Deckard stalked in search of the renegade replicants who were his prey. When he wasn't 'retiring' them with his laser weapon he dreamed of owning a live animal -- the ultimate status symbol in a world all but bereft of animal life. Then Rick got his chance: the assignment to kill six Nexus-6 targets for a huge reward. But in Deckard's world things were never that simple and his assignment quickly turned into a nightmare kaleidoscope of subterfuge and deceit -- and the threat of death for the hunter rather than the hunted...

Advantages: Far more thought-provoking and poignant Disadvantages: Could be hard to follow without the voiceover

Bladerunner is a classic an innovative sci-fi. The Director's cut is by far the better version in my opinion. A lot more is left to the imagination and a great of significance can be drawn from small moments of cinematography. I always thought the voiceover was rather intrusive, especially in the emotional moments. The music by Vangelis says it all really.
This is something fans should not miss out on. For those who have never seen either version it comes highly reccommended. It raises the question of what makes somebody human. The plot is based around organic machines with a sell-by-date that don't want to die. I ended up crying for the 'bad guy.' Visually it is very strong, set in a rather dirty futuristic Earth.

Review of Blade Runner (Deluxe Box Set) (Director's Cut) (Wide Screen) (DVD)
Director Ridley Scott's hauntingly prescient vision of the not-too-distant future stars Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard, a retired police assassin, or blade runner. The Los Angeles of 2019 is a dark, polluted, overcrowded dystopia dominated by cloud-piercing buildings and looming neon billboards, the air dense with acid rain and flying traffic. World-weary Deckard has been called out of retirement to liquidate four escaped replicants--genetically derived androids of great strength, intelligence, and nearly-human emotion who serve as slaves and prostitutes in the off-planet colonies. Led by Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer), they've come to Los Angeles to confront their designer, Eldon Tyrell (Joe Turkel), with their unhappiness about the brevity of their four-year life span. In the course of his search, Deckard becomes romantically entwined with Tyrell's lovely assistant, Rachael (Sean Young), and must eventually confront Batty in an unforgettable rain-soaked sequence. A highly influential fusion of the science fiction and noir genres based on the novel DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP
