bargain. But first they'd have to be aware of the 2012 disc's existence. Apparently, like the film's was not supposed to include the 2007 set's disc 3, with three earlier versions of the film. But when reviewers opened their Fabrication (Sign of the times: Graphic Design, Fashion Forward: Wardrobe and Styling, Screen Tests: Racheal and Pris, The light that burns: Remembering Jordan Cronenweth, Deleted and Alternate Scenes) The extras are all on the included Blu-ray disc and are decent enough, with the promotional shorts and various production featurettes. The overall Atmos is an excellent one, with consistent activity in the height channels. Whether it's K's spinner, voices or Los Angeles' environment (it rains a lot), the height channels have weight and presence. The positioning and steering of effects are seamless as gunshots zip past, Spinners throttle across the screen and waves crash along the Sepulveda Wall in the film's climax.

Dialogue is centred for the most part, but can move round to other speakers to good effect. Atmos is well utilised in this aspect too, projecting disembodied voices with authority such as K's intimidating baseline test.It’s rarely heroic but it is committed to seeing the humanity in all its characters. Blade Runner has plenty of imitators, but there’s nothing quite like it. retail copies; see "Update" below).

There’s the original theatrical cut, the international cut, the much sought-after (and seldom seen) “workprint,” and a 1992 director’s cut that wasn’t actually a director’s cut. Finally, in 2007 and some 25 years after the film’s debut, fans of Blade Runner finally had the chance to see it as its director intended.

Warner Bros. has provided us with a bran new featurette for Canadian helmer Denis Villeneuve's highly anticipated new film Blade Runner 2049 (2017), starring Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Robin Wright, Ana de Armas, and Dave Bautista. The film is set to open in ... All Our Variant Features: From Work Print to Final Cut - Three titles split into individual featurettes, listed: From a character perspective, it's less successful. Robin Wright's Lieutenant Joshi spends most of her time speechifying, while Jared Leto's narcissistic Niander Wallace prattles on about Mankind's destiny. They're not bad performances, they're just clunkily written. The cult film found a bigger audience fed by re-releases of The Final Cut. That led to a sequel being developed, with Denis Villeneuve in the director's chair and Ryan Gosling in the central role.EnglishSDH, French, GermanSDH, ItalianSDH, Portuguese, Spanish, Arabic, Cantonese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Hebrew, Korean, Mandarin (Simplified), Mandarin (Traditional), Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Swedish, Turkish( less) While this is being marketed to the UK, those in Region A will be pleased to know the 1080 disc played fine in my Region A player. It's days like this one where I wish I had the technology to properly capture UHD images with HDR. I'm aching inside because I just can't do this review justice with images captured from the now ancient VC-1 Blu-ray of 2007. The visual improvement from that first Blu-ray release to this new 2160p 2.40:1 4K transfer is jaw dropping. That first shot of the dark and dreary Los Angeles left me wide-eyed. The amount of visual information and depth of feel was incredibly impactful. The first shot of those dark towered spewing flames with the obelisk Tyrell corporation buildings was stunning. As you get closer and closer to the practical models, you can see all of the little nooks and crannies with an appreciable amount of detail and depth. Then you meet Leon and his work clothes now have a notable crinkly plastic-like look like a cheap uniform on an old toy making him look even more artificial. Villeneuve has crafted a visual feast for the eyes. Using a mix of old-school practical effects and models with new digital effects, he created a beautiful yet horrifying landscape that echoes the world presented in the first film, but shows that humanity has stumbled further into a frightful dystopia where it rains all day, snows all night, and the sun rarely pierces the haze that lingers above Los Angeles.Roger Deakins captures every minute detail with wide expansive vistas and long takes that allow your eyes the freedom to wander. With 13 Oscar nominations and no wins, Deakins is long overdue for the Academy recognition he rightly deserves. I don't know if Blade Runner 2049 will be the film that nails it for him, but he plays with color, light, and shadow to create a world that is both beautiful and horrifying.

Many "Blade Runner" fans were aghast when news of a sequel was announced. Why would such a perfectly-formed film require a sequel, and how could it possibly live up the original? Those fears proved unfounded however when Denis Villeneuve took the director’s seat – arguably the greatest sci-fi director of the modern age, Villeneuve’s sequel, "Blade Runner 2049", tells an engrossing original story that still manages to capture the dream-like atmosphere of the original. It’s a modern classic.The Dangerous Days documentary, the ultimate look at the movie's difficult creation and controversial legacy

I bought this and scarface not knowing what to expect,I collect blade runner as it’s my favourite film and wow I’m impressed,great art,great looking box,love the numbered plaque. Whether it's the Brutalist architecture of Los Angeles or the trash mesas of San Diego, the artificial sunlight that drapes the Wallace Corporation's interiors or the arid beauty of Las Vegas, it's hard to look beyond Roger Deakin's Oscar-winning cinematography for how it contrasts the beauty and desolation of this world (although we still haven't been off-world). this release duplicates both the technical merits and supplements of Warner Brothers' own 4K product.
