I was even lucky enough to see the digitally restored film in a movie theatre with a digital projector. A wonderful experience - also knowing that the rest of the audience were fans as well. Just sitting there in the dark, in complete silence, hearing the first chords of the intro and then that skyline...

I recently acquired the blue ray edition containing 4 different cuts of the film as well as commentaries and making of features. I'm far from having seen all of it, so I really can't answer that specific question. Over time there have been whole intertube communities dedicated to deconstructing the film and determining for once and for all
what it all means.
Personally, I am happy that there exists a movie which really captures Dick's view of our dystopian future, even if it has little to do with one specific book. The feel, it is right.
