This week Justin and I watched the forgotten 1996 science fiction thriller Chain Reaction, starring Keanu Reeves as a scientist (lol) who discovers a source of infinite free energy and becomes the target of multiple global conspiracies aimed at controlling the world's energy future. Seen from 2023, Chain Reaction reveals high anxiety about fossil fuels, the CIA, and the "just right" porridge of liberal masculinity (hint: it's Obama/Morgan Freeman). This is first-rate Hollywood crap that somehow functions as an uncanny prophecy of our bad future. Run, Keanu, run!
