 However, the biggest problem with /Mars Express/ is its older peers.
 This film takes from numerous other movies - not only the /big 2/, but also 2001, /Akira/, /Armitage III/, and even some Cronenberg.
 All of this works great - never have I felt that anything is a pointless reference[fn:marvel].

+
+There are movies which I absolutely despised when I first saw them.
+They were loud, obnoxious, made little sense.
+Some of them, with passing time, grew on me.
+
+Hackers is a 1995 movie about, well, hackers.
+We start with Dade, an 11 year old geek, being arrested for hacking and crashing over 1,5k computer systems.
+He is sentenced to the worst imaginable sentence - an judge imposed mandated ban on using computer system till he reaches 18 years of age.
+Somehow we don't care what happened during those years, as we jump 7 years in the future (which seem to be undefined "now" of 1990s).
+Dade is hacking once again, and as a result he joins a group of hackers and becomes part of an conspiracy.
+
+Say what you will, /Hackers/ takes the hacker ethos pretty seriously and this is what escaped my teenage understanding.
+All of the main characters (who are using simply amazing handles, like Zero Cool or Cereal Killer) break into system for the fun of it.
+They are prosecuted by the government and media portrays them as dangerous individuals, but they are anything but maleficent.
+
+Now, there is a plot where the entire group is messing with an FBI agent by hacking IT systems and modifying data related to him.
+That's the closest where they come to having bad intentions, but it's presented as a cool game.
+They don't want to destroy him, just to mess with him.
+
+The hacking scenes make close to zero sense - but that's Hollywood for you.
+We haven't seen serious attempt at showing it before /Mr Robot/.
+Therefore, we can see past it.
+
+The authors did made some research.
+In one scene, Dade is tested from hacker knowledge.
+A series of famous (and existing!) books is presented to him, and he names them with cure (also real!) nicknames like "Orange Book".
