment in life.

In classic film style, Blade Runner diverts into many different paths that represent not just one plot, but a whole range of idea's, emotions, and possibilities the future has to offer. The plot proves how we may now marvel at the wonders of A.I, yet in the future, it could become the opposite. On a ground level scale, Ridley perfectly captures how afraid and vulnerable the 'modern' society is shots of people almost pretending to be happy. As the film explains, buy this time, they already have colonies of people on other planets. The remaining people on earth are the 'lowers' of society.

Blade Runner has over time become a cult film for many reasons. But few stand up to a couple of home truth's that make this film amazing for people, like myself, who love features that are directed with perfect composition. In the dark and grim streets of L.A, and it's inhabitants apartments, the colour rhythm is phenomenal; in that Ridley Scott and the co-producers created sets that ooze character, and reflect the scene in question. One scene in question I find totally perfect is when Dekkard is sleeping in his apartment while one of the Replicant's is staying with him. It ends in him teaching her how to kiss and make love, because she doesn't have the experience or past-memory of how to use her tongue. Along with the beautiful music and typically lustful red and browny, it really taps into your emotions.

I think this film has to be watched alot more than once to be appreciated. The reason for this is because every time you watch it, you notice something different, or you get different ideas as to the meaning's of things. With an open mind, this is a film you can truly enjoy not for high-octaine action, fast images, or speed, but for its steady pace that in the end, leaves you with a smile on your face. Sometimes, it can leave you wondering why the hell its so good! The answer is that theirs too many reasons...

Blu-ray Disc worked, but DVD extras did not: likely not correct Region. Return was easy, but I wish Amazon would include the Region Code info online.

¿Que puedo decir? Es una gran película y en especial el “Final Cut” me parece la mejor versión. Y también tiene uno de los soundtracks más bellos que he escuchado, la música de Vangelis le da mucha personalidad a la película. Supongo que mi única queja es el empaque de la misma película. Cada vez los hacen más chafas. Vienen cuatro discos, pero encimados en las dos ranuras que tiene la caja. 600 pesos y viene en una caja de porquería. :/ ¿Discos encimados? ¿Enserio? No puede ser.
