My dad has the directors cut on DVD. Is this the one to watch?

I heard bad stuff about final cut, and also bad stuff about director's cut, and tons of bad stuff about theatrical.

I think they're all fine. The director's cut and theatrical are different enough that watching both of them is interesting. I personally prefer the theatrical, but mostly for the snappier pacing. Important caveat: I've read the book the film is based on (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Phillip K. Dick) so the movie made sense to me without further consideration. I've heard it can be confusing to those who haven't read the book; I'm not sure. It's a great book, though, and well worth the read. It's no "Flow my Tears, the Policeman Said" but it's still a fine novel.
