APOCALYPSE:
I will assume that many saw this a couple years ago. I literally just watched it recently. While it wasn’t perfect and had too much going on as well as many unanswered questions, it was a good Shadowrun like movie. This was literally the best way that I could show my wife what the Shadowrun world was like visually.

Thoughts or comments?

ROOTless:
I remember telling my better half "We're watching that!" - and never doing so. ;)
Thanks for the reminder!

APOCALYPSE:
Then look forward to thoughts after you see it.

ROOTless:
Have now seen it. Enjoyed it.
Was it pure Shadowrun? No.
Did it remind me of Shadowrun? Yes.
Was it entirely watchable? Yes.

They leaned a bit more heavily into the racism thing that we've usually done, maybe (probably) because it's more of an issue in the US that here. Not that we don't have racists - we do! - but racial tension are less significant.

I also thought they leaned a bit heavily into the 'Damsel in Distress' trope with Tikka, while still leaving her big scene(s) predictable and even necessary.

But those are probably my main complaints. It was an enjoyable movie. :)

Zone:
Never heard of it. Will put it on the to do list.
