-----------
To call this cut of Blade Runner long awaited would be a
heavy, heavy understatement. Its taken 25 years since the first
release of one of the science-fiction genres ship films to
get this far, and understandably, Blade Runner: The Final Cut has
proved to be one of the most eagerly awaited DVD releases of all
time.
And its been well worth the wait. Director Ridley Scotts
decision to head back to the edit suite and cut together one last
version of his flat-out classic film has been heavily rewarded,
with a genuinely definitive version of an iconic, visually
stunning and downright intelligent piece of cinema. Make no
mistake: this is by distance the best version of Blade Runner.
And its never looked better, either.
The core of Blade Runner, of course, remains the same, with
Harrison Fords Deckard (the Blade Runner of the title) on the
trail of four replicants, cloned humans that are now illegal.
And he does so across an amazing cityscape thats proven to be
well ahead of its time, with astounding visuals that defied the
supposed limits of special effects back in 1982.
Backed up with a staggering extra features package that varies
depending on which version of this Blade Runner release you opt
for (two-, four- and five-disc versions are available), the
highlight nonetheless remains the stunning film itself.
Remastered and restored, it remains a testament to a number of
creative people whose thinking was simply a country mile in
advance of that of their contemporaries. An unmissable purchase.

Synopsis
--------
Visually spectacular, intensely action-packed and powerfully
prophetic since its debut, Blade Runner returns in Ridley Scott's
definitive FinalCut, including extended scenes and
never-before-seen special effects. Ina signature role as
21st-century detective Rick Deckard, Harrison Ford brings his
masculine-yet-vulnerable presence to this stylish noir thriller.
In a future of high-tech possibility soured by urban and social
decay, Deckard hunts for fugitive, murderous replicants - and is
drawn to a mystery woman whose secrets may undermine his soul.
