This Forgotten '90s Cyberpunk Flick Nailed the Dystopian VR Vibes

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-08-05 07:45:03

Pull up any list of the ultimate cyberpunk movies and you'll find The Matrix, Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell. But there's one great tech noir flick that came out at the height of the cyberpunk craze -- and then all-but disappeared. Maybe that's partly because of its title. I'd wanted to rewatch Strange Days for a long time, but I kept forgetting because, honestly, I couldn't remember what it was called. Then I finally rediscovered the sci-fi thriller on Hulu.

Microplastics aren't just an ocean pollution issue anymore. They're now a daily part of our diet.
