Bring back the Theatrical Release
588278
I saw the original theatrical release of Blade Runner and was dismayed years later to learn that the director's cut omits Harrison Fords narrative.  Why was the narrative removed?  I don't get it....  I want to buy a new, high quality DVD based on the original Blade Runner release where Harrison Ford narrates.... To me, the movie just isn't the same without the narrative sound track.

We all can bet that contractual blither-blather is holding back a proper redoing of this film and it's album.  Brian Lane, I'm guessing.  Otherwise this tripe quality of such great material wouldn't have been released.  Ragged print - what a joke.  Looks like a VHS transfer from some 3rd generation film after gathering dust for the past twenty five years.

I'm disgusted with New Line releasing this version on BluRay when the format can have both versions on one disk.
Blatant attempt the bleed the market. I just hope there aren't too many stupid people around to fall for this.
***PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS VERSION AND WAIT FOR THE EXTENDED VERSION***

Honestly, why are they even bothering with the theatrical editions? Anyone that cares enough about these movies to spend this kind of money for them on BR will want the Extended Editions, which are the only versions that exist as far as I'm concerned.

Edit: This is a review of the KOCH VISION Blu-ray, released in 2009!!  The currently available THUNDERBEAN release has been *lovingly* restored and is worthy of 5 STARS!!!

GULLIVER'S TRAVELS has been butchered by a combination of cropping and geometric distortion to fill (or almost fill) a wide screen TV.  The fact is that Hollywood movies made prior to 1953 were virtually all shot and framed for a 1.37x1 aspect ratio (all but identical to standard def TVs).  For years movie fans have been hounding television stations and video distributors to show films made after 1953 in their proper wide screen ratios.  Now that we have wide screen TVs the opposite situation exists, and it's the films made before 1953 that will suffer.  I urge people not to support this practice.  This is not a product that anyone who has an interest in movies should purchase.

This boxset will include Theatrical version, and you know the reason right? That's right, simply the greedy studios are planning to release later the extended editions so they can make more money out of you.

So it's up to you people, destroy this release by not buying it! If their sales are low the studio is gonna realize they can fool you. If you buy it anyway, the studio will know they can do anything they want and you're gonna still buying their movies anyway.

Don't buy this collection! and tell others to do the same!

I am writing this review for the unUltimate Edition as I didn't discover that the Ultimate Edition was only availble in Blue Ray so I was unable to watch it as I do not have a Blue Ray Player. I recommend the theatrical version if you are a comic book fan and I wish that I could have watched the Ultimate Edition.

A great film was TOTALLY ruined by FOX Cinema Archives not showing the film in the correct ratio. The film was shot at 1.1:85 not 1.1:33 as shown. I laugh at myself when they say that the film on dvd is being shown in a ratio more suitable to your TV. Obviously FOX are unaware that most people now have WIDESCREEN TV's.

I love the movie and have no issue with the picture quality.  But there are TONS of previews before the movie starts.  It plays previews for MINUTES before you could get to the main menu.  It is very annoying when you play it the second time or after.

This just in:  A new version of Casablanca is coming out because Warner Brothers didn't get a chance to make the movie they originally wanted.  New scenes will be amazing, even if they are stupid and have nothing to do with the movie at all.

Ok, just kidding.  But I have to admit that I belong to the camp that would like to have the original version of the films, without all of the extra scenes that have been added along the way.  Especially annoying to me is the Jabba scene in IV, which should have just been one of those "deleted extras."  And of course VI ends with a whole new sequence, and the Ewok celebration music is gone.  But even with the minor and major changes, the sound and video improvements are as good as any DVD set ever released.  And since there are no other versions available at this time (hint hint) we're stuck with this one.

Sorry but, this is pretty messed up to release the theatrical edition and not the extended edition at the same time.  Make everyone buy this first, then in a year or so, buy the extended release.  LAME!!

Absolutely horrified that a Cinemascope production was rendered into the JUNK category by converting is to Pan and Scan.
There should be a law against this kind of chicanery. We all have High Def TV's with wide screen capability these days so the "This movie has been resized to fit your screen" caption is obsolete.

You could kind of understand why they released theatrical editions before, maybe they hadn't cut the extended yet, maybe they didn't want to have to ship and extra DVD per package (due to DVD size restrictions) to reduce costs. Or the most obvious reason maybe they wanted to milk us of more money and the movies had just come out and there was lots of hype. But this time they have the extended cuts ready to go, with Bluray fitting 50GB of data they will be able to fit everything on one disk. Its just not right to pull this crap again, noone buy this, don't support this kind of behavior! Wait for extended edition Bluray!
