Review 4K Movie

What distinguishes a good sci-fi movie from a bad one? No, not special effects at all. In a few years they will become hopelessly outdated, and in another five or ten years, exactly the same can be created on home computers. Good science fiction movie, as well as any other, distinguishes the script, characters and acting. But even more important is the idea, the message and the subtext. Often authors, hiding behind fictional themes, want to share their attitude to contemporary problems and reflect on what awaits us in the future.

Twenty-one years after the release of Paul Verhoeven's film, there are still no robot cops roaming the streets and the world has not finally descended into chaos. But while the main storyline still looks fantastic, a lot of small scenes and elements that you don't pay attention to during the first viewing have, to the surprise of many, come to fruition. The movie, conceived as a joke that went too far, is now frightening in its relevance and modernity.

The heads of major corporations hold press conferences with their companies' logos in the background, and at all the more or less significant events the walls are hung with various trademarks, which are sure to get in the crosshairs of video cameras. The forces of law and order wear armor and drive around in cars with weapons far exceeding those of the Detroit cops. Advertisements become more aggressive every year, and television shows become more extreme. Terrorism is firmly embedded in our daily lives. The 24-hour news shows relentlessly brainwash viewers in the right direction for the government, showing only one side of the coin. The news mostly focuses on armed conflicts and acts of violence, about which the average viewer knows more than he does about his own life. Our whole world is one big, ongoing nightmare that no one pays attention to, because everyone is used to that state of affairs.

Of course, if you don't dig deep and draw analogies to today, RoboCop is a Paul Verhoeven film at its best, with everything we love about movies: violence, cars, chicks, inane action scenes, killer guns and tough guys. If someone else had made it, we would have seen a completely different picture in both form and content. Only here we learn the world around us through news broadcasts and commercials, and the director plays with the viewer for a long time without showing Robocop in full, and, in fact, nobody else but the mad Dutchman is so obsessed with relishing sex and violence and combining these two elements. So it is only in Verhoeven's paintings that objects flying at 300 meters per second or more literally tear human bodies to pieces.

Under the cover of the usual story about the everyday life of brave cops with a fantastic element, Verhoeven not only predicted the future a couple of decades ahead, but also filmed a modern story of Frankenstein, in which the main character will first die, and then resurrected by modern technology, so that in the end, like Jesus Christ, to walk on water, administering justice, implementing the law and giving hope for a better future.
