Plot summary
Following a worldwide event known as The Reset, humanity rebuilds a society with aging mechanics where gleaming technology once stood. Surveillance now the status quo, society is slowly putting its shattered pieces back together under a watchful eye. After a friend’s suicide leaves behind a mysterious computer drive, a young computer prodigy and a shadowy hacker join together to decipher the clues that he’s left behind. The youthful creators of Jackrabbit have successfully constructed a world, which we haven’t previously seen on film. Mixing retro production design with slick storytelling, they deliver a cinematic dissonance that will result in a shock to the senses.

Ranney and co-writer Destin Douglas have honoured the
Very good low budget retrotech dystopian sci-fi
A lot of ideas here and they are crushed into a single film.
The cyberpunk elements and dystopian vibe is way better than Hollywood has ever been able to capture in their big budget flicks.
Some John Carpenter pulse synth, a kind of 80's feel and some weird salvage tech that feels somehow familiar.
Most people wouldn't have enough cultural context to get a lot of this movie. It's too dense for most viewers nowadays.
I found it engaging and the visuals were convincing. The effects for the EMP burst and the exposition were really well done.
The acting was not cringe at all. Great characterization.
I am a big fan of 70's science fiction and this reminded me of the very best films from that era.
