-One plus of the linear-tv age of the past is that I've seen movies I would have no chance otherwise.
-Polish stations tried to put as many new blockbusters as possible.
-Other times they had to resort to movies of lesser fame, like the hero of the day - _Johnny Mnemonic_.
-
-Willian Gibson, the father of modern _Cyberpunk_ genre, doesn't have much luck when it comes to movies.
-_Neuromancer_ is finally getting an adaptation, but unfortunately it will be a TV show[^fn:1].
-His _Aliens III_ script was rejected.
-At this moment, his only legacy in this medium is _Johnny Mnemonic_.
-Luckily, it's an awesome legacy!

-This looks like something I want!
-Screw that plastic toy from Apple.

-The story is what he does best - a classic story in a cybernetic world.
-Johnny is a courier who smuggles information.
-The trick is that he is not smuggling them on tapes, but in his own brain.
-This time he overdid it and loaded too much data (320 gigs!) overflowing his capacity.
-He needs to get it out, and to do it _fast_.
-It won't be easy as the data is _hot_ and yakuza and gigantic corporation are trying to stop him.
-
-_Neuromancer_ is a heist story with a twist, _Johnny Mnemonic_ is a fugitive story with a twist.
-For what it's worth, I found the story to be great.
-There is nothing profound, nothing makes you scratch your head.
-It's story about a smuggler and the whole world trying to kill him.
-
-The worst aspect of this movie is the acting.
-It's Keanu Reeves at his most mediocre, single faced act.
-Even Takashi Kitano seems to be bored on set.
-I have no idea why, but **no** actor seems to be invested.

-But everything else works.
-First, the movie looks great.
-All special effects are selling distopian vision of near future - be it the scenes of high raise buildings, slums, or of cyberspace.
-It all looks like one would expect (no sky _the color of TV turned to a dead channel_ though, which is a shame).
-
-Talking about cyberspace, when have we ruined the way we talked about computers?
-_Johnny..._ has all the Gibson's words, like Ice-breakers.
-It's magical and hypnotic.
-We live in world of his novels (with corporations being more powerful than nations, internet everywhere, or the destruction of environment) but this is what we lost?
-It's so dull and dry!
-I don't want App, I want "visual interface".
-
-I may be looking at this movie through rose-tainted cyber-visors, but I was expecting a terrible movie.
-I saw as a teen and loved it.
-But somehow, after all this years _Johnny Mnemonic_ holds up.
-It's not a big nor overly smart movie.
-It's a product of it's times but does it marvelously.
-I loved it.
-
-[^fn:1]: It's a sign of the times.
-    Platforms want to get as much from every license, a _Neuromancer_ is as hot as SciFi goes.
-    This means that it will most likely be expanded into self-parody, with one unnecessary thread after another.
-    And _Neuromaner_ is already structured as a **movie**!
