Another vote for the final cut. I recently watched it with some family and then I watched the theatrical cut with them and they all said without any prompting or being given the back story that the Final Cut was a much better film.
Ford did the narration on the theatrical cut badly on purpose thinking there was no way the studio would use it, and it shows. Not to mention the Final Cut just flows better and makes Blade Runner one of the best films of all time. It’s so good that even though it didn’t stick to the book Philip K. Dick liked it.
If you can get it on Blu Ray it is well worth getting in that format. I got my Bluray boxset with all the cuts of the film and the work print a few months after it came out for about $40 and i didn’t regret it. As long as you don’t go in expecting a balls to the wall action movie you are in for a great ride. Blade Runner transports you to another world in a way that has never been match IMO.
Enjoy! 😃
