-Finally, in my series of discovering the roots of cyberpunk in American Cyberpunk I've seen a real gem.
-
-_Colossus_ is a 1970 movie about a not-so-distant-future where Americans decide that it would be a great idea to give control of their military potential to a computer.
-On paper, it sounds great - a computer has no emotions, so it will not be stopped by petty things, like morality.
-Guess how well that turned out?
-Soon after switching on, Colossus learns about the existence of another such system - The Guardian, in the territory of CCCP.
-
-{{< img-c "colossus-1970-0001.jpg" >}}
-The movie starts with sexy old-comp scenes.
-Fitting, as Control Data Corporation supplied close to 5 million USD in computer equipment.
-{{< /img-c >}}
-
-{{< img-c "colossus-1970-0002.jpg" >}}
-Sexy!
-Rest of the movie is not as sexy.
-{{< /img-c >}}
-
-{{< img-c "colossus-1970-0003.jpg" >}}
-Colossus in person.
-{{< /img-c >}}
-
-And then this SciFi thriller stops being so _crazy-computer_ focused, and analyzes _crazy-human_ reaction.
-Colossus starts exhibiting features which were never implemented.
-It[^fn:1] starts _demanding_ to be connected with the Guardian, so they can communicate.
-And the scientist decide that it would be a great idea.
-The computers start exchanging data and developing language.
-Still - looks cool, let's see what happens.
-Only after Colossus threatens humans with ICBMs, Forbin (Colossus's creator) starts thinking that maybe this wasn't the best idea.
-
-{{< img-c "colossus-1970-0004.jpg" >}}
-At first Colossus communicates only via text.
-Funny, as those screens sound like matrix printers.
-{{< /img-c >}}
-
-{{< img-c "colossus-1970-0005.jpg" >}}
-This one as well.
-{{< /img-c >}}
-
-{{< img-c "colossus-1970-0006.jpg" >}}
-Because it has a printer!
-It took me half of the movie to get that.
-Guess I'm too millenial for that to be obvious.
-{{< /img-c >}}
-
-The movie is often described as an evil-computer story.
-Colossus is never evil in the movie.
-It does exactly what it was designed to do - to act without mercy.
-The evil ones here are the humans who never stop and think that maybe we are on the verge of the end of humanity.
-
-So yeah, it's an movie about Altman.
-We may have destroyed the civilization, but at lest we made a cool program which does things.
-No one know what those things are, but those are details you should not worry about.
-
-Story wise, _Colossus: The Forbin Project_ holds splendidly.
-Yes, we've got casual alcoholism and the female character exists only to have sex with Forbin[^fn:2].
-But the actual meat of the movie could be a base of an amazing movie today.
-The questions and subject are more relevant now that half a century ago.
-What was a huge _what-if_ scenario becomes a real _ok, but how do we stop it_.
-The Pentagon is already working on militarization of AI[^fn:3].
-We're pretty much screwed already.
-
-The best SciFi is not about giant battles or space travel for space travel sake.
-It's always about humans, a warning for us.
-And the _best_ SciFi is a warning for the next generations, as the threads become more real as years go by.
-
-There is a moment in the movie, where the entire day of Forbin is planned and monitored by an AI.
-What was a horror story, is now what a lot of us _expect_.
-
-_Colossus_ in a movie version of earlier book of same.
-There are 2 more in the series, and (as I've been told), Aliens make an appearance later on.
-Maybe someday!
-
-As for the movie, I give it a 4.25/5.
-
-[^fn:1]: There's an interesting discussion about what pronoum to use - He or It.
-[^fn:2]: It is a plot point!
-    A terrible one, but still.

-Talk about a surprise!
-I was expecting a _schlock_, but I've seen a nice move.
-A dumb one, but still.
-
-The plot is the biggest problem: a serial killer has an MRI and due to electric storm gets his soul moved to computer network.
-With this, he becomes able to:
-
--   kill person by moving to a microwave and changing its settings,
--   kill a dog by arousing it with a TV program (using nothing by electric breakers), then hitting the dog with a VHS tape ejected from a VHS player which causes the animal to run towards the pool
-
-It makes as little sense in the context of the movie as it does here.
-But the acting is (at the very least) acceptable and the FX are better than they should - and there is a lot of them.
-Moreover, the camera work is crazy!
-The movie _looks_ better than it should.
-It seems that this dumb, little movie got more passion in it than the entire MCU combined.
-
-The problem is that I have no idea what was going on.
-People were dying, cool computer interfaces were shown, but the plot barely connected those scenes together.
-
-It's a classic thriller from early days of personal computing revolution.
-I enjoyed it a lot.
-It is not a _good_ movie, but it is enjoyable.
-
-I give it a `3.0/5.`

-I ue 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.

-_Invasion of the Body Snatchers_ is a 1956 film about a town that's being attacked by aliens.
-However, the attack is not an all-out warfare, but instead slow replacement of town's folks.
-Everything that makes us individuals is removed, and all that's left is a souless husk.
-The body is replaced by a clone straight out of a pod, your memories are transferred - but your soul is gone.
-It can happen to you!

-Yeah, it's a _commie_ horror.
-Guess becoming part of a collective was the worst the authors could come out with.
-I have not read the book, but the film let me down.
-I saw it ages ago, and it was OK, but I remember very little.
-Now I know why - the film is extremely forgettable.
-
-The idea of being replaced by an identical clone, that _is_ you but at the same time it missing what makes you human is very cool - in a scary way.
-But the film does nothing with it.
-Everyone in the town is slowly being replaced by _pod people_ and only our main heroes are fighting for their individual selves.
-Even in the first act, where the replacement is just revealed, the characters don't show many emotions.
-Hey, let's put this strange body on our pool table.
-It will be good, don't worry about it.
-There is no suspense, nor are there any interesting reveals.
-
-_Invasion of the Body Snatchers_ is a very basic classic horror.
-It's not that it's old, as the same year we got _Forbidden Planet_ and _The Day the Earth Stood Still_ is 5 full years older.
-But somehow, this film became a classic with endless remakes.
-Technically, the movie is great - the acting, the effects.
-But story-wise nothing stands out, nothing stays with you.
-And I'm always in for the story!

-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!

-
-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**!

-I never got into 80s action packed ultra-manly movies.
-I was never fan of them, as action scenes bore me.
-There was, however, quite a few of them in SciFi setting so this site will force me to finally get to know them.
-
-So, _Running Man_ is a 1987 SciFi movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger based on Stephen King's story.
-In the not-so-distant future of 2017 the world faced an economic cryis and America became a totalitarian state.
-Captain Ben Richards (played by Arnold) is a police officer who refuses to massacre unarmed civilians.
-He finds himself to be government's scapegoat and, as a result, is jailed.
-After a prison break, he is once again captured - but this time he is given a chance.
-If he participates in _Running Man_, an ultra-violent TV show, he may regain freedom.
-
-There is a _bit_ more to the story, but not much.
-What is there, however, was a surprise!
-There is a plot and there is commentary about risk of fascist state, of controlling crowds through entertainment, and about controlling the narrative by those in power.
-_Running Man_ is _1984_ if Orwell wasn't so talented.

-The most offensive thing here are the costumes

-The entire world building happens in the first half an hour of the movie.
-The rest is an hour-long series of Richard's fights against _stalkers_, professional killers who star in the show.
-And I **have** to be sincere here: I hated the second part much less than I anticipated.
-Yes, it's over-the top and mindless, but it has nice gore.

-But mostly because of the montage.
-I remember watching the second _Avengers_ and absolutely hating it.
-Most of the movie was random characters fighting without any order.
-One _cool_ scene after another.
-In _Running Man_, on the other hand, I was able to follow the plot of the fight.
-I knew not only what was going on, but I also had a vague understanding of where the fights were and where characters were in relations to another.
-
-So, this movie is not a completely mindless fight scene.
-I should have hated it (like the aforementioned _Avengers_), but I did not.
-I haven't _loved_ it, or even truly _liked it_.
-Furthermore, I don't feel like I lost anything by not watching it when it was played on repeat on TV.
-But it's not offensive[^fn:1], it's not even boring.
-I _enjoyed_ it, but I will never watch it again.
-It's not one the great Schwarzenegger's movies.
-
-[^fn:1]: Enjoyment-wise.
-    The movie is very offensive with its sexualization of women.
-    But this very nicely matches the metaphor in the story.
-    This, however, would not be made with modern sensitivity.
