The finest moment with this narration has to be the moments described by Batty in his dying eyes and the summing up by Ford of this man/machines passion and love for life. I preferred the audience friendly screening which had the wonderful narration. For me,the directors cut is simply too cut. Its a mixed review depending on what version you have seen. This film also sees Ford in perfect casting.Theirs a rye charm that Ford has that no other actor could fake or fill quite as effortlessly. We have a true smelting pot of nationalities.The heavy eastern references within china town like inner cities is particularly poignant. Its a grimy,violent world inhabited by the sick,lower class,villainous second citizens who haven't quite made the grade for the off world colonies. It really does feel like a science fiction novel brought to life,but not so much as its derivative penned by Phillip K Dick(do androids dream of electric sheep?). What Ridley Scott achieved with this film,is an entirely possible scenario. Films which crudely grope into a possible time ahead,when perhaps a post apocalyptic era is scattered with cliché upon cliché and often miss the whole point.
There are a sheer plethora of futuristic films with vision.
