The movie was not one of the best in terms of entertainment and seemed “cheesy”, but a number of messages did get across. In this movie you could see the evil image giant corporations have. Just like some of the other movies such as Tron and Total Recall, corporations are seen as the villain. This movie made me wonder how many cures might be out there but are controlled by companies to be used by their advantage.
I liked the idea that Johnny had used a part of his memory to store data as a carrier. Again memory comes into the picture as an important element, just like Total Recall and Blade Runner. It made me think about the limits we should set for involving technology into our lives. Our minds are tools that may transfer ideas and memories, but to use technology to play with our minds is another issue.
Certain characters that seemed to have supposed to be scary, such as the Jesus character, come off humorous. I guess the topic of control can be related to “Jesus,” referring to the Church/Religion as a tool to control people. This can be seen again when he received a video message in the Bible. Although I did not enjoy the acting, I was still entertained.
