this is such an underrated movie, the movie is really original, sure a lot of movies try to incorporate a hacker theme, but no movie delved right into it and immerse the audience in this subculture. Still one of the greatest movies from the 90s
@FRamirez1978 You watch this mopvie now as an older adult as in early to mid 30s and wonder what happened to your life and all the plans you had back when this movie came out.
Still guess Me chills when I hear this song on either this movie or Mortal Kombat and I remember those days in the late 90s and wish I could go back to them and re-live them.
@DarkLordDiablos I hear ya but try not to be too nostalgic as it removes the fun out of the present. 90s are now nostalgic, they're history. You're old and becoming your grandpa who remembers the "good ol' days". It's crazy..
Us generation xer's grew up with the atomic bomb and the soviet union over our heads which might be why we tended to be a bit Nihilistic. This was the movie that inspired me to get into hacking for a while and virus writing but I now think it's lame to do so.
It was nice to see hollywood cater to the 'Nintendo generation' as spoken in the movie. I think this movie kind of serves as a montage for the late generation xer's.
I once wanted to be a hacker, so I took computer engineering, then computer science, then I got a job. After I do what I do at work, I don't really want to see a computer on my free time, but do something else instead :]
Good choice of lighting, colors, wardrobe, music... makes me forget that the hacking involved was actually unrealistic.. but who cares, most films have some unrealistic components to them.. this shit takes me back to when Rollerblading and PlayStation was cool!
ok i know this sounds soo stupid.. but last month i went to NY and when the captain told us that we had arrived .. i looked over the window to actually see this images we see now on the vid.. so.....
i get my ipod and i selected... halcyon on & on .. lol i was feeling like the hackers movie! hahahhaa
i was like.. ok im angeline jolie and now im gonna HACK THE PLANET.
@mayract Very cool experience and not to be corny back but I am glad you shared that. For one sec I gotta chance to be in your shoes and remember how much I love EDM, Orbital< NYC, Hackers, and LIFE!

Halcyon is one of the best electronic tracks/songs (w/e) ever. it's just so dreamy, full of space that can be filled with positive, creative thinking.
The word Halcyon is a term that originates from the Greek myth of Alcyone, is used most often to mean golden or marked by peace and prosperity. It was meant to show the assumed golden age of peace winning the tournament brough about.
is an incredibly trite transition into making a point.
Thanks for reinforcing the origins of the word "halcyon".
Seeing as you clearly know the meaning of that word, you are foolish to say it fits in the movie MORTAL KOMBAT.
Oh and it's a matter of preference, and I would not prefer the Mortal Kombat over most other films, which suck to some degree, just not as bad as Mortal Kombat.
What an elitist asshole you are and last time I checked, this was as bad a movie as MK was. Seriously, if you discount Angelina Jolie, the biggest star in the movie was fucking Shaggy.
I think thats weird that the ending cut off with just showing New York City with the Empire State Building. Even though this was made in 1995 and it said 7 years later, there's no Twin Towers. Maybe i'm just thinking too hard, but it was a little weird :P.
Thank you so much for putting this up. I'm stuck at work rebuilding a server and reconfiguring a bunch of switches and found myself really needing to hear that version of Halcyon and On.
Perfect :D
Also in hindsight, while Hackers isn't the greatest movie it's nice that Hollywood at least tried to make a buck off of something a lot of us hold dear. A shame it's not a Creative Commons released film tho. lol

When they put this song in Mortal Kombat, I was super pissed off. One of my favorite tunes in a terrible movie, when the song didn't even fit...
I saw this movie the same year but I don't remember it so I'm going back to it this weekend.
hopefully it's good and it all comes back to me lol
CHIHUAHUAconda 3 years ago
First off, the song totally fit.
The word Halcyon is a term that originates from the Greek myth of Alcyone, is used most often to mean golden or marked by peace and prosperity. It was meant to show the assumed golden age of peace winning the tournament brough about.
Second off, that movie rocked!
The sequel sucked, sure,
But that movie was awesome!!
orinanime 2 years ago
First off
is an incredibly trite transition into making a point.
Thanks for reinforcing the origins of the word "halcyon".
Seeing as you clearly know the meaning of that word, you are foolish to say it fits in the movie MORTAL KOMBAT.
Oh and it's a matter of preference, and I would not prefer the Mortal Kombat over most other films, which suck to some degree, just not as bad as Mortal Kombat.

CHIHUAHUAconda 2 years ago
Seeing as I know what the word means, and explained it's use in the scene, how does it not fit?!
"eat a dick and think before you talk"
- Wow! Really?!
You should calm down and try not being a hypocritical douche-bag, you stupid jack ass.
orinanime 2 years ago
How can you describe any bit of Mortal Kombat as halcyon???
Other than maybe the "good guys" are fighting for peace.
CHIHUAHUAconda 2 years ago
The scene it's in. As I said.
The word Halcyon is a term that originates from the Greek myth of Alcyone, is used most often to mean golden or marked by peace and prosperity.
The scene in question is the main characters arriving home after the tournament is over.
It was meant to show the assumed golden age of peace winning the tournament brough about.
orinanime 2 years ago
I'm sorry we're not getting anywhere and every time I go back to this video it pops up in my "recommended videos".
I will say I disagree with it being used in that scene but whatever it's a matter of opinion.
ez
CHIHUAHUAconda 2 years ago
I'm sorry too.
But it's not a matter of opinion. I hate when people say that in an attempt to justify whatever comes out of there mouths.
It's a matter of dictionary definition.
Besides that. Just 'cause it's an opinion doesn't mean it can't be argued or proved wrong.
Hitler was of the opinion, the Jews needed exterminating. You sayin' because it's an opinion, he wasn't wrong?
So whatever
orinanime 2 years ago
I meant it was a matter of opinion to justify whether the song was appropriate in the end of the flick or not.
That Hitler example is not similar. Faulty logic but maybe we'll save that for another time.
