I am not all that knowledgeable about Cyberpunk as a genre, but I have seen several movies that impress me and a game I am currently playing Cyberpunk 2077 that is very impressive.
Cyberpunk is a subgenre of science fiction in a dystopian futuristic setting that tends to focus on a "combination of low-life and high tech"[1] featuring advanced technological and scientific achievements, such as artificial intelligence and cybernetics, juxtaposed with a degree of breakdown or radical change in the social order.[2] Much of cyberpunk is rooted in the New Wave science fiction movement of the 1960s and 1970s, when writers like Philip K. Dick, Roger Zelazny, John Brunner, J. G. Ballard, Philip José Farmer and Harlan Ellison examined the impact of drug culture, technology, and the sexual revolution while avoiding the utopian tendencies of earlier science fiction.

One huge difference between Bladerunner 2049 and Cyberpunk 2077, is that Bladerunner looks like a giant slum as in most of the city, while CP77 has parts that look great, although there are run down neighborhoods. I think it was an artistic and possibly a technology decision to film Blade Runner dark, with a lot of emphasis on pollution.
I don’t know if I’d categorize Minority Report as Cyberpunk, would you?
