Before cyberpunk came along, science fiction used to be a slow paced genre where armchair intellectuals debated the myriad possibilities of the future. You know, boring stuff like the fate of the human race. Finding meaning in the face of a seemingly indifferent universe. Pondering life forms utterly alien to ourselves. Then a man named William Gibson came along and spearheaded a genre that was neon-soaked, hyper-violent, and utterly cool. Like a Victorian child given a sip of Four Loko, sci-fi authors of yesteryear would have been rendered utterly catatonic by the high octane thrills of the modern day cyberpunk genre. It’s all about shooting first, hacking-in second, and asking the philosophical questions later (if there’s anyone left alive to answer). These films? They do cyberpunk better than any other. Here they are, the 10 best cyberpunk movies of all time.
Blade Runner
(Warner Bros.)Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner is essentially a cooler version of Phillip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, made more thrilling by the fact that, well, you don’t have to do any reading to experience it. Books are a thing of the past baby! Make way for the cinematic future! Speaking of futures, this story takes place in a not so distant dystopia where androids called “replicants” have released themselves from their corporate shackles and are now running amok in society. Hell yeah. The plot follows Rick Deckard, a “blade runner” hired to hunt down and eliminate rogue replicants. But with each synthetic body he peppers with lead, Deckard begins to wonder if those bodies contain a heart that experiences the same depth of emotions as he does. Empathy is a scare resource in cyberpunk futures, but Deckard just found his own supply – that’s gonna make his nine to five a lot more complicated.
