Johnny Mnemonic - 2/5

This is a very dated film, a relic of its time. The plot mostly holds together, and though it drags in a few places is still a pretty solid keep-away plot. The cyberpunk aesthetic is a solid iteration of the genre and there are some clear precursors to The Matrix scattered around the film’s runtime. Its biggest rough spot is its painfully archaic CGI, but many will be able to get a good chuckle that this was ever good enough quality for a Hollywood film.

Closest comparison: It’s like a mashup of Blade Runner and Mad Max.

Setting: Cyberpunk
Plot: On the Run
Tone: Action
