I just watched this last night and found it extremely boring and utterly long for such a small amount of story behind it.

That's Blade Runner.
It's a film that is supposed to be long, because it isn't just about the narrative. There's a whole other story out there in the background, in the cinematography. It's atmospheric, and to be atmospheric in the best way possible, typically that means really spacing the story out.
If you re-watch it and consider its depth as a film about what it means to be alive, and take in the additional touches of colour, music, and its shots, it's utterly beautiful.
It's not a film that's there to fill in a void with action and cool science fiction elements; those parts are often scattered throughout the film, slowly and subtly.
