The voice over destroys the entire atmosphere of the movie for me, as does the tacked on ending.

Hate the voiceover, like the Directors Cut
The Future Noir book is detailed, informative and a damn good read , if you like the film, but is a bit over-detailed in places, the minutae are skippable in places.
Just as Lynch on Lynch is essential reading, so is this...just skip some of the fluff.

How did I miss this thread !?!
Firstly, excellent pictures to kick it off - if I was in the area (which, obviously, there's not much chance of) I'm pretty sure it would be the first place I'd head for. I'm not normally one for going to film sets but that one, especially the inside, is pretty special. Actually, I walk past the Get Carter car park twice a day, does that count ?
As to the versions, I'm pretty happy with both - having got used to the voiceover pretty much word for word it took me a while to watch the re-work without hearing it in my head. Now I can watch either on it's own merit. 'Without' is the more flowing and direct, but I love the noir quality of the narration - it fits the architecture and lighting very well on a very natural level.
Ending wise I'm torn - 'happy' has the fantastic Vangelis piece and isn't totally cheesy. You still know she'll naturally retire so although he gets time with her it's not entirely the Disney finality it might of been. The other ending doesn't have that pace to it but works by letting the film gradually slow out - as per the replicants and echoing the Batty passing.
Either way it's all top stuff and, before you ask, Pris looks better with the spray paint.........

Voice over, every time.
Makes it more Film Noir/Dasheil Hammet etc. which it was pitched as.

yes to all the above, might even get the proper sound track one day... the OST not the 'music from the film/based on/what i was working on at the time' by Vangellis.
i think the original got a lot of bad press once the re-edit was in the offing, and i still prefer the re-edit. The Chandler-esque-ness of it doesn't sit with the sci-fi of the film for me. Perhaps it is an age thing having not seen it first time round.

I read the book a few months ago and I thought it was superb! It makes you think about whats important and what makes us who we are.
when I was a lot younger I must have seen the movie but I can only remember a scene near the end.
