I think I'll stick with the $35 4 Disc version. I'm looking forward to seeing this final cut. I think it is cool of them to include 4 (I think) different cuts of the movie on these sets as there seems to be so much disagreement among the fans about which one is the best.

I've only seen the 1992 Director's Cut version, without the narration, should be interesting to see what all the fuss is about.

My wife says I can't buy it. Something about the holiday season is involved.

Okay, I don't get it... 5 discs for one movie? A 117 minute movie? Why? There can't be that many extras, can there?

Okay, maybe there can be that many, but why would you want that many?

EDIT: Just read one of the comments on Amazon. Seriously, 5 different versions of the film, a feature length documentary, and 8 - that's E-I-G-H-T - featurettes? Serious overkill.

You can't overkill Blade Runner.

Been waiting for this for years. YEARS. That Amazon place-marker has been there since 2005. Hopefully this set won't get canned.

I've been waiting for Harrison Ford's gun from Blade Runner to go on sale.

I agree with you, Ford's naration made the movie much more enjoyable.

The voice over made the movie make more sense. Without it, it seems far more post-modern. I'd call Blade Runner one of my favorite movies, but I'd never pay that much for a single movie.

Big thumbs-down to the tacked on voice over. I will like having it on DVD (well, Blu-Ray) for posterity though.

Yes, I admit it.... I like artistic cinema without dumbing it down! I'm so ashamed!

I'm also one of the voiceover haters. They completely ruined the ending scene with the voiceover.

As far as the box set goes:

I also dont' think I'd want to see all the "magic" behind the making of the movie. Some things are better left unearthed. Although, I would love to hear Harrison's commentary on the voiceover. I heard that the producers made him do it after the movie was complete, and he really didn't want to. Which is what came out as a really terrible voiceover in the theatrical version.

Moi aussi.

Yep.

You think they would have thrown in the Bladerunner game considering how much real estate they had to work with. I don't care if it was svga, it was fun

SommerMatt hating on the haters? What is the world coming to? Then again, you *are* evil, so you would like that atrocious narration and tacked on happy ending, wouldn't you?

And obviously, I'm so getting this. I've held off on picking up Blade Runner because this thing has been rumoured for so long, and the existing dvd is so rubbish.

Arise!

Mind you, I (meaning whoever in my family splurged for it this X-Mas) didn't drop all the dinero for the 5-disc set (just the Final Cut and documentary), but I honestly have to say Blade Runner is and always will be one of the top sci-fi films of all time. If I had to do a top three of the genre, this would be second just behind Stanley Kubrick's 2001 and just ahead of Fritz Lang's Metropolis. What makes the latest release so special (from a movie buff's standpoint) is the "Dangerous Days" documentary outlining all aspects of production from when Philip K. Dick's story was first optioned to the reaction from such sci-fi luminaries as Guillermo del Toro and Ronald D. Moore over the film. Hopefully I can strong-arm my father, with whom I co-produce our own minor production company, into watching this documentary just to see how when a major Hollywood feature can go so wrong and yet be so right.
