Which films have the best vision of the future?

[samk]

Hollywood can't make a film about a future that is weirder than present humans can understand, and won't make one where the humans are dead, and cockroaches and rats take undisputed control of our pathetic cities.

So, you probably won't get a good vision of the future from any film

 

[QueenOfGoths]

a hah-hah ha

Star trek is such a sanitised pussy vision of the future. Like humanity will ever use enlightened self interest as a guiding principle.

No give me Bene Gesserit Witches running 300 year breeding projects, Godlike AI's and other visions. But not Trekkie future, god no

Live Long and Prosper

 

[no-no]

RAMA!!!!

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

Live Long and Prosper

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

RAMA!!!!

That looks like of how I imagine greg bears 'eon' if you know what I am talking about.

 

[no-no]

Sorry, nope haven't read any greg bear, he did the mars series didn't he?

I need to read more modern sci fi......

 

[DJ Squelch]

Bladerunner has be the coolest.

I also like Logans Run - kind of future/retro.

Re:Logan's Run
Just wait until the proposed remake/reimagined version hits the Screen (if it ever gets out of Delevopment hell)....

 

[dylanredefined]

Starship Troopers.

Defiantly "service guarantees citizenship"

Hell is precisely where all these shitty remakes belong, together with every single Hollywood hack involved in their creation

a brilliant portrayal of a horrendous facist future. But not a future I would want to dwell in. Service gaurentees citizenship indeed

As if being born into a society means one has to serve that society. Fuck that, I'd rather live in Hugh Cook's dark, anarchic future, or Bank's hedonistic choice-driven Culture

 

[Stigmata]

Film representations can fuck the fuck off

Give me Yellowstone habitat, Belle Epoque Era Demarchist society

I could do without one of those voluntary tyrannies, mind.

 

[Rainingstairs]

Soylent Green

Children of men for the most realistic and Bladerunner for the coolest.

Said it all for me!

Children of Men was quality.

I also loved back to the future though. No grand visions, no doom-mongering, no OTT predictions, just basically the same as what we have now, complete with its own pop culture, nostalgia (cafe 80s: ) etc plus flying cars. It was really well done.

Only 8 years to go now.

Escape From New York. Though their depiction of Manhatten seems to be too clean...

It's amazing how far in the future it seemed to me as a teenager at the time

 

[Mab]

Big time the best!!

Children of Men !!!

 

[Hi-ASL]

The Running Man
Idiocracy

 

[BlackSpecs]

Big time the best!!

I really like the idea behind Battersea Power Station . A place where one guy tries to save the worlds most important pieces of art in the face of total chaos!!!

 

[DrRingDing]

1984

Liked THE UGLIEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD. Starts off setting the scene of 2011 with flying cars and skyscraper stuff, and just as I was thinking 'I hate shit like this' it turns out everything is pretty much the same it was just something on TV.
