Movies like Cyberpunk?!

[Schuetze_Klaus]

EDIT 24.12.2020
Thanks to all the People recommending all those good Movies!


Greetings!
Can you people recommend any good Movies/Shows like Blade Runner? I really like that Future Setting!

[Mr Jt (Gog is king)]

Bladerunner is still the best but there was one where people fought in vr or something like that but i don’t remember the name

Messaggio originale di lamacra:

How about "sin city" ?

Sin City is “neo noir” like Batman: TAS or Dark City.

Tank Girl was awesome (it’s a stupid movie but it’s just fun) but not really cyberpunk.

Others are:
WestWorld (the contemporary TV show)
TekWar
Minority Report
Thor: Ragnarok has some cyberpunk elements, the whole Sakaar setting
Total Recall!

Messaggio originale di Nussbaum:

I really like "The Expanse" (Amazon Prime), which imo is one on the best Sci-Fi shows of the last few years. It takes place in a time where humanity has colonized the solar system, but there are no fancy things like FTL drives, artificial gravity and fancy lasers.

Yeah i like it too but its definitely not cyberpunk.

Messaggio originale di SuperFly:

You need to go back to Cyberpunk school.

I haven't watched the movie in years, but there is literally nothing "cyberpunk" in that movie.

Brain-altering drug technology being utilized by a government/corporate conglomerate for societal control -- with characters from street pusher to undercover narc -- portraying double/triple crosses, infiltration, a big score, and low-lifes battling it out against the megacorporate man in their own little microcasm....

What is cyberpunk to you?
Neon and a robotic arm?

Because I have news for you...

Messaggio originale di 13east:

Ooooh how about The running man?

Rollerball?

Could even say Tron?

Tron could actually be cyperpunk according to the requirements that were specified here, although it is from Disney

Dredd (2012)
I, Robot (kinda)
Repo Men
Ready Player One
Mute

[Griever]

Jin Roh (the wolf brigade) is not cyberpunk per se, but is a sick anime too.

[silentgameplays]

More like books and movies that came as an inspiration to cyberpunk in general.
Movies(debatable with exception of Blade Runner)
Blade Runner (original and the sequel),
Ghost in The Shell(original anume and western version),
Matrix Trilogy,
Demolition Man,
Judge Dredd(2012),
Robocop(originals and reboot),
Altered Carbon Season 1 and lots of others including Tron.
Mad Max films also can be added to the list but its debatable and closer to Fallout/Wasteland.

Was "Equilibrium" allready mentioned?

'Tron' is pushing it because of the tone -- only console jockeys would claim that mess -- but yeah.
Mind/machine melding with an evil corporation bent on destroying our hero...

There's a whole mess of VERY low-key """cyber"punk""" films from the 70s and 80s that explore this idea without containing any of the tonal/visdual elements people would see as 'cyberpunk'.

'Dreamscape', 'Mind Snatchers', etc.

Messaggio originale di pidzi:

Im genuinely surprised nobody mentioned yet "Strange Days" movie. One of the Best light cyberpunk movies.

Jesus christ how could i forget this??? Its one of my all time favorite movies.

I mentioned it in discussion, not on a list.

It's my favorite cyberpunk film of them all. It is another perfect example of a cyberpunk film not being set in the future -- which requires characters to fit archetypes like street samurai, fixer, face, netrunner, etc.

Nobody mentioned "Apleseed"?!
