| Much to my surprise, this was listed on wikipedia as a Steampunk film instead of a Cyberpunk film. And now that I think about it, it does have some Steampunk elements, but I far more think of it as a Cyberpunk film than something Gothic like Steampunk. What would you say, which degree of either? I'd say...maybe 75% Cyberpunk and 25% Steampunk? Or perhaps you think whoever put that in the the wikipedia entry is completely wrong and it's not even a percent Steampunk. |

| You're wasting your time trying to figure out the exact niche genre this fits into. Why not just call it science fiction and enjoy the movie? |

| it definitely looks more cyberpunk than steampunk to me. But I'm not sure what sub-genre I'd actually put this into |

| "...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth') |
| It's Dieselpunk more than anything. |
| Imagine giving this much thought to what niche this film belongs to. |
