Asking other people's opinions is a little futile since they are only opinions.
What kind of movies do you like?
One of the most remarkable things about this movie is that the original was done in-the-camera. There is NO CGI. The matte painting is remarkable. It's actually more realistic "feeling" than a lot of modern CGI.
The pace is slow, the editing is ... atrocious, the dialog is sketchy (depending on the actor -- Rutger Hauer's impromptu lines are the best), the continuity is laughable. It's still an amazing movie despite it's numerous flaws; maybe the flaws are what make it so good. And considering the basic concept of the movie, that in itself is thought provoking.
If you watch and you like the movie, I HIGHLY recommend getting the latest version with the bonus disk. You can watch exactly how the movie was made from initial concept to final distribution. Did you know that they wanted Dustin Hoffman as the lead? They even made up storyboards based on Hoffman's physique. Of course, you may not be interested in the how's of movie making ...
