i also found it visually displeasing, but not in a cool way
how
it was just an eyesore

i thought the bright lights and colors in the city mixed poorly with the dark and gritty everything else, and even though i'm well-aware that it's neo-noir, i found myself distracted and bothered by the fact that it's constantly raining, which is just silly
The bright lights and colors are supposed to be showing how oriented the population is to advertisements (if you've ever seen Minority Report it's a similar thing). It's dark and gritty and sleazy but with a very transparent facade that everything is great.

The constant rain is from climate change / global warming. It's also why the city is so diverse. Many people and to flock to smaller areas in order to survive.
no, i get that

i still don't find it pleasing to look at though
Well fuck bro

it also bothers me when these kinds of films take place in the "not so distant future," but they actually specify a real year, in this case 2019

it creates an awkward distraction where the people of our day are gonna see this movie and be like "haha, look how far off they were" in terms of the technology and stuff

like, we don't have hovercars

but that's more a flaw with the story itself, the original book written in the 60s, and not necessarily the film itself

I feel like this is a really flimsy flaw tbh
