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.

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 think the most obscure I've seen has to be Arès (2016)

I didn't know about Until the End of the World (1991) till recently. Can't say it was worth watching, but bounty bear was amazing.

Wow, I have never heard of this movie. I just watched a trailer and it looks very strange. I think I'll take your word for it and skip this one.

The U2 song is great too.

I'm learning a lot by googling these obscure movies. Apparently Welt am Draht was called World on a Wire in its English release and it's based on the same novel that The Thirteenth Floor (1999) was based on. Neat!

Of the movies I put in the picture above, I think Crime Zone is the most fun. It's still not a good movie, but it isn't nearly as painfully bad as Cyber Wars or Gene Generation. Here's a trailer. You can watch it on amazon and tubi right now.
