I can't be the only one who really loved the aesthetic. It was like an upated take on Retrofuturism. Clean rooms, cold lighting in blue, red and sometimes purple, streamlined clothes, suits and utilities, lights everywhere. It had a charm and most importantly, it had character. It really felt as if it could be real, given a couple of years and decades. A Millenium case of Optimism. And you know what, we got some good stuff across all media during that period.

Gattaca is probably my favourite sci fi film. Can't find anything like it. When he confesses to Uma Thurman's character that he's a godchild, a de-gene-rate, it is great.
>I think it’s literally soulless
That's the point.

It's inviting likeminded people to post instead of LARPing. If you knew how to construct a sentence past b8, you'd know that. Faggot.

For me its Minority Report.

The zeitgeist of the late 90s was yet to end. Inertia meant it took until 2005 or so really for 9/11 to start having the bulk of its cultural impact. And then the recession came along and totally wiped out those exciting dreams of a better or at least more interesting and stylish future. Now it's all either flavour-of-the-month political allegory or brutish and militaristic propaganda for cops, armies, and intelligence services. And people still support the trends that denigrate creative content out of convenience like something out of Wall-E. Turns out it was the anti-consumerist sci-fi like Robocop that turned out to be the most correct. Shame.

>tfw there is still no HD release of Minority Report with the original bleach-bypass colour grading
>Disney+ own 20th Century Flicks now and are pivoting to streaming-only so no anniversary physical release with the possibility of including this on the horizon
>FanRes tried to emulate it but they're dumb hoarders who only upload their work to BluTopia
>we will never get the deleted scene with adult Sean that was removed so close to the release date he's still listed in the credits

Uhhh does Moon count or is 2009 too late?

I wanna say that I, Robot started this aesthetic but I'm probably wrong, I've seen it called I Pod Futurism.
Jose Morales
I, Robot came out towards the end of this trend, way after the millennium and 9/11.

Minority Report is absolute kino.
Paycheck is pretty great.
Aeon Flux was alright.
Off the top of my head, I can't think of any others worth mentioning unless Sunshine counts?
Jacob Murphy
Sunshine is too orange to count. Soderbergh's Solaris would count more, stylistically.

Shit, forgot about that. I actually really enjoyed it

Fuck I, Robot is so good. I need to rewatch it

I loved Minority Report growing up, then as an adult I found it too campy and dated. Then I went back to it again recently and realised it's meant to be an old-fashioned Hitchcock-style thriller that just happens to take place in a futuristic setting (right down to the Herrman-esque score) and now I really like it again. Astounding production design, I wish more filmmakers today had the talent of prime Speilberg. Even the Villeneuves and Refns, let alone the Nolans of the industry right now, don't put that level of detail into their sets and worldbuilding.
Brody Foster
Moon, Edge Of Tomorrow, and Oblivion are post-/bluecore/.

Could you elaborate?
I found TOTDY extremely nuanced in its worldbuilding, same with BR2049
Bentley Bennett
What about BR2049?
