a lot more style over substance, and the style wasn't all that great either.

The British poster clearly states at the bottom, the date '3/5/10' which is, in Britain, the 3rd of May, which is a Monday this year.
Clearly, either:
you are off to see some sort of pirate copy; or,
the Americans are trying to infect the rest of the planet with their illogical date system - the one that only they use.

Although something tells me the original didn't have the voiceover, that was the second version to hit cinemas, along with the added happy ending from the Shining footage

for a moment there I thought you were saying they tacked outtakes from The Shining onto Blade Runner in order to create a happy ending.

then we got the third version which was more violemt than the US release and then there were another 3 versions after that!

I think I may have tried to see all the versions, about 20 times each!
But unable to stay awake through any.
I even have the sound track on vinyl and CD, so I'm honestly an interested fan of the film.
But it just knocks me out when it's played!
I can't help it, it's like Heroin for film buffs! : )

Someone on here recently said it was a very good kids film and so that was the attitude that Mr Space Bunny and I took along with us.
After all despite our advanced ages we still go to the flicks to see kids films if we like the sound of them so we thought this was a sensible attitude to take.
And we had a thoroughly enjoyable time because of it. Had we gone with the intention of seeing a good adult-oriented SciFi/fantasy romp we would probably have walked out at the predictability of it all. But as that is a standard necessity of a film aimed at children we were expecting it and all was well.
Wish I had plumped for the normal version though. I only have good sight in one eye and much of the movie was blurred though some of the ferns really stood out in 3D. Most of the adverts I actually saw depth all the way through but not the film.
