If the 1995 version was released in contemporary Cinema theaters


It would have flopped as well, as per my cognizance

Surely would. It was never a mainstream kind of story. Not back then, and I think not now. The Matrix lifted the theme to those heights though, so perhaps it could also...

However, what made the original stand out was its philosophy. And this one only skimped this part and primarily focused on the visuals. Beautifully as it was, it seem to miss the point a bit? And that is a shame imo. If it would have made it a huge hit if it did not, because of this, I do not know. Likely not.
