Not a new question for the internet, but curious what thoughts are out there. Myself, I didn’t see the theatrical first. I saw the director’s cut on home video and eventually bought the final cut. Having seen all, I find myself preferring the final cut. Thoughts?
I always and still prefer the original/International Theatrical cut.
When I first saw Directors cut, I was kind of offended, it seemed all wrong to me without the narration.
I have later warmed up to Directors cut, but still prefer the original. I have no idea why it was considered confusing? It remains a masterpiece, that I still consider one the absolute best SciFi movies ever made, only later matched by the Matrix, and Terminator is close IMO.
I hear you. It’s at the top of sci fi films for me too. The sequel 2049 is also up there.
