Blade Runner - The Director's Cut

Pros: Direction, Story, Acting, Cinematography, Score
Cons: This one hasn't got any

Blade Runner: Director’s Cut (1982) “I want more life, [father, $^@%#*](pick one)” Roy Batty Blade Runner is one of the few films I can think of that benefited from the so-called “director’s cut” - a version ...

Pros: Scott's Direction, Script, Look, Visuals, Score, & Cast.
Cons: None.

One of Britain's most commercially successful and prolific directors, Ridley Scott help create big, popular films ranging from the original sci-fi film Alien, the feminist chase flick Thelma & Louise, his 2003 quirky comedy heist film ...

Pros: Excellent visuals, Ridley Scott's direction, one of the few 80's classics
Cons: Quite slow, but I think this works to the film's advantage.

With wonderfully mesmerising visuals, excellent and poetic dialogue and deeply human characters Ridley Scott's science-fiction thriller, Blade Runner (1982) transports us to a not too distant future of interplanetary colonialism,...

Pros: Art/set/special effects direction is AMAZING. Ford and Hauer are great. Thought-provoking.
Cons: A bit slow, a bit confusing. Characters somewhat ill-defined.

Blade Runner. The simple mention of this film provokes in film buffs many different reactions. Some do not like it, finding it too dark, boring and don’t. Others love it and claim it is one of the best movies of the 80’s. I went down to the video store...

Pros: It's Deep
Cons: Slow At Time

"Blade Runner" is a sci-fi/film noir film. It's set in the year 2019, but it has a very 1945 detective feel to it. There are so many layers to this film, but I think the main point is about being human.

The Director's Cut is the only...

Pros: excellent acting, music, plot, and visuals
Cons: the plot is a little hard to follow at times

Simply put, Blade Runner is one of the best science fiction movies ever made. Directed by Ridley Scott(Aliens, Gladiator), Blade Runner is also one of the strangest movies ever made. From the acting to the music to the scenery, this movie is unlike any ...

Pros: A Landmark Sci-Fi Film, that most people already know about.
Cons: Slow moving plot. Not much action.

"In your eyes, The light, the heat In your eyes, I am complete In your eyes, I see the doorway to a thousand churches" Peter Gabriel - In Your Eyes 1982 - Blade Runner How does one start this the 24th review of Blade ...

Pros: Setting, Acting, Effects, Filmwork, Lighting, Ideas. Was the basic foundation for most sci-fi movies.
Cons: Ideas are dated. Theme is really not appearant.

Ok, so I originally gave this movie a 2.5 star. Upon more thought, I think I'm going to have to push it to a 3. Know that this is a fairly liberal rating... This movie when it first showed (I wasn't born yet) was a theatrical plump. Even today, if ...

Pros: Very well imagined. Sean Young and Rutger Hauer at their best.
Cons: Future-rama street lingo a little difficult at first. Dual sided format. Weak extras.

I used to tell friends that if you wanted to see what the future looked like you should watch "Blade Runner". That was back during the Clinton Darkness and I don't think I'm quite so pessimistic these days. Even after all the years since 1982 "Blade ...

Pros: It's a styalized and progressive look at the future.
Cons: The theatrical release is a LTTLE BIT better then the director's cut.

Pros: Production design and special effects.
Cons: characters underwritten. A leisurely pace.

The question the movie Blade Runner (original release 1982, director's cut 1992)--and the source novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick--asks is this: Is humanness a programmable quality? Can you impart humanness to a...

Pros: Excellent cinematography, structure and performance. A brilliant film.
Cons: Special effects may not be up to 21st Century standards, but still remarkable

This film is one of the most remarkable examples of science-fiction that I have ever watched. Due to the 1980's contexual fear of overdevelopment and urbanisation, as well as the realisation of the fragility of nature (depletion of the ozone layer, acid ...

Pros: Visual style, engages the audience's mind.
Cons: A bit languid. Could be faster in places.

Recently, I had opportunity to see Blade Runner, again. As I have since I discovered it, I prefer watching the director's cut. In in the interests of completeness, I'm going to discuss the movie and then the differences between the theatrical...

Pros: Visually and intellectually engaging
Cons: Ridley Scott shouldn't have told the secret

Blade Runner still gives exactly what you want, and then some. Happily, the Director's Cut removes the two primary critiques of the theatrical release: there is no voice-over, and no tacked-on Hollywood ending. It is a much better movie for this. If...

Pros: Layers upon layers of story, amazing future world
Cons: Confusing at times

Call it sci-fi, call it film noir, but the director's cut of "Blade Runner" is one of the most ambitious films ever made. The best part is, it's ambitious *and* good. Full disclosure: I haven't seen the original (with voiceover and...
