Johnny Mnemonic

Finished watching this yesterday on 2/24/2022 but originally watched it on January of 2021 where the film as well as original story takes place in and all I have to say is what an underrated film this was. Such an interesting film as well mainly because its based in 2021, and that they were predicting what 2021 was going to be like; thankfully 2021 was not like that but I do have to say its somewhat similar and they did predict one thing; a pandemic alongside sickness taking place which they were right as we have this awful pandemic taking place which has now been 2 years since it first started. Not sure why this movie gets so much hate but out of all honesty I do see some reasons. Overall, it was a very interesting movie, yes its kind of all over the place, interesting and difficult to explain but it did have a great storyline, characters, cast such as Ice-T as well as young Keanu Reeves alongside soundtrack. A bit creepy, and confusing in some scenes but other than that it was amazing. Plus the fact that its based in 2021, really goes to show how far ahead they were thinking/predicting which even though much that they predicted hasn't come fully true yet, it slowly is, especially with the chips and of course the metaverse being a thing now. Not only that, but the fact that its origins came from a book that was written long ago where things weren't as futuristic as it is now, really goes to show how futuristic the author was even if it cut short in the end which to me was fine as most stories end like that otherwise you'd have to continue on or perhaps have another film for but other than that it truly was truly an amazing film and a film that was very interesting to watch. Glad to have watched it especially in 2021 where its based in, and in 2022 once again.

I read a review saying this is just another Blade Runner ripoff, really give me a break how so? The movies are both dark and sometime in the not to distant future but that is a as far as they are the same. This movies deals with corporate greed and strange enough I can buy that. I am not a big fan of Keanu but for this role, human data transport .... he does work. The science maybe (is) dated but if I can excuse a few minor things the if is still enjoyable. I like this movie, I like Science Fiction in general and I also like watching movies I have not seen in several years.
