A crew of low-lifes working with an android in a dirty old spaceship for a faceless corporation that treats them as expendable.

Obviously the movie is really scifi horror, but it does hit a lot of cyberpunk themes. So do you consider Alien to be cyberpunk? If you don’t, what would need to change to make it cyberpunk?

I usually include a trailer for the movies I reference but come on, it’s Alien. You already know about this movie.
It’s streaming on Hulu if you haven’t watched it recently.

    I thought about that, but it’s on the moon and somehow that doesn’t feel like it counts. Maybe “interplanetary space travel” is the dividing line

      Interplanetary space travel exists in Blade Runner, Judge Dredd, Cyberpunk, etc and they’re all Cyberpunk universes.
