I remember the original version, with the voice-over, and width the happy ending and sunlight, and without the inserted unicorn dream sequence. I saw it when I was a kid and loved it.
The last edit of Bladerunner is still good, and the VFX "corrections" and digital image and sound upgrades are SPECTACULAR, especially on the big screen (I saw it last year when it was re re released).
How did it make me feel? When I first saw it, I found that I would fantasize about living in that world despite its dreary bleakness. Maybe it was because I thought "Rachel" and "Pris" were the sexiest things in the movies at the time, but probably the flying cars and futuristic cityscape were so awe inspiring.
Bladerunner is one of THE BEST Sci-fi movies ever made and will always be remembered as such. I hope the sequel coming out this year is as good.
