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.

There are hundreds of lazy low-budget cyberpunk movies that flooded the (direct-to-video) market in the 80s and 90s. Stuff like Crime Zone, Nemesis, or Omega Doom. So what cyberpunk movies can you admit are objectively bad yet still hold a place in your heart?
Bladerunner but only for the visuals
Yeah, but Bladerunner isn't a bad cyberpunk movie, in fact it's pretty much the gold standard.
That's like saying whats everyone's favorites "low key hike" and you say "Mt Everest"
I actually dislike Bladerunner as well. Great atmosphere and music, but didn't like the plot or characters.
Bladerunner 2049 was really good tho.
have the same vibes with the sequel. I don't know, those movies are simply not working for me, but I also never found the shortstory to be that good 🤷♂️
quiet subjective isn't it? I don't like Bladerunner at all and I mean every version of that movie...
I'm fine if you like it, but for me it's one of the worst movies except visuals and music
I mean the Sherpas that lead Everest tours probably don't think much of it, but for the majority of people, climbing Everest is a big deal.
Same for Bladerunner. The concensus is: Triumph
I postulate that you knew this would be controversial and that's why you posted it.
nope, just sharing my opinion.
And music.
fair enough
