This is the way to watch Blade Runner!
The removal of the narration is definitely the biggest improvement here. It seems odd to me that no other edit does that. The cuts are seamless and the technical quality of this edit is impeccable. I especially appreciate the removal of the scenes that make the Replicant seem like intrinsically bad people. The "trapped Rachel" scene was incredibly unncessary in the original, and this edit doesn't suffer at all from its removal. This edit makes their ploy more believable, and more relatable to the viewer. Deckard is also shown, obviously, as a good man, making the story morally nuanced.
I definitely recommend you watch this edit! It's definitely replaced the original version for me.
