Netflix dares everyone to imagine that there will be a time when para-athletes will take over the sports scene with fancy and state-of-the-art implants that make them so much stronger and better than regular athletes.

Sports are inspiring; they motivate you to rise above and beyond your limits. All physical sports are mostly about the indomitable human spirit breaking through every boundary to set new records. However, when machines become involved in a human sport, the advantages that come with it nullify the whole purpose of it. Afonso Poyart’s sci-fi sports drama Bionic takes its audience to the future, 2035 to be precise. It’s an era where technology has advanced enough to replace human limbs with machines. This revolution has led to regular athletes going jobless, while bionic athletes have taken over the sports scene. Bionic games have replaced the Olympics, and here we are. Let’s get to the subject then.

Bionic, or Bionicos in native Portuguese, is a new Brazilian film streaming on Netflix that combines elements of science fiction and action to predict what human life might be like in the next decade. Set in the near future, the film’s plot follows the ambitions of two sisters, both exceptionally talented as long-jump athletes, in a world where bionic modifications to human bodies are a very common and accepted practice. Although the plot of Bionic is not extremely intriguing or convincing, the crime and action elements, together with the neon-soaked visuals, still make up for a decent watch.
Spoiler Alert
What is the film about?
Set in 2035, Bionic begins with a young man walking into a bank in Brazil for a seemingly regular visit. Although the metal detector goes off as soon as he walks into the place, the man explains that his shoulders have titanium joints since one of his arms is prosthetic.

Humans have wondered about the philosophical aspect of the relationship between mankind and technology via art, literature, and motion pictures since the advent of machines. This led to the rise of the cyberpunk genre with movies and shows such as Blade Runner, The Terminator, RoboCop, Inspector Gadget, Ghost in the Shell, I, Robot, Ex Machina, Alita: Battle Angel, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Love, Death & Robots, and Upgrade, which asked us to wonder whether or not an android can be as human as humans are. Through characters like Cyborg (from the DC comics), cybernetic implants and prosthetics have been used to comment on the future of people with physical impairments, which is a change that is already happening in real life. Bionic goes a step further and imagines a future where para-athletes with cybernetic implants are going to make able-bodied athletes obsolete. While it’s certainly an interesting concept, is the execution any good?...
