    Editorial Reviews

    One of the most beautiful and visually influential science-fiction films ever made, Blade Runner established a futuristic film-noir style that combines and transcends the sci-fi and detective genres while pondering the nature of what it means to be human. Set in 2019, Los Angeles, director Ridley Scott's adaptation of author Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? stars Harrison Ford as world-weary android-hunter Rick Deckard, who slogs through the nightmarishly run-down, overcrowded urban dystopia that L.A. has devolved into, attempting to find and kill four escaped "replicants" -- physically superior artificial people bred for slavery. In the process of his investigation, he falls in love with a next-generation replicant (Sean Young), who is initially unaware that her human "memory" is largely implanted. Rutger Hauer, as the dangerous yet tragic replicant leader, and William Sanderson, as and infirmed, soul-burdened tinkerer who helped design the androids, turn in performances as stunning as the film's production design. For Blade Runner: The Director's Cut (1992), Scott removed Ford's noir-ish narration, changed the happily-ever-after ending (which had been added at the studios insistence), and added a short, dreamlike scene involving a unicorn that expanded Deckard's unspoken anxiety over his own murky nativity.

    One of the top 10 sci-fi films of 20th century.by Major_Tong

    August 08, 2009: I remember watchinbg Blade Runner in the big screen theater when it first came out in the early 80's. Since then, over the past twenty plus years I have enjoyed watching it again many times on both tape and CD. Now with the release of the Blu-ray 5-disc version I have another reason to go back and watch it again. Also, I think it has one of the most fabulous sound tracks for a sci-fi film. I have the movie sound track CD and enjoy listening to it when I want some soothing relaxing listening.

    June 04, 2008: I have taken another look at my past criticism of the Director’s cut. That fine-tuning improved and clarified the narrative. The added footage of the unicorn did the same. The two disc set was a great joy and the four disc set was well worth buying. I am tempted to write more, but the film deserves better than I can give it today. This is a great set to own. The film is a masterwork. The final cut is the best version. I think that the voice over can be fun to hear, but it adds nothing essential to the narration.

    What Parents Need to Know

    About Blade Runner

    Parents need to know that BLADE RUNNER is at times a very violent film with graphic and slow-motion depictions of people being shot in the head and chest multiple times. The last 20 minutes of the film are particularly violent. There are two instances where sex is implied. The main character witnesses (implied) bestiality in a strip club. There is brief nudity when one of the strippers showers. Drug and alcohol use is at a minimum; however, there is some drinking and smoking by the principal characters.

    Families Can Talk About

    Families can talk about the ethics of replicating humans. Replicants look and behave exactly like humans, but should they be treated as such? What standards are used to justify the treatment of people or things that are perceived as inhuman, whether they are created by us (as in clones or artificial intelligence) or not?
