Movies like this?


Anyone know of any movies that are kind of like this. Like i know BLADE RUNNER and things like that but does anyone have any other suggestions?

reply

Dark city perhaps? Robocop to some extent (same city, augmentation, riots etc) and Ghost in the shell all share similarities. Apparently the developers even took inspiration from Johnny Mnemonic...

reply

I have seen all of those except Ghost In the Shell...which I own......maybe I should finally watch that

reply

If you haven't, it's definitely well worth it...out of all the futuristic dystopian-type films out there, Ghost in the Shell is probably my personal favorite, and that's a real rarity for an animated film for me.

Immortal (2004). My understanding is that the look and feel of Bladerunner was highly influenced by a comic series the writer/director of this movie had wrote and illustrated a while back.

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

The Bruce Willis movie Surrogates has a very similar central premise about a creator fearing what his creation has done to humanity.

reply

Minority report for sure. the look of the near future yet still looking realistic. and there is a gun in the movie that looks and functions exactly like the PEPS.

reply

Ghost in the shell is the closest imo. Watch stand alone complex, both seasons.

reply

Due to the music and general "ambience" of the game, it reminded me of TRON LEGACY..

reply

I'd also go with I, Robot (topics of humanity and augmentation) and Impostor (futuristic manhunt with a bit of stealth).

There are a lot of movies not quite like this game, but with similar themes. You might be interested in an episode of The Outer Limits dealing with a characters with similar motives as David Sarif and Hugh Darrow: Final Appeal (2000).
