With the exception of the Blade Runner movies and Altered Carbon S1 why have all other attempts at Cyberpunk failed on the big screen?
With the exception of the Blade Runner movies and Altered Carbon S1 why have all other attempts at Cyberpunk failed on...
*and small screen
I'd say 'Minority Report' and the 'Total Recall' remake had some nice cyberpunck aesthetics.
Both Blade Runners flopped
yeah and black panther made a billion, is it a great film then
Better than Blade Runner
Alita: Battle Angel
flop
Sequel?
Looper was kino
>blade runner didnt fail
>yeah it did, it flopped
>MONEY ISNT EVERYTHING!!!
fucking stupid cunts on this faggot board
BR2049 didn't flop. It just didn't make near as much profit as they expected.
Nobody talked about financial success until your retard ass entered this stupid fucking thread
Since when is financial success an indicator of a film's quality? What the fuck are you smoking?
Could add Dred to that list.
Could for sure add Dredd.
It would have lost a lot on marketing costs.
It did flip, it had a budget of 180 million and made 260 million in the box office. Objectively lost money
Upgrade made three times it’s budget and got the director hired into a mainstream franchise
I don't like the movie but Ghost in the Shell was the fucking best Cyber punk imagery in a movie since Blade Runner. Took it to the next level rather than just repeating the formula imo. The movie being shit shows is a testament to what is wrong with most of Hollywood.
I didn't care much for the Ghost in the Shell cyberpunk aesthetic. All those big holograms being randomly thrown on the screen just for the sake of it. My main gripe with it was that it didn't look functional and believable. It was just 'dude, it's the future, bigass holograms lmao'.
Fair points.
>why have all other attempts at Cyberpunk failed on the big screen?
It's an ugly aesthetic and doesn't appeal to normies
Upgrade was a pleasant surprise. Alternate Dimension Tom Hardy is a pretty good actor
never
Because we're living in the worst possible cyberpunk future already.
Because we are already living in a cyberpunk world, we need something new
cyberpunk was only successful for a while because of the escapist/futurist aspects.
neither apply when you live in it
>It's an ugly aesthetic and doesn't appeal to normies
It's probably the most universally appealing aesthetic there is. Humans are drawn to pretty lights like moths to a flame.
It's not ugly at all though. Cyberpunk aesthetics are the only thing from the genre that normies appreciate.
This is shit I imagine a redditor would say for internet points.
We live in a world where everyone is disenfranchised and addicted to technology produced by the corporate entities that literally own the world.
How is that not cyberpunk?
that feely feelio when no Snow Crash flick
It wasnt supposed to be a documentary...
it literally was always speculative fiction based upon the direction the world was heading. Then it actually came to pass faster than anyone thought it would.
I can't wait for them to cast the biggest nigger in the world as raven and all the scenes where YT's vagina is gushing for him.
we wuz fallout crash-test dummies n shiieeet
Trannycuck 2077 is going to flop too lmaoooo
Man what the fuck happened to us? Look at that fucking thing. It's a pure stereotype. Fat, ugly, manhair and those fucking tattoos. In the middle of fucking Poland of all places. The last right wing bastion of Europe.
How did this happen to the west?
I'd say "just fucking kill me" but porn games are getting to the point where they're better games than actual games.
>thread literally about how most Cyberpunk movies flop on the big screen
>who said anything about movies flopping???
Hold on a second, what is this shit? Are these the same Slavs who made Witcher games with 99% white charaters and plenty of eye candy women?
The fuck happened to them?
They got woke.
Unironically hired a bunch of Bioware rejects from Canada.
>The fuck happened to them?
they got told to expand their audience from white males, so they hired tumblr to make their next game, that anyone was only ever excited about because of how they made the witcher series
Ghost in the Shell 2017 managed the impossible accomplishment of making the city seem busy and dense yet small and empty. Every establishing shot takes me out of the movie because it feels so weird.
They started as a tiny few people company, but the Witcher, especially the third one were such massive hits, that they obviously had to expand tremendously.
HER was cyberpunk
They said it made a profit of $60mil or something IIRC
Cyberpunk is inherently anti-consoomer so it is naturally not successful financially. Consoomer are unable to identify with the struggle of characters in a cyberpunk world because cyberpunk feels like heaven with a lot of stuffs to consoom so there shouldn’t be unhappiness in their eyes.
Demolition man?
It’s a niche genre that is only appealing to a group of people. It’s also deeply thematic and not some fucking action schlock like Star Wars.
are you just trying to name movies that aren't cyberpunk?
come on bruh you know that not to be true
I don’t know why studios think people will come out to see old Harrison Ford. His enormous salary is no doubt a pretty big chunk of the budget. Same thing with Call of the Wild.
well, "kino" has no meaning, so it could be.
Is this because trannies hijacked "transhumanism" and steered it from CPU brainchips and swordarms, into chopping your cock off and growing mantits?
its mostly because studios are run by people who think top gun was successful because it had a lot of fighter jets and any time a movie is unsuccessful its because of lack of fighter jets.
Demolition man is cyberpunk
It was literally coined making fun of an autistic person trying to force a distinction between movie, film, and cinema. Marketers then began using it to describe literally everything.
>Altered Carbon S1
no megacorps, no tech addiction, EF is a low-life but he's also low-tech, protagonist is a cop.
But hey, most people confuse generic dystopia for cyberpunk.
I liked how Scarlett Johansson moved though. In the tv series and movie she moves very gracefully with a certain lightness. Johansson moved very lumpily. Like you would expect from a 400 pound robot. Her movements had purpose, but she gave a sense of weight to it, there was no grace. Not what I expected, based on the anime, but it worked well.
There were a lot of parts in it where they skimmed too fast through it. Moments that merited a slowing down, but they just did it and went on to the next scene, totally killing off any necessary gravitas it would've had. None of the slow meandering. The pacing is too much like a Bay movie. And the cyberpunk aesthetics sucked.
I did like the way in which they made a mishmash of the plot of the tv series and the movie. But yeah, they skimmed through it, leaving no room for emotional involvement.
This is it mostly. Sci fi is usually a niche genre. Cyberpunk takes sci-fi a bit further and add a touch of social morbidity in it.
Star Wars wasn’t always popular among nomies. Star Wars is also popular more than other sci fi because it has fantasy elements and has pretty basic plot and a lot of nice action. The sci fi elements in star wars is not that science heavy.
