The only worthwhile part of Johnny Mnemonic

Please, now that you've seen this, don't watch the rest of the movie, it's shit.

[@o.portista]

An underrated film, and an interesting one. I originally watched this in the January of 2021 again, as the film, and the original story takes place at that time. Real amazing, how they thought about how 2021 would be, and I guess they got something right, and I would say it would be the "Pandemic/Sickness". But in all honesty, a very interesting film, with a great cast especially with Ice T, and a young Keanu. Overall, great storyline, characters, and soundtrack added to it. It's worth watching, but you'd find how "interesting" this movie really is, literally. Kind of hard to describe this film, but as said it deserves its credit especially for a 1995 film, and worth a watch.

[@0x777]

Well... no. The underlying story already wasn't that good, and the movie was at best mediocre. There are a lot better stories by Gibson that could be turned into movies, the key problem is that Gibson doesn't understand computers. He knows story writing, and his stories are quite good to read, but they don't translate well into what really works in the world. He knows how to create worlds and how to write engaging and interesting characters, but he simply knows jack about the whole "computer stuff".

In this movie, its the rise of cybercriminals who make it so you have to use biological means to move data.

I know this is an opinion, and I'm about 5 years or so too late to say anything, but there is sooo much more than just this scene to Johnny Mnemonic. The movie itself may be a discombobulated mess with how it was handled and who was behind the camera, but if you look at it from a perspective of the short story by William Gibson, this was actually very easily a great adaptation of his work. Hell, he wrote it after all. The main reason, as far as I believe, why everyone seems to find this film on the lower end of the scale is because of the interference from Hollywood with Robert Longo's vision, where he was told to add characters and situations he thought were superficial. I'm glad they told him no on a black and white featurette for $2m, although they should have just put him on B roll footage, and brought in a director that had more under their belt than just a few music videos. All in all, with what there was, this movie was an excellent first attempt, and a good film... at least to me, but what do I know? I enjoy the Super Mario Bros film for it being a zany story rather than an adaptation of a video game franchise. I mean come on, Dennis Hopper with cornrows, dude. The actors did a great job, for the most part ("Jesus time" mr. Lundgren? Really?), along with the camerawork and story were pretty solid. The music score was by far some of the best though, which made the movie a much more enjoyable experience. I know its just an opinion, so I'm just giving mine. Take it or leave it.

Keanu has been successful his entire film career. I remember he did have a couple years where he kind of fell of in '96-'98, then I picked up a magazine that showed a really early preview of his next film that would be coming out the next year....it was a picture of Keanu on a rooftop with some lady with black hair wearing PVC, fighting some guys in suits.

@@zsewqthewolf1194 I guess I wasn't very clear haha I wasn't refering to using literal phone line infrastructure. I was refering to how he "dials" into a computer to connect to it. Imagine having today's critical internet infrastructure disabled because someone picked up the phone

[@zsewqthewolf1194]

@@catmage ah yes that, well to be fair on there part the internet was kept being hold back by the very same ISP and phone people as well. the reason we didn't have smartphones in the 90s because of those mobile company say and its real "we don't want to cell this because it will cut into oursells of our phones"

I loved this movie. Ahead of its time. Iphones, online translators, VR headsets, virtual worlds.

[@DevineInnovations]

I wouldn't say I "love" it, but I do enjoy it. People are just too critical.
