Robocop was the first true Cyberpunk movie I've watched as a kid and I keep coming back to it every two years.

It does look 15 years old but still cool!

Matrix Resurrections was Terminator Genisys bad. It took real effort not to look away from the screen.

The action was weak with constant slow motion and no impact. Neo spends the whole movie spamming force pushes. Trinity's return made no sense and had zero buildup. Morpheus was turned into a meme. Smith was just some guy with no presence. The new crew was forgettable. The meta commentary was embarrassing and killed any immersion. It felt like the film hated being a Matrix movie and wanted out.

There is nothing left of the original Matrix in Resurrections. The cyberpunk core is gone. The hacker spirit is gone. The rebellion is gone. What’s left is a hollow, sanitized product dressed up in nostalgia. Neo is no longer a hacker. He is a corporate symbol repackaged for profit. The themes have been watered down to the point of meaninglessness. This is not cyberpunk. This is marketing.

Thanks! I hope to be able to keep it updated daily.

I would like to add a link to this community to https://cyberpunkhub.com/about . Any chance you could help with a shorty description?

Hey everyone, I’m a bit nervous about sharing this. I haven’t touched any code in over a decade, but recently I decided to give it another go. Back in the early 2000s, I used to experiment with basic websites as a hobby, and now I’ve built a small database of cyberpunk media, games, and literature from scratch.

I have a thing for cassette futurism, so the design is pretty plain. I hope it might be useful, and I’ll do my best to keep adding new entries regularly. If you notice anything I’ve missed or have any suggestions, I’d really appreciate your input.

Thanks for taking a look!

Congratulations! This community feels way more alive and current than Reddit one.

Entries are in order they have been added to the database. Whenever I come across something I feel might be a good fit for the database I am adding it manually.

Those are latest entries added to the relevant (Watch, Play, Read) sections. I'm not tracking user's behaviour in any shape or form. No cookies, no trackers, nothing.

For media it is all IMDB, for games — IGDB and for literature — Goodreads. I do agree that some ratings are absurd.
