So dated... and a CD player?

I love this movie. Even was one of the 17 people in the world who saw it in a theater. But watching this 20 years later. Wow so dated.

Like its 2078.... the young soldier guy is using a CD player from the 90s? This is essentially like someone in the 1990s using an Edison Phonograph (google it). It wasn't even a miniCD like they always pushed back in the 90s. It gets worse when you consider Petter Wellers opening scene has him listening to some sort of MP3 in his office.

Can you think of anything else that this movie was careless in?

Nobody foresaw all the ways the Internet would ruin traditional media back in the 1990s.
