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?
Discussion
Ready player one is a good one.
Idiocracy is great.
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
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
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!
The Congress
Oooh, I haven't seen that. I like Robin Wright. TY 🫂🙏🏻
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.
Jurassic Park but with AI robots
Big Trouble in Little China
Children of Men, although UK seems a bit ahead of the original timeline.

Teletubbies: The Movie
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?
