Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) prowls the steel-and-microchip jungle of 21st century Los Angeles. He's a ""blade runner"" stalking genetically made criminal replicants. His assignment: kill them. Their crime: wanting to be human. The story of Blade Runner is familiar to countless fans. But few have seen it like this. Because this is the Director Ridley Scott's own vision of his sci-fi classic. This new version omits Deckard's voiceover narration develops in slightly greater detail the romance between Deckard and Rachael (Sean Young) and removes the ""uplifting"" finale.... The result is a heightened emotional impact: a great film made greater. Most intriguing of all is a newly included unicorn vision that suggests Deckard may be a replicant. 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?' Is Deckard a replicant? As with all things in the future you must discover the answer to find yourself. [show more]
It's great that the powers that be are finally getting around to releasing this distopian classic on a worthy transfer at last. But why should you buy this on dvd?
The film is wonderful with Ford at his put upon heroic best, Hauer at his other-worldly best and Hannah at her, erm, acrobatic best!
But this disc is a vanilla release, sugar-free as well - there's nowt on here but the film, which may be ok for some.
But when you know that the film is being re-released in cinemas next year (just like Alien was) and more to the point, there's a 3 disc deluxe version coming out shortly too - why would you want this skinny effort?
Great film, so wait to get it on a great dvd package why dontcha?...
