I have seen Blade Runner more times than any other film. Having taught it for nearly 20 years I know every line in 3 versions. Now we have one more. I can see why. With DVDs and freeze-frame some of the mistakes must have really annoyed Ridley Scott. So, only 4 replicants are now on earth, the stunt double is not so obvious when Zhora dies. And most importantly, the sound is now all encompassing. It fills the theater: you hear the rain gushing down; engines and machines roaring and whining; the whole cacophany in all its range and scope. Very impressive. The print seems brighter even though the smoky haze seems ever present and the soup below is as murky as ever. There's a little more clarity to the details and the externals of the buildings are crisper and more visible.
Seeing it on the big screen was a big experience. It still looks, sounds and feels good. And relevant.
