-I continue my descend into American cyberpunk cinema[^fn:1].
-I spent my formative years watching _Anime, art house_ and ignoring most of USA movies.
-This means I haven't watched a lot of the _cult_ movies out there.
-
-_Hardware_ is a 1990 movie about a killer robot in a post-nuclear world.
-Think of a mix of Terminator, Aliens and Short Circuit.
-
-I heard of this movie years ago, but it seemed to be noting more than a cash grab after the success of _Terminator_ - a movie which I  don't partially enjoy.
-After watching, I have to say that there was a of true in this assumption.
-But somehow I ended enjoying _Hardware_ much more.
-
-Not that the story is better - if anything, it is much simpler, or just plain _simplistic_.
-Say what you will about _Terminator_, but the basic premise was great.
-_Hardware_ on the other hand doesn't offer a great idea.
-This is a straight movie about a killer robot.
-
-However, I enjoyed it more, as it is much closer to what _Alien[^fn:2]_ achieved
-The entire action is encapsulated in only a few, closed locations.
-Half of the runtime is spent in a single apartment, where the _Mark-13_ robot shows up from to time a try to murder someone.
-Much like the _Nostromo_!
-
-This allowed the movie to be **stunning** visually.
-I loved every frame here!
-I know that most of the effect is based on fog and lighting, but I dig it!
-Just take a look at the gallery below.
-
-Another thing which reminded me of _Alien_ is how they handled the special effects of the _monster_.
-We see very little of _Mark-13_ - he is often hard to see, covered in darkness.
-From time to time we see his movements, and well.
-Hiding him was clearly a good idea... just like with the _Xenomorph_.
-
-All in all, I enjoyed the movie.
-I'm not calling it one of my favorites, but I enjoyed  every minute of its short runtime.
-
-I give it a `3.5/5`.

-[^fn:1]: I disagree with calling those movies "cyberpunk" as they lack the "punk" element... or most of "cyber".
-    No one rebels against the system, no one enters the _cyberspace_.
-    But following this definition, I am not sure if we can call any movie other than _Johny Menomic_ a _Cyberpunk_.
-    Often we put all dark-sf into "cyberpunk" genre, which limits our ability to be pricks about it.
-[^fn:2]: Aka "the clearly superior of the _Alien_ series"
