Visually, thematically, and in every way possible, I think it defines what that list is all about. I don't see why "Fifth Element" was in it, though. It's not just that it was a bit of a duff film, but I don't think it was that influential. I can't imagine anyone watching it and going, "Aaah! So that's what the future is going to look like!" kudos for including "Tron" and "Wargames" though. I can understand the trouble of not putting “Blade Runner” in that list.

It's f*cked up, but way ahead of the game in terms of cinematography and style. And yeah, I'm almost glad of all the 300 hype - it's now so hyped it can't possible deliver. So my expectations have dropped. Which is good because that means it will be amazing. Unless i expect it to be. Irreversible.
