I had never watched the movie before so will give an honest reveiw, not a hater or a fanboy, so to speak.
the upgrade to blu ray is amazing, considering this is a 1982 movie, a real treat for a true fan. however, the story does get a little boring in the middle and i could not help but think that too much talking and not enough action was the dish of the day!.
however. some of the scenes and actng is immense and you have to be fair and look at this film being an original concept, along with The Terminator, so you have to guve it credit for breaking the mould. it fits into its genre nicely.
to conclude, if you are a fan, then buy this, if your new to the movie, rent it first and then make up your mind as to whether its a keeper.
hope this reveiw helps
I think this Blu Ray Final Cut edition was a superb addition to my collection. This is certainly different enough to buy again if you have any of the other versions on DVD. The HD really added to the feel of the city, and as I had not watched it for a few years now, the new cut made it feel almost like a different movie. If you have not seen it before, highly recommended, and if you haven't seen it in years worth a revisit!
Considering Sir Ridley Scott is one of our finest directors it is a shame that the UK version of this classic pales into insignificance compared to the U.S. 5-Disc Complete Collectors Edition which features ALL previous versions of the film: 1982 Theatrical Version, 1982 Internation Version & 1992 Directors Cut with lots more comprehensive Bonus material & extras than can be found on this 2-disc edition. For less than £5 more I know which version I will be buying...With regard to the other reviewer, the PS3 is a very fine blu-ray player, probably the best around...
I saw this on here sometime ago and was going to buy it, but following a recommendation from another reviewer I bought the US 5 disc Blu-ray set, which contains 3 Blu-rays (region free) and 2 DVDs (region 1).
This version of the set for the European/UK market is an out and out rip off. It contains the Final cut, some commentaries, featurettes and that's about it.
I would strongly recommend anyone who is serious about this picture to avoid this one like the plague!
I'm sure the quality of transfer to blu-ray is just as good for the final cut on this version as it was overseen by Ridley Scott himself; however being able to see all versions of this wonderful and mesmeric movie, i.e. both the US & International theatrical cuts, the Director's cut, and the final cut as well as a copy of the original workprint (that has been as fully restored as possible from the source materials), is truly worth the extra expense for the US version.
Don't get this one!!
I bought the 5 disc blu ray version on playusa for the same price, that's exactly the same final cut blu ray + 4 other discs, the 3 other versions of the theatrical version all in blu ray and 2 other standard definition discs with 9 hours of extras, and brilliant documentaries. I was worried about buying a region 1 blu ray , but this works on a uk playstation 3... you'd be mad to buy the single disc version if you have a ps3...I can confirm 100% that you won't be sorry you went for the region 1 version, enjoy!!
