Cyberpunk
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.
Cyberpunk characteristics include:
- Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
- Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
- Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
- Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
- Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.

My problem with these modern action movies is that the heroes are always trying to look so cool. Their presence on the screen feels shallow, like looking at their Instagram clips.
Give me the cool heroes of the 80s and 90s that acted like they were in the scene and not on a runway or in front of a cell phone streaming for their fans. This trailer is a big meh from me, but we'll see how the film pans out.
agreed
@bookmeat @Hammerjack They're so formulaic that you can tell what kind of action film it is based on their face and body. Not even the same actor, just the same cookie cutter look alike. The more the actor cost, the greater the over all production value. Brand name costs more than generic. But they all look and taste the same.
