Hit me.

by ssjakira1 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Dec 12 '05
Pros: Nice and out of the ordinary.
Cons: Haha, some of the effects...
Why am I such a sucker for movies everyone else thinks are lame? Before Keanu Reeves started storing info into his brain during The Matrix, he was doing it in Japan – in Johnny Mnemonic. I found this movie on one night ...

Sci-Fi Dreck

by djmont , May 25 '00
Pros: Keanu Reeves is Good
Cons: Everything else!
William Gibson is one of the most exciting and visionary science fiction writers working today. He has a unique and compelling vision of the future that demands attention. His debut novel "Neuromancer" was a cult smash and one of the finest...

Knowledgeware as Power :+)

by wickengel , May 31 '00
Pros: energy, intellect, symbols, content
Cons: audiences, critics behind the curve
This is not your run-of-the-mill "save the dolphin-in-the-dirty-fishbowl film"! We need a paradigm shift in criticism to get it right about mnemonics (the art of memory). Then we might be able to see "Johnny Mnemonics" straight.

W. Gibson story gets butchered

by dok_nefarious , Dec 31 '99
Pros: dark and gritty look, cool special effects
Cons: Dolph Lundren, Ice-T, shoddy translation of William Gibson
Johnny Mnemonic is based on a short story by William Gibson, The father of the CyberPunk genre and coiner of the term Cyberspace. I am a William Gibson fan and I thought this movie would be excellent. But then again, when is a movie adaptation EVER as...

Utter Trash

by vroman , Jun 10 '00
Pros: A cyber punk movie, if you like that sort of thing.
Cons: Poorest of the poor acting, cheesy theme, an astounding waste of time.
Utter trash. I’d have to compare this film to the similar flop, “Howard the Duck.” Both had a somewhat original premise that simply withered and died. But its more than that, this film has the cloying, bottom barrel, pop culture feel of greasy plastic...

The Matrix Precursor

by ArchieSicat , Jan 01 '01
Pros: Keanu's a great actor, special effects
Cons: Gets Flippery in the end, but that's okay
In case you are wondering how Keanu Reeves got the Matrix part, Johnny Mnemonic is where it all begins. In this film, Reeves acts as a digital messenger who carries megabytes of data in his head and sells the information to the highest bidder. Unlike...

Mnemonic? Oh yeah! I remember!

by teckwizard , Mar 03 '00
Pros: Keanu
Cons: Dolph and Ice-T
When I first saw this movie, all I could think was "who is this lead actor?"

Keanu Reeves had had my attention ever since. He has a unique style and presence that I have not seen since.

As to Dolph, well, he's he-man and...

Matrix Prequel?

by coolboarder , Aug 17 '00
Pros: Cool Story
Cons: Reeves?
Keanu Reeves in a Sci-Fi flick daunted with the task of saving the world. Sound like a good Matrix prequel, will maybe it doesn't and well it doesn't even come close.

I'm honestly surprised few people have rated this movie. This leads me...

Great Under-rated Movie

by fursty , Sep 06 '00
Pros: Good story and effects
Cons: Acting, supporting cast
This may come as a surprise to many of you. But this is actually a very good film. Sure, it's a little weird and Keanu can't really act. But this is a remarkable vision of the future, one not quite like those we are used to seeing. Of course it includes...
