A crew of low-lifes working with an android in a dirty old spaceship for a faceless corporation that treats them as expendable.
Obviously the movie is really scifi horror, but it does hit a lot of cyberpunk themes. So do you consider Alien to be cyberpunk? If you don’t, what would need to change to make it cyberpunk?
I usually include a trailer for the movies I reference but come on, it’s Alien. You already know about this movie.
It’s streaming on Hulu if you haven’t watched it recently.
There’s more biopunk here than cyber.
It’s set on a spaceship… I’m not saying you can’t have cyberpunk in space, but it takes a lot more than just a big corporation to turn a monster horror into cyberpunk.
Aliens, the sequel has more of the aesthetic I guess, and which sequel was that with the crazy doctor… That one might fit a tad more but it still has more bio in it.
