I finally got to watch Blade Runner.

So which one is the best one to watch first time round? I've never seen any of them, apart from one scene where Harrison Ford is in a warehouse and a mannequin turns its head and then attacks him.

Which version would you recommend to a Blade Runner newbie?

Oh yeah, most definitively. :D In my opinion, Blade Runner and Chronicles of Riddick are the only two games that have been successfully made from movies. And the other way around, now that is just painstaking for me to think about. :lol:

Yeah, the thing is he was quite shy/reluctant of dealing with Hollywood. But not long before he died he was actually shown a 10 minute preview screening of Blade Runner. And he loved it immensely, was filled with tears, he said it was exactly the world he had imagined when writing Electric Sheep.

I would recommend Final Cut, as it presents the most full-filled version of Blade Runner there is, not only when it comes to cinematically and visually, but it also clears up a couple of minor plot points (yes, very minor, but still).

I think the most important thing is when watching Blade Runner, disregardless of what version it is you choose, if keep an open mind when watching it. As this certainly isn't Star Wars or otherwise popcorn sci-fi movies, it is the thinking man's sci-fi.
I watched the Final Cut. I might go back and watch the others now however.

I concur with everyone who states this is a great movie. Absolutely fascinating! Never played the game, but might try it someday.

Hey Doc! Are you going to the midnight showing? If so, what night? Maybe we could meet there.

I'm planning to go. I don't have any preference between Friday or Saturday. One the one hand, Friday is good because, if something unexpected comes up, Saturday is still available for a backup. But if you have any preference, I can go either night.
