Friends, I think many can agree that Bladerunner tops the list as the best Techno Film. For me, because of the human elements of the film. It is a very realistic story, people trying to make sense of their realities and not being sure of what exactly is real. Love that.
AI- Artificial Intelligence...almost. The movie should have ended with that robot kid at the bottom of that backyard swimming pool, after he almost drowns his "brother". It makes a better short film. All that nonsense in the 2nd half of the movie, total Spielberg...cute, friendly robots, garish color... etc...eeech! How about Soylent Green? Pretty f'n scary predictions. Read the book, see the movie, see current events. (For that matter: The Omega Man and the original Planet of The Apes. Charlton Heston was on this socio-political kick in the late 60's and early 70's when these films were made.) Oh! the original Rollerball, with James Caan. Great vision on what/ how corporations will run our lives in the future. Peace, Louis
