Amazon.com essential video: When Ridley Scott's cut of Blade Runner was finally released in 1993, one had to wonder why the studio hadn't done it right the first time--11 years earlier. This version is so much better, mostly because of what's been eliminated (the ludicrous and redundant voice-over narration and the phony happy ending) rather than what's been added (a bit more character development and a brief unicorn dream). Star Harrison Ford originally recorded the narration under duress at the insistence of Warner Bros. executives who thought the story needed further 'explanation'; he later confessed that he thought if he did it badly they wouldn't use it. (Moral: Never overestimate the taste of movie executives.) The movie's spectacular futuristic vision of Los Angeles--a perpetually dark and rainy metropolis that's the nightmare antithesis of 'Sunny Southern California'--is still its most seductive feature, an otherworldly atmosphere in which you can immerse yourself. The movie's shadowy visual style, along with its classic private-detective/murder-mystery plot line (with Ford on the trail of a murderous android, or 'replicant'), makes Blade Runner one of the few science fiction pictures to legitimately claim a place in the film noir tradition. And, as in the best noir, the sleuth discovers a whole lot more (about himself and the people he encounters) than he anticipates.... With Sean Young, Edward James Olmos, Daryl Hannah, Rutger Hauer, and M. Emmet Walsh. --Jim Emerson

Rating: - "Runnin' But Not Necessarily Hidin'"
I have always been a sucker for blades of light coming through Venitian blinds, especially at sundown. Team that with some beautiful jazzy background music and I am a goner. BLADE RUNNER has a mother lode of these mood inducers, and all of the silhouettey, shadowy sci-fi special effects a person could want. I have also always been a sucker for 1940s pompadour hairdos especially when worn by Replicants in the Future. This movie is a feast for the senses. Harrison Ford and Sean Young are Young and Ford and young and beautiful--more perfection to add to the futuristic landscape. I am waiting for the jury to return on which DVD is the best to purchase.
Rating: - I would give it zero stars if i could.
Unbelievably terrible movie, and a terrible transfer. I'd go into more detail, but that would require that i think about the movie again, and i refuse to make myself do that.
Rating: - "Director Cut" is horrible
99% of the time when I buy a "Directors Cut", the movie is improved and usually the added footage makes it more enjoyable if you are a big fan of the movie anyway. This is a completely different movie. It's funny; the one thing in the original movie that has been copied in countless movies is the narrative "feel", and this has been removed in the directors cut. I am going to try to sell this because I will never watch it again.
