I've just gotten the chance to see Warner's newly remastered Blade Runner DVD... and let me tell you, if you love this film even half as much as we do, the new disc is an absolute MUST have. The new transfer makes the original DVD - which was one of the very first discs Warner ever released back in March of 1997 - look like dog chow by comparison. Contrast, color, detail... all are dramatically improved with the new anamorphic transfer.

You bitch when the video quality isn't up to snuff. To me, not remastering a 2.0 soundtrack (for a movie like BR - old B&W movies wouldn't matter) into 5.1 isn't too different than a dvd that's not anamorphic.

The 2.0 mix is accurate.
I bitch when sound AND video aren't up to snuff. In fact, i'm MORE into sound than video so I don't know where you're getting that from.

DVDMANUK,
So how does the DVD look and sound? The previous release had poor video quality, but I remember that the 2.0 audio was not bad, even sounding like a tame DD 5.1. What do you think?

no5.1 on disc
WHY o why did they not make this dvd 5.1 im a bit pissed of with this as i noticed in small print the dvd is only 2.0 stero why why why ??? i think that dvd should be 5.1 or at leat DTS AS it a great film.why is it that with some old movies they can make it 5.1 and with some they wont this film is not that old as it came out 1991 i think it was.so why cant warner bothers make the efford and give the paying customer what we want also as noramall no index card as long as these money grabbing ****s make there cash they are happy.
ps my view is this dvd should of gone to high d or bluy ray with 5.1 or DTS. WHAT DO YOU THINK ?

I think this dvd should be 5.1, or at least DTS, as it is a great film. Why is it that with some old movies they can make it 5.1 and with some they won't. This film is not that old, as it came out in 1991 I think, so why can't Warner Brothers make the effort and give the paying customers what we want. Also, as usual, no index card. As long as these money grubbing ****s make their cash they are happy.
p.s. My view is this dvd should've gone to HDDVD or Blu-ray with 5.1 or DTS. WHAT DO YOU THINK ?

Hope this makes better sense.

Still doesn't explain why this should, without a doubt, have a 5.1 track.
IMHO, it shouldn't. Most remixed tracks suck.
