As a huge fan of PKD I found the film tremendously underwhelming, It's analogous of "Blade Runner" and "Do androids dream", but without a decent film appearing. In that, the book is so much stronger, and the film actually comparatively weak and lacking in content and point. The best of the book is kind of in there, but the meaning removed. In the same way as Blade Runner, but the content isn't replaced with acting, direction, story or anything really.
I have studied Gnostic theory purely to understand the Valis trilogy better, and I found Scanner Darkly pretty poor.
