The director's cut is particularly good. Not for the spaceship battle crowd, this is an intellectual, sombre and carefully crafted movie, dank and grim in theme and feel.

Good as it is, it is only a shadow of the story that inspired it, Philip Dick's "Do Androids dream of Electric Sheep?"

I have brought the 5 disc set, it's really good and worth the buy, and the film is really great.

Outstanding film when I first saw it in the theater.

a beautiful work of art, blade runner is a somber sci-fi detective story that asks the question, what is human?. the replicant characters, marked for death by the futuristic l.a.p.d., seem more human than human. poor inventions used as slaves with four years to live yet the ability to desire and enjoy life, to love, and to feel sadness. all they want is to live. this movie is my absolute favorite science fiction film to date.

If you have the attention span for it, Blade Runner is an underrated sci-fi masterpiece. It moves slowly, but asks some serious questions and raises fascinating issues about cloning/slavery/what makes a person. . .a forgotten Harrison Ford film. It's a terrific DVD rental if you feel like watching something different. Get the director's cut. . .
