I have never watched Blade Runner. Earlier today I picked up the Bluray Special OMGWTFBBQ version that has something like four versions of the movie. As a noob, which directors/final/first/producers cut should I watch first? Here's what I have: The Final Cut US Theatrical Cut (1982) International Cut (1982) Directors Cut (1992) |
<------------------

The Theatrical Cut has the voice-over which helps to understand the movie. Once you've seen it, you can follow the Director's Cut easily. That said, if you've never seen the movie before, watch the Director's Cut first. Then when you watch the US Theatrical Cut, the difference will be more striking to you. The book is very good but differs from the movie. |

My personal favorite is the '92 Director's Cut. Blade Runner is one of my all time FAVORITE movies and I really consider this particular version to be the very best. It is a true film masterpiece, one of the best movies ever made. As opposed to the U.S Theatrical Cut there's no voice-over in the opening scenes (and honestly I kind of miss that) but the rest of the movie is phenomenal. There are questions raised in this version that are just not quite adequately addressed in the U.S. Theatrical Cut. I won't give anything away but make sure to count the number of Replicants - it'll make sense later. If you enjoy this movie even HALF as much as I do (well, and a lot of the rest of us) you're in for a real treat! |
Dead on. +1 |
I saw it in the theater and went back to see it again the next night. I never did that before or since. Great movie. Let us know what you think. |
