Default Final Cut of Blade Runner

I watched the the final cut version of it.

Besides quite possibly being one of the most boring movies ever made....what was so great about it that had people and sci-fi dorks (like myself) going all ga-ga over it?

I realize it was a product of the times and that maybe it's because back then the effects were cutting edge, but seriously,,,what's so great about that movie?

It's boring as yewt.

I loved it when it first came out. Haven't seen it since, though. At the time, the stark image it portrayed of the future was different than anything that had ever been shown before. It was ground breaking.

Like you, I saw it when it first came out and thought it was great. I think I've seen it one other time a few years later. It did show the future as pretty bleak.

I'd like to see it again to see if it's as I remember - a decent sci-fi flick.
