Having seen every previous incarnation of this simultaneously amazing and disappointing film—the 1982 theatrical version with its clunky voice-over and cringe-worthy “happy ending,” the international version that circulated on VHS and laser disc with its additional graphic violence, and the 1992 “Director’s Cut” that took out everything that was bad in the theatrical version and added that ambiguous unicorn shot—there was no way I could not see the “Final Cut,” which is basically the director’s cut with some digital tweaking to correct the kinds of continuity errors that only die-hard fans will notice. Seeing this version has only confirmed my love-hate relationship with this visionary film—its breathtaking imagery is brilliance of the most rarefied sort, but it has an emotional void at its core that cannot be ignored, despite its heady ruminations on humanity and the future—but I will say that watching the three-and-a-half-hour making-of documentary on the five-disc Blu-Ray set has absolutely cemented my love of analog visual effects over digital.
