Blade Runner: The Penultimate Cut

I gave myself sometime to sit and digest the edit, and I've come back 23 days later after watching the first time and mid-way through my second viewing with one of the included commentary tracks. All I have to say is I am seriously impressed and glad to be able to watch it in this form, it improved the viewing experience and felt entirely seamless. Amazing work.

After years of having watched the original "Director's Cut" of this movie and appreciating the rich colour grading, I nevertheless was disappointed at some of the moments missing from the story which were included in the Final Cut. By taking the final cut and regrading it, TM2YC has edited a movie which I personally would consider the closest to Ridley Scott's original vision for the movie. Very well done.

All I can say is just WOW! I own the five disc blu-ray collectors set, and for some reason have only watched the Final Cut for the longest time, never liked the harsh teal tint, but it was a solid movie. Watching the original home release to see why everyone seems to dismiss it, and the FC, this edit quite literally the penULTIMATE cut, loved it from beginning to end.

All the care and love that went into this… It’s impressive.

Video quality is the best that can likely be achieved, considering the different sources needed to get this edit, as well as the blending of shots from different editions.
Audio is on point, and the extent of options available is a very nice touch.
The cuts are a beauty to watch, they’re seamless all the way through.

The highpoint for me is the color palette, the film looks stunning like this.
The narrative is mostly inspired by the version on 'The Final Cut', that’s the smartest choice imo, although it ended up increasing TM2YC’s work by a lot.

The other many small changes make this edit a pretty much perfected version, and this is the best way to enjoy the film.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? This is one of the best edits I've ever come across anywhere. The quality is amazing, the movie feels fresh and beautiful and new, and there's even SUBTITLES, PEOPLE! The color balance is fantastic, which I really appreciated. Incredible work by TM2YC.
