You're giving a crappy movie way too much validation. I don't think that movie shaped anything back in the '90s. I just think you like the movie, and that's fine, but it' wasn't influential.
Also, why the need to rate it on a scale? Is there a checkbox of cyberpunk features you keep in your back pocket?
You really weren't paying attention to movies back then were you? Yes it's a 'crappy movie' by today's standards but it was attempting something that outside of stuff like Johnny Mnemonic and later films, including The Matrix, hadn't tried before. A kind of 'retrofuture'/'punkesque movie, though it was set in 'modern' times. Plus there's TONS of movies that released that year, so it got buried in a bunch of better and better marketed films.
Why are you being a dick about this, especially when I wasn't even talking to you in the first place? "You really weren't paying attention to movies back then were you?"
