Anyone like BR82's ending?

This isn't a question of which ending you prefer, but whether or not anyone likes the 82 version's ending.

In my opinion, it works well. Many people seem to treat the ending as "happy", but it's just as ambiguous as the DC's ending. The only real difference being that Rachael is revealed not having a termination date, making her future uncertain. Will she die in four years? Will she have a longer life? A shorter one?

It offers only a slight glimmer of hope that they might be able to try and start over and make the best of what they have.

So, in my opinion, both endings work well, as they seem to convey the same message.

I know it could have been far worse than it is. Thanks heavens it is not.
It looks good, but not in the context of the rest of the movie. It looks seriously pushed and twists the mood of the movie to a completely different direction.

I *know* Blade Runner, so I hate that ending. ;-)
