Have you ever watched the movie Elysium?
Anyone who like the cyberpunk universe should really check it out.

it was decent with some cool tech. i liked District9 better :)
both directed by Neill Blomkamp

Yes! District9 had a far better story, but geewiz Elysium feels like a live action cyberpunk mission. Corpo, netrunning, cyberware implants, stealing data, it is all there.

They even take down an AV carrying an important corpo-rat.

Yeah finally a thread with people who thought the same, completely agree.

No, can't say I have.

It's purely subjective, but overall I would place Blade Runner as ultimate cyberpunk work.
Altered Carbon first season is also one of the best works I've ever seen.
Neil Blomckamp did good job with District and Chappie, but I wasn't amazed by them. Too much punk, too little cyber.

I really liked how the AK looked in it.

Season 1 of Peripheral is doing a fine job. But no surprise as it's inspired by William Gibson's work of the same title.

Johnny Mneumonic is another good one. Might have the spelling off on that, not at home.

Virtuosity also.

[BigShowe]

All great suggestions!
Blade Runner w/ Harrison Ford was excellent, i have yet to see the new version.
Altered Carbon is so beautiful to watch. Ive only seen S1.
Chappie is super sad imo.
Back to Elysium: The Corpo Rat heist had phenomenal weapons, like the AK that just shredded. Oh the laser they used to cut into the plane!! I loved the cyber implant scene and they has a literal ripper dock. And when main character asked "Is this going to hurt?" and they all laugh at him...

Elysium is much more cyber :)

Did you notice the protagonist in District 9 is also the antagonist in Elysium? Both played by Sharlto Copley.

I somewhat enjoyed him playing the baddie more instead of the annoying MNU corporate guy that turns into a shrimp.

Then again, his best role... roles were in Hardcore Henry for me. XD

Bravo!

[BigShowe]

Whoa now....Hardcore Henry...dont get me started! That is a f****** masterpiece. I went to the theaters about 4 times when it was released. the "Jimmys" must've been a super fun role to play, the cocaine scene!!

Yes.
IMO, it's more like The Surge and The Surge 2 games.
