The entire movie embodies Cassette Futurism, but IMO the self-destruct sequence is particularly great. The entire process looks so satisfying that I probably wouldn't be able to stop myself from running it if I were one of the crew.

Is there any difference between different cuts in Story and Aesthetics? Or Is it same?

Yes. The original was butchered by studio execs that didn't understand the film. I've only seen clips of it, but it's pretty bad.

The final cut is what I and most people recommend. It's a small aesthetic and pacing change over the "directors" cut.

And definitely watch Alien too!

Other than the happy ending on some cuts providing a different tone for the ending, I don't think there's any difference in the story/aesthetics
