It's not. It's on a DVD.

And yes, I just realized I quoted you.

Yeah, guess for studios cheaper than the hinged cases (not sure if those exist in 4K UHD cases). Really hate those and even worse for TV season sets like Daredevil and Jessica Jones since I have to remove one disc to get to the next disc in the set. Here, where I'm only going to play the movie in 4K, it's not as big of a deal.

AVS has their review up. They describe this as "a beauty to behold".

Don't really care about this if the theatrical version isn't included in any quality. The HD-DVD set was great with FIVE versions altogether, but the discs containing the movies have rotted on me.

Re: Blade Runner in 4K UHD - 9/5/17

Here is a quote from the Blu-ray forum reviewer.


Compared to the dated Blu-ray, Blade Runner's UHD presentation can't help but look better, but it's more than better—it's astonishing.
This was the one catalog title that I was hoping would show off the format. It's the same title that I felt did that for Blu-ray ten years ago.

I agree 100%. It's a true reference quality UHD.

The theatrical version is included on a Blu-ray disc (with the International and Director's Cuts). Only one not in there is the Workprint Cut.

Re: Blade Runner in 4K UHD - 9/5/17

Picked this up finally from BestBuy (still had slipcover even) for $17.99 this week. Felt like it was finally time. I was very skeptical on the fence about picking this up mostly because I have the 5 disc blu-ray (yes, the discs are the way they should be ) and just really didn't see the point.

But...I'm glad to be wrong. The 4k disc is incredible, I didn't get a chance to watch the whole thing but what I did watch...freaking wow in both audio and video. I'm not sure why they rehashed the dvds from the 5 disc blu-ray package, but whatever . They really did a fantastic job on the 4k.

Curious question, sure it has been asked other places....but is there a 4 disc steelbook or UHD case that I can put this in? I absolutely hate this stacker shit.

Re: Blade Runner in 4K UHD - 9/5/17

I've searched around and haven't found anything concrete on what is included with the standard 4k set. Are the multiple versions of the movies included or do we just get the two special features discs?

Re: Blade Runner in 4K UHD - 9/5/17

I believe it is just The Final Cut.

Here's the short version: There is one, and only one, extra that is new to this set and unavailable with any other edition. That is the trailer for the Final Cut, which has been remastered in 4K and HDR and appears on the UHD disc. Nothing else is new, but many things have been dropped.

The UHD disc contains the same extras included on the Final Cut Blu-ray in the 5-disc Blade Runner 2007 edition, i.e., three separate commentaries and an introduction to the Final Cut (in 1080p) recorded by Ridley Scott in 2007. Warner has chosen to accompany the UHD disc with three of the five discs from the 2007 edition. They are listed below by their designations in the original set:

Disc 1: The Final Cut in standard Blu-ray. Note that this is the same disc released in 2007 on both Blu-ray and HD-DVD. It's a VC-1 encode on a BD-25. It contains the same commentaries and director's introduction as the UHD.

Disc 2: The DVD containing the excellent "Dangerous Days" documentary. As with the Final Cut in standard Blu-ray, this disc is simply a reprint of what was released in 2007.

Disc 4: A second DVD containing a collection of featurettes, trailers, deleted and alternate scenes and other supporting material. A complete list can be found here. Again, this disc is simply a reprint from 2007.


Omitted from the UHD set are discs 3 and 5 of the original 2007 set. Both were Blu-rays. Disc 3 held three previous cuts of Blade Runner, including the 1982 theatrical release in both domestic and international versions. Disc 5 held the so-called "Workprint", the discovery of which generated a new interest in Blade Runner's history. A commentary by Blade Runner expert Paul Sammon accompanied the Workprint. Disc 5 also contained a documentary entitled "All Our Variant Futures: From Workprint to Final Cut", which is an essential guide to how the Final Cut was created.

Yup, just the Final Cut, as confirmed by DVD Compare.
