Hablando de otra cosa. Parece que la nueva edición de Blade Runner en UHD 4K es la reostia bendita. Po cierto, la nueva edición NO incluye el BD con la remasterizacion actual, incluye la vieja.

The Final Cut of
Blade Runner was assembled from multiple sources, including a high-resolution scan of the film's original camera negative as well as new effects originated and completed entirely in the digital domain. The final result was a 4K digital intermediate that was used as a source for the
2007 Blu-ray. For this new 2160p, HEVC/H.265-encoded UHD, Warner has returned to that 4K DI, with no further modifications other than the application of HDR encoding.
Unfortunately, the studio has decided not to accompany the 4K disc with a remastered 1080p Blu-ray, as it did with its recent UHD release of
Unforgiven. The 2007 Blu-ray is a low-bitrate VC-1 encode prepared for both Blu-ray and HD-DVD, and its age is showing. The Final Cut could look much better on Blu-ray than it did ten years ago. By failing to provide a remastered standard disc, Warner has missed an opportunity to sell this set to fans who haven't yet upgraded their equipment to 4K but would be willing to "future proof" their purchase for the sake of an improved 1080p experience.
Compared to the dated Blu-ray,
Blade Runner's UHD presentation can't help but look better, but it's more than better—it's
astonishing. The improvements begin with the opening logos, where the pixelated tree representing the Ladd Company unfurls across and down the screen without a hint of the flicker and aliasing that have been there on every prior version, including the 2007 Final Cut Blu-ray. The opening aerial views of 2019 Los Angeles have always been impressive, but prepare to gasp when the Tyrell Building comes into view, with each window, level and outcropping now sharply and crisply resolved. (The Blu-ray is blurry by comparison.) Throughout the film, the UHD's resolution reveals so much detail in the remarkable model work that it almost breaks the illusion of scale. If the cityscape were any clearer, you'd see that it was made of miniatures.
The combination of 4K resolution and HDR encoding highlights numerous fine details that have been there all along but now command new attention. I never before focused on the crisply stenciled "Tyrell Corp." on the chairs in which Leon and Holden sit during their fateful encounter, but now that logo is sharply visible. The textured vertical striping on the bow tie worn by Dr. Tyrell during his meeting with Deckard rises out of the frame, adding yet one more item to the genius tycoon's list of sartorial eccentricities. The individual strands on Rachel's oversized fur coats stand out vividly, making both the coats and their wearer seem even more out of place. (Who wears huge fur coats when it's always raining?) Individual stars in the sky above Batty as he descends from his meeting with Tyrell blaze more brightly, and more of them are visible. In the scene where J.F. Sebastian sits at his dining room table surrounded by his family of genetically engineered toys, more of Sebastian's odd creations can be seen clearly, even those at the edges of the frame, expanding the group of onlookers who will watch helplessly as Pris and Batty enter and Sebastian begins to grasp his dangerous predicament.
Warner's UHD of the Final Cut brings some of the most influential visuals in movie history to the home theater screen with a focus and intensity unmatched by any but the finest theatrical presentations. It's one of the handful of discs to date that truly delivers on the promises of 4K. Watching
Blade Runner on this disc is like seeing the film anew. Everything you remember seeing is there—and more

It's days like this one where I wish I had the technology to properly capture UHD images with HDR. I'm aching inside because I just can't do this review justice with images captured from the now ancient VC-1 Blu-ray of 2007. The visual improvement from that first Blu-ray release to this new 2160p 2.40:1 4K transfer is jaw dropping. That first shot of the dark and dreary Los Angeles left me wide-eyed. The amount of visual information and depth of feel was incredibly impactful. The first shot of those dark towered spewing flames with the obelisk Tyrell corporation buildings was stunning. As you get closer and closer to the practical models, you can see all of the little nooks and crannies with an appreciable amount of detail and depth. Then you meet Leon and his work clothes now have a notable crinkly plastic-like look like a cheap uniform on an old toy making him look even more artificial.
Considering that the 35mm elements were scanned in 4K and the 65mm effects shots were scanned at 8K with the restoration finished at 4K, this is absolutely the best
Blade Runner The Final Cut has ever looked on home video - and likely will ever look without another incredibly expensive restoration effort. Details are exquisite, from fine facial features to the intricate cityscape model work, everything is on display for you to pick over and parcel through. Colors with HDR are bright, bold, and beautiful. Black levels are deep and inky without any contrast issues allowing each frame to enjoy a terrific sense of depth. If you've got any friends out there unsure about 4K or just don't "see the point," this transfer for
Blade Runner The Final Cut should be the demo disc you use to wow them. I'm going to be running this disc again and again just to soak in all of the little things I never noticed before.

Clarity/Detail: Warner Bros, I am floored. You have done the most incredible work here on one of my favorite films of all time (Its usually Top 3 for me). I almost had tears in the rain from the moment I pressed play. From the LADD Company logo at the beginning to the final closing credit exiting the top of your screen, you will be utterly amazed at the restoration upgrade work done on Blade Runner. Details are abundant and the picture is incredibly clear. The moment we start with the already breathtaking visuals, they will once again take your breath away. The Tyrell building is a complete jaw dropper. You’ll then get the Voight-Kampff test with Leon and notice the cracked leather and logo stitching on the chairs that he and the implementer are sitting in. Blade Runner is a world we love because of the wear and the grime and now we can see ALL OF IT. Little flecks of snow, or water droppings are well rounded and much more discernible notable bits. HDR is applied handsomely too. Blade Runner is a film that begs for it and it is given its well deserved due. Warner Bros has put together the most impressive display of a classic catalog film that is now the gold standard by which they should all be judged. This has that feeling of seeing the film for the first time again. And for that, I thank you, Warner Bros.
Depth: Blade Runner has never looked so smooth or clean in its camera movements. Effects have always looked pristine, but this is a different level of zipping around for the flying cars and such. Characters move much more natural with a cinematic edge. Any instance of blurring or jittering do to quicker, rash movements are no longer present in this picture.
Black Levels: As colorful as we’ll discuss in the next section, Blade Runner is also a dark movie and this new transfer is deep, rich and very luscious. Blacks help things become more defined, but never resulting in any lost information. There are some very dark scenes in Deckard’s apartment that bring on a bit heavier grain, but its handled incredible well. Blade Runner has never look so natural in its darkness and yet been perfectly clean and visible at the same time. And of course, there were no instances at all of any crushing going on while I viewed the film for this review.
Color Reproduction: Blade Runner is the perfect movie to have the glorious HDR applied to it. There are many scenes where a filter that is blue, green or read will illuminate the screen, but its never overbearing and you can still make out the actuality of the natural colors beneath it, keeping the image still crisp. There are too many instances and highlights from the use of HDR to go over in this review, but if you’re a fan of this movie, you can just imagine where it is applied. The neon street lights, car lights, red glowing lights, candles…but my favorite has got to be the Tyrell building. As mentioned above, the windows have this blue glow to them and they are all wow’ing and individualized. The HDR use here isn’t abused either, its absolutely perfect. Even more regular things, like Edward James Olmos yellow vest and teal jacket look bold and strong. Naturals like Deckard’s iconic brown trench coat of the grimy looking apartments.
Flesh Tones: Skin tones are natural and maintain a consistent look throughout the film. Facial features are quite amazing and impressive. You make out pores, stubble, brush strokes on Pris’ painted face, sweat beads, mascara, lip texture, dried blood, glitter, wrinkles…you name it. For the age of this film, you’ll be very impressed with the incredible amount of detail your eyes can see on a face or skin from really any distance, like every bit of white paint on Roy Batty’s mouth from kissing Pris.
Noise/Artifacts: Clean.
