Lemmy needs more content that isn't about US politics right now so I'm making a random post.

What's the most obscure cyberpunk movie you've seen? Name a cyberpunk movie you don't think anyone else has heard of.

I'm not saying you have to think it's a good movie (or that you even like it), I just want to discuss obscure, unknown cyberpunk movies. Come on, let's talk about something other than politics here.

I wanted to like Mute but I really didn't like Paul Rudd's character in it. Overall, I think it had some good visuals but something about that movie just didn't work for me.

Did you like the movie? What was your favorite part?

I did enjoy the visuals and was okay with the protagonist, but lots of the story and most other characters were not really working out for me. I can't really put my finger on it why that is. But the soundtrack? Oh.My.God! Clint Mansell absolutely nailed it - like he always does! I've been following his career since his first soundtrack: Pi from 1998. Maybe I should mention here that I'm an ex musician myself.

My favourite Cyberpunk movie is Upgrade from 2018.

Upgrade was definitely good - should be on everyone here's watch list.

What is Cyberpunk?

Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.
