      It's absolute garbage but if you're into major cheese in your sci fi then yeah lol

      It's a cyberpunk film with early 90's aesthetics that takes place in the far future of 2021

      I mean... it's not wasting my time so far but it's a little cheese and I wouldn't pay for it

      cannot take Ice-T seriously and it's hilarious when he says outdated sci-fi dialogue

        I was watching the RLM guys discussing Hackers (1995) and they were talking about how adorable it was watching 90s era sci-fi movies try to explain the internet and imagine what it would become. I haven't watch Jonny Mnemonic in years but I imagine it fits very nicely into that.

            Oh my god the magic and intrigue that the internet held back then will never, ever be matched. I was gonna say someone should make a movie about it, but I guess the Matrix has that covered.

              Feels like that's not really the right vibe, if they could do a good Shadowrun movie though...

                They better go with 2050s tech, i want phone booth style cyberterminals, cellphones that weigh 2kg and hacking that's just a dungeon crawl where all hardware components are seperate rooms.

            That sounds like a reasonably plausible side channel attack, honestly.
