I don's see what is so great about this movie. I wathched it this week and I almos fell asleep

I love this film!
Strange how it gets released on my mum's birthday!
I wonder what extras will be on the disc.

(Queue dramatic classical music score)

It has begun, the day of reconning is afoot. Repent. Repent.

But seriously, finally. This flawed masterpiece is one of the greatest sci-fi films of all time.

Will this be a remastered print? I'm sure there won't be any extras on this. One of all time favorites. Can't wait for the new cut/box set next year.

I think this might be a two disc release Warner was planning before all the rights issues got cleared that made the thrid disc SE possible.

i guess this is not my type of movie. sure, it is well made and the performances are great but I just didn't like it

I thought it was going to be a 4-disc set, not 3?

You falling asleep aside, what did you find so boring?
Just curious.

There were long periods of silence and scenery, not much of a story that had me enthralled, the sound was horrible (it was on one of the movie channels) and was pretty much a forgettable movie overall.  

I guess I really didn't understand much of it either...

I think Matt may be right.

I may be wrong here, but I don't think the theatrical cut of this film is availible on DVD...yet. I think all the releases of the film is the director's cut.

Lets hope they do a good job with the print. A great movie and I for one have waited for this for ages...

For those having trouble comprehending/staying awake viewing 2001 or BLADE RUNNER:
RUN, dont walk, to your Doctor to perscribe for you Ritalin (Adderall) then RUN, dont walk, to your Chemist (Pharmacy)to pick it up.
Todays television, with its quick cuts, MTV and other mindless drivel have rotted your brains and killed your attention span.
Its called ADD, and its not pretty.

I too, am empathetic with those who need to see several car chases, crashes/gunfights/exploding things/haveing the plot explained to you via exposition/girls in bikini thongs, and cleavage about 15 times per minute of the film, or you are bored.

Some films try to set mood, to allow you to BE there, or feel the world being created-or to fill in some of the details YOURSELF..
Also, like a 95% completed Jigsaw puzzle, some movies try to get you to figure out where the last few pieces go, rather than having you sit there transfixed, and passively entertained like a pet rock.
Im not saying you should rent War and Peace, or Citizen Kane all the time,
but geeze-try to expand your horizons beyond ERNEST GOES BANNANAS, or
the latest Vin Deisel/Paris Hilton pic.

And verily, verily I say unto you, woe be it unto those who rent Tarkovsky's STALKER, or SOLARIS, and have not been cured of the affliction of ADD, for he haveth no future in the Lords coming world...

...just as long as they didn't like the Star Wars prequels.

though seriously, Boondock Saints is s**t. And I think a lot of enjoying film is enjoying what older films brought to the medium (though classifying Bladerunner as an 'older' film is pushing it). Without Bladerunner, we wouldn't have Batman Begins, because visually that's the look Nolan was going for. Even people who didn't like Bladerunner have to understand its additions to modern film language.

BEN DOVER is right. For those of you who fell asleep during Blade Runner and 2001, run out and get some drugs. Yes, that is the trick. "I'm high therefore I am". I like it. It is definitely the answer to this existential question.
