Blade Runner Now In HD – Today!

It’s dark, a little dreary and one of the most enjoyable Sci-Fi movies made in the 80’s. Blade Runner was released today in all its glory in high definition on Blue Ray and HD DVD. You can pick up a couple different versions of this movie today. You can choose from the five-disk Complete Collector’s Edition or the five-disk Ultimate Collectors Edition.

The Ultimate Edition comes in a replica of Rick Deckard’s briefcase. Also included is a lenticular motion film clip from the original feature, miniature origami unicorn figurine, miniature replica spinner car, and collector’s photographs, as well as a signed personal letter from Sir Ridley Scott.

Those who like Blade Runner almost speak about the movie in a religious reverence. Blade Runner is considered by many to be one of Harrison Fords greatest movies, even topping Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Although that is debatable, you can’t argue the fact that Blade Runner is an absolute necessity for any Sci-Fi library. Ridley Scott regards Blade Runner as his “most complete and personal film.”

This movie also features the actress Sean Young, who many of you may remember as Chani from the 1984 classic Dune. Sean plays the lovely replicant Rachael. Can you believe this movie takes place in 2019, just 11 years away? We have a lot of catching up to do if we are to have replicants in time for 2019! 🙂 I really enjoy seeing writers’ and directors’ visions of the future, even if it is often now in our past or in the not too distant future.
