I just got back from seeing BladeRunner: The Final Cut with my good friend Gabriel and it was absolutely amazing. This is one of those movies that I had only had the chance to see on lousy little screens. Seeing it in the theater is truly something else, and this version is so much smoother than the original (even than the directors cut); with beautiful, longer shots. The soundtrack and audio effects by Vangelis are outstanding and the overall ‘cleanup’ of the movie is pristine: you can’t notice at all where things were fixed or enhanced, maintaining the feel and flow of the original film.
Now I can imagine what it might have been like in the theater when the movie came out for the first time.
It’s currently playing in L.A. and New York only. Lucky us…
