What's a sci-fi movie that's a most likely scenario of where humanity is headed next?
Which timeline are we leaning toward - utopian or dystopian? A mix of both and/or do we still have time to redirect?

Dystopian for the many
Utopian for the few.
We can only choose for ourselves.
1984 + Fahrenheit + Minority Report + Metropolis
to not repeat earlier replies, ill add two new ones: Elysium and Interstellar.
…The Creator (2023 film) is also quite interesting as AI becomes more pervasive (and a threat?) in our society…
Soylent Green for the metaphor
So what's an anticipation movie.
Bladerunner
I'm so glad we're past "Soylent green". Looking forward to "V for Vendetta", but really would like to see "Star Trek".
I can see “Her” with Joaquin Phoenix happening as connection intelligence increases. And then “Upgrade” is an interesting take on weaponized neuralink. Ex machina is a classic, ghost in the shell is one of my favorites. Its too late to stop the AI so the term “self defense” will be redefined to include tech skills
The Congress
Jurassic Park but with AI robots
Big Trouble in Little China
Good suggestions. I feel like I've seen Her but don't remember it much. Might rewatch. I recently caught up with Upgrade seasons. I was being entertained but you are absolutely right. And def need a rewatch of ex machina. Thank you!
Children of Men, although UK seems a bit ahead of the original timeline.
@Lyn Alden What do you think?
Oooh, I haven't seen that. I like Robin Wright. TY 🫂🙏🏻
how have I missed this 👀
Teletubbies: The Movie
When I first watched it, some of the technologies in the movie felt too futuristic to be real but within 10 years almost all of them started to become reality. I definitely recommend it.
Highly recommend. It has amazing visuals.
just moved it to my watchlist
Æon Flux
I'm about to watch Elysium. I know very little about it, but I hear it hits hard. Maybe that will be a contender?
Where does that one stream? Thx
