Re: New Blade Runner DVD
 

i've seen the last 'directors' cut in the theater.
and since this won't get a wide showing anyways,
i went ahead and pre-ordered the 5 disc set..i don't
think we're missing that much...unless you haven't
seen it in the theater before..

should be interesting seeing all the different versions,
especially the workprint..

I'm so filled with envy towards you and the films you're seeing!

Re: New Blade Runner DVD
 

It's opening in selected cinemas in the UK on 23rd November. Woohoo! I am lucky to be old enough to have seen this at the cinema when it was first released and I agree that seeing it on video/dvd bears no resemblance to what it should be. So if anyone gets the opportunity to see this, go! Now!!

This has also solved my annual "what the hell do I get Rick for Christmas?" question. :D

Re: New Blade Runner DVD
 

That's what I'm really looking forward to. I haven't seen that version in over a decade so my memory is fading about all the differences it had (I mostly just remember the generic score and Batty saying the original line of "I want more life...father").

Re: New Blade Runner DVD
 

finally, its out..
picked it up yesterday,
excellent packaging (got the 5 disc limited edition)
but haven't watched it yet..

I was very excited Tuesday and was going to go purchase the 5 disc set until my roommate instructed me not to as he got it for me as a Christmas gift and I have to wait another 7 days until I can open it.

I can't wait to dig into it.

Re: New Blade Runner DVD
 

so do people like the Final Cut better than the last Director's Cut? i'm still really unclear what the consensus was (if any).

Re: New Blade Runner DVD
 

The Final Cut feels and looks like the Director's Cut, just incredibly clean and tight. All the adjustments and tweaks are very subtle and minor and do not draw attention to themselves like a lot of the adjustments in say the Star Wars films.

It also sounded really great.

I didn't get to see it projected digitally, but I did see it a total of five times over about six weeks. It was playing at a theater where I know most of the staff and didn't have to pay.

Re: New Blade Runner DVD
 

what about the workprint?

Re: New Blade Runner DVD
 

The workprint is the first thing I think I will watch on Christmas day when I get the box set.

I can't wait to see it again. Also on the fifth disc is a feature on the various versions of the film that have been around all these years.
