I'm gonna text your boss and tell him to make you work late

I'll probably be working late anyway with the amount I've got on right now...

In that case, throw a sickie tomorrow and watch the whole damn thing back to back, curtains drawn and pop corn on the go... I'll keep schtum, honest...

I'll keep schtum, honest...

Yeah right. A few pints in you and you'll sing like a canary!

It's fucking cool! The box is the same type used in the Superman collection. Five discs, cool little plastic image which moves if you twist it in the light, and other bits and pieces, nice!

 

[Structaural]

*goes to order*

 

[Kid_Eternity]

It's fucking sweet! The menu system is pretty neat too (it uses the photo imaging thing from the film). Starting watching the Directors Cut last night and it's still as good as when I last saw it.

Mega bump. Got the 4K disc of this a few months ago and only now just got round to watching it. Wow. What a transfer.

The very first thing that struck me was the chairs. Glad it wasn’t just me. Blu-Ray.com got this bang on. When a 4K transfer of 80s films is done well it’s stunning. Grain included. Gotta love that grain.

The combination of 4K resolution and HDR encoding highlights numerous fine details that have been there all along but now command new attention. I never before focused on the crisply stenciled "Tyrell Corp." on the chairs in which Leon and Holden sit during their fateful encounter, but now that logo is sharply visible. The textured vertical striping on the bow tie worn by Dr. Tyrell during his meeting with Deckard rises out of the frame, adding yet one more item to the genius tycoon's list of sartorial eccentricities. The individual strands on Rachel's oversized fur coats stand out vividly, making both the coats and their wearer seem even more out of place. (Who wears huge fur coats when it's always raining?) Individual stars in the sky above Batty as he descends from his meeting with Tyrell blaze more brightly, and more of them are visible. In the scene where J.F. Sebastian sits at his dining room table surrounded by his family of genetically engineered toys, more of Sebastian's odd creations can be seen clearly, even those at the edges of the frame, expanding the group of onlookers who will watch helplessly as Pris and Batty enter and Sebastian begins to grasp his dangerous predicament.

Warner's UHD of the Final Cut brings some of the most influential visuals in movie history to the home theater screen with a focus and intensity unmatched by any but the finest theatrical presentations. It's one of the handful of discs to date that truly delivers on the promises of 4K. Watching Blade Runner on this disc is like seeing the film anew. Everything you remember seeing is there—and more.

You had me at chairs.

Faulty replicants are the best sort - if Johnson had malfunctioned properly he would have squished Thatchers eyes.

I've seen things you remoaners wouldnt believe. Universal Credit on fire off the shoulder of IDS. I watched Jennifer Arcuri glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate.

In the film, its raining all the time. They should have had everything on fire.

Oh look its the obligatory and lazy 'lets compare todays tech to the imagined tech in the film':

Blade Runner's vision of tech in November 2019

Gets off to a poor start by attributing things to Ridley Scott that came from Philip K Dick.

They got it spot on (if you happen to live in Wales).
