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:

The director is not Denis Villeneuve, its someone who has never directed a movie before :(

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Ugh! Well, I guess that's the end of that.

Amazon Prime Movie is the new straight-to-video.

[–] nyahlathotep@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's a tv miniseries, not a movie.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Most Amazon Prime miniseries are the new straight to the SciFi channel.

is this real?? I cant take it seriously with that googly eye on her forehead.

[–] KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world 43 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Pretty sure that's a shot from "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once".

[–] HorreC@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

ok that is better, I thought these were all from the show and I was like.... am I missing something here. Thank you, I was.

Zero of the three images are from the movie in question. Even the one on the left is of Ryan Gosling's character in BR2049.

Probably because ‘@DiscussingFilm’ on twitter either doesn't have access to or there just aren’t any promo stills.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

That is likely the most award winning googly eye of all time

Is this another one of those second screen experiences? I can't get excited about these direct to streaming movies no matter how big the names and budget. Damn fools did it to themselves.

Its probably going to be trash anyway. BR2049 was really good. I also didn't know that it was released in tje same year the original blade runner was released. So much artistic talent and care was put into BR2049 and that's clearly not going to be the case here.

Like there were so many hidden things in BR2049. Such as the issues about AI and Joi.

[–] nyahlathotep@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

I'm... cautiously optimistic due to Fallout being a good amazon prime show.

[–] TheVelvetGentleman@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Great. Can we get a new cyberpunk IP though?

INTERGALACTIC: THE HERETIC PROPHET, a new Naughty Dog game in the works looks like it might be Cyberpunk themed. It’s SciFi at least.

[–] Hammerjack@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Personally, I think the video game The Ascent is the best new cyberpunk IP to come out in a long time. It's such a fully-realized world I assumed it must've been based on a TTRPG or something but nope, brand new IP.

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Didn't they already make this movie with the guy from Breaker High?

I am intrigued to see Hunter Schafer in it. I'll give it a shot.
