Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Rating: 9/10 (27 November 2019)

When I first saw this on TV as a child, I thought it was boring. Later in my early college years I began to appreciate what a masterpiece this is. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? What a concept for a title. Philip K. Dick was original. The score by Vangelis sets the mood and is unforgettable.
The 5-Disc Collector's Blu-ray set from 2007 is the ideal set since it includes many versions including the theatrical cut from 1982 and the Director's Cut from 1992. The International cut is the same as the US version with more graphic violence.
There are a multitude of special features including deleted scenes, and many documentaries running over three hours long!
I love the restoration that this movie deserves. I was disappointed by one thing only: The Final Cut is not complete on my set. The documentaries clearly showed new special effects with some scenes restored to their intended glory. The Workprint and Final Cut clearly did not have the finished restoration effects that were promised. So much hype and in the end they seemed to have forgotten to include them. I checked disc 1 and 5; both are unfinished.
Maybe the Final Cut Blu-ray edition from 2011 has the completed scenes. My favorite version will always be the Director's Cut because it includes the unicorn dream sequence.
Take the Voight-Kampff test and put this cyberpunk classic in your collections if you are a replicant or a Blade Runner!
