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.

    Alien (the creature) is the work of H. R. Giger, a biomechanical artist.

    Biomechanical art is closely related to cyberpunk so I would answer yes to your question.

    In the other hand, I have never considered Alien as cyberpunk.
