Love it. So odd. Thanks!

This movie is so awesome.

One of the things I noticed in this movie, which probably wasn’t even intended and caused by budget issues. But it takes place about 30 years in the future from when the movie came out and it’s the most realistic future I ever saw. Like things were different, culture was different, but a lot was just the same as it now is.

Like for example the houses you see in the movie are just regular houses, a lot of stuff is just the same. And that’s how real life is. The house I live in is 40 years old and will probably be exactly the same in another 40 years. I used to live in a house that was almost 100 years old and it will probably be exactly the same in 30 years time. Sure the electrics have been upgraded, the pluming, the windows are double glazed now etc. But the overall look and feel of the house hasn’t changed.

This is something I noticed in this movie and got annoyed with in other movies. Like it’s 30 years in the future, we aren’t going to demolish all of our houses and put up hyper realistic new ones over the course of 30 years. And even though houses have changed a lot from a technical point of view, from the outside it’s still very similar.

A movie with basically no understanding of information technology still manages to nail The Gamers and maintain relevance for 25 years.
