Blade Runner: Tears in the Rain

What we have here is a very creative take on a classic movie. First and foremost, the use of black and white is so effective it makes you wonder why Scott never released it this way in the first place. In addition, it's quite obvious that a lot of thoughts and planning went into the creation of this edit, for the movie remains consistent throughout even if the scenes have been reorganized. My only problem with the edit is the fact that the character of Gaff has been partially removed: prior to Deckard searching Leon's apartment, Gaff can been seen next to Deckard on the sidewalk, but seconds later he is not in the apartment. He could be considered a simple bystander waiting on the sidewalk if he was not to appear in a later scene (accompanying Bryant). Anyway, not very distracting for me to enjoy this edit!

As for the rest (music cues, editing, etc), this looked and sounded very professional to me. I look forward to watching future fanedits from ranger613. Speaking of the faneditor, I truly believe he did achieve his goals which were to offer us an edit from the replicants' perspective, and also present an innovative take of a movie he cherishes while being respectful to the source material. Thank you for that ranger613, I really enjoyed those 75 minutes from beginning to end!

This is a gret take on Blade Runner; it never would have occured to me that this interpretation could work, but it works and feels sufficiently natural that you could be forgiven for thinking it was intentional.

The black & white visual style works very well - I know a couple of folks had issues with the high contrast, but I thought it worked really well. The editing itself was invisible, with some excellently-executed transitions between scenes.

If I had a complaint, it would be a very minor one that the sound levels seemed to vary a fair amount. The variation isn't so great as to be a problem, I just found myself knocking the volume down once or twice after raising it to ensure that certain bits of dialogue were audible. This may be down to the source material.

All in all, I thought this was excellent both narratively and technically. Great work!

I love this edit for two reasons, one the pace of the movie is drastically improved and I think it may actually be a better narrative than the original (more on that in a minute).

The biggest thing is probably going from color to noir. It worked for me, but in the end I still wish it had at least a tiny bit of color to warm it slightly.

That said, this edit flew by with perfect pacing and a great telling of the story. At one point I wondered to myself, do I miss Deckard's story/point of view? The answer was no, from a movie going experience. It made for a better movie and ultimately makes me wonder if the original narrative just wasn't done as well. It's hard to say for sure, since I can't go back and unwatch it to be completely be subjective.

Anyway, very well done and one of the best fan edits I have seen to date. Thanks for all the hard work and looking forward to seeing your next one!

AWESOME!
This was fantastic and the high contrast black and white looked amazing. I very highly recommend this edit of this movie. I've never been a huge Blade Runner fan, so I have not seen it more than once or twice, so I was really watching this more or less without previous knowledge. I was worried that there would be plot problems in focusing on the replicants, but there are no plot holes that I noticed at all.
This feels like an excellent art house sci-fi movie. And your title is perfect! I didn't even get it until Roy Batty speaks the words near the end. This was one of my favorite fanedits I have watched. It was the right length too. It would have been easy for you to pad this, but I appreciated that you stuck to the story you were telling. Just damned good all around!

I can't say much without repeating what other reviews have said. In short, I really enjoyed this edit. It's an interesting, creative take on a classic. Well done. Highly recommended.
