• OT: SF _video_ recommendation.

    From D@21:1/5 to All on Fri Nov 15 23:39:41 2024
    Dear rasw:ers,

    Please forgive me for leaving the politics aside for a moment. I just
    wanted to share that lacking new cyberpunk:ish movies, I've been forced
    into the anime realm, and started to watch Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12590266/).

    If you're not into animated japanese movies, it could be a bit of a turn
    off, but I do find it to be a charming fantasy of a future dystopian
    cyberpunk setting.

    I'm only 2 episodes in, but so far, I think they've done quite a good job
    with the concept.

    Now, after this brief interruption, let's get back to the Entry Denied
    2000 product and other political goodness! ;)

    I highly recommend _Mars Express_.

    And _Pantheon_ if you haven't seen it yet. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11680642/

    Based on the _Cyberpunk 2077_ video game.

    I liked the first half or so, but eventually it became too...
    exaggerated.

    Thank you very much Christian, those are saved for later viewing! =)

    To be watched.

    Wow! Pantheon had a great start so far! I find it very well researched,
    and so far no cringe moments in terms of technology from me! For anyone
    who enjoys exploring the transhumanist utopia of uploading I do recommend
    it unless you are put off by animated series.

    Thank you very much for this recommendation!

    True, but it kind of kept "in character", so I was not disappointed even
    if the style was very violent.
