It’s mostly 80s folks like me who can really appreciate this
While that is small demographic, the film was more interesting than MOST of the crap Hollywood puts out these days.
And the future of VR is already catching up with this, if you’ve seen some of the multi-directional running boards and VR glasses available these days.
Not to mention the multitude of virtual communities already in place.
Price-restrictive for most but then again...so were $1500 VCRs back in 1976.
For those of you pissing on and on with hate about it...get a life.
If you had a choice between spending money watching this movie over another pathetic remake or reboot...what the fuck film would YOU rather watch?
“Soulless CGI abortion”? Try AVATAR.
Nothing but fucking cowboys and Injuns with a wooden lead in an anti-imperialist story already told time and again for DECADES.
To be fair...it wasn’t ALL ‘80s culture.
But it takes the older generation to appreciate seeing the 1960s Batmobile crash in the opening race and Sho trashing the 1977 Pontiac Trans Am from “Smokey and the Bandit”.
Not to mention the BSG Colonial Viper, Buck Roger’s Starfighter, and the ED-209 in Aech’s shop.
How many of these loser millenials even KNOW what the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch is?
