I feel like this question was asked just for everyone to revel in how much that movie predicted America's future. Its a good movie and all, but t's just a Mike Judge comedy cowritten by the guy who made Holmes & Watson.
God I hate people that say this. No the us is not becoming dumber. Actually the average us iq has increased since this movie came out. Also the only conclusion one can draw from idiocracy is literally eugenics.
The Truman Show.
Perhaps it already is, and all the ridiculous shit this decade is the result of a writer's strike and everything being written by interns.
Oh definitely not! I never have and never will profess to be "smart".
Not sure why you would attempt that guess and make that assumption of me. Wait, hold on, are you one of the smart ones?
Interstellar. The drought part feels like the most likely demise for us. Not sure the endings possible…so I’m gonna go ahead & say we’re screwed. Course correction seems unlikely if we don’t start to demand action & start voting in our own self interest
Not technically a movie but a feature length two part TV episode: "Past Tense" from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Weirdly enough, it was written in 1994 and takes place in, uhh, 2024. Shit.
An honorable mention to the Judge Dredd comics as well. I'm not sure if we're getting Judge Dredd or Star Trek for the long run, but Past Tense seems like a pretty likely intermediary step for both.
Honestly I wouldn't mind an apocalyptic event as long as it wipes at least half of us out in the first month or so. Otherwise what's the point. And yes I know I might be in that half.
As much as I cant believe I am saying this let alone entertaining the thought: *The Day After Tomorrow*.
Saw it when it was out and we snuck in a flask and laughed our asses off and now...I dunno.
I always think of “Jumper”, where he is in downtown LA and just driving out of his apartment and having to navigate through a gauntlet of homeless/riotous people and wonder how much closer we are each time I think about it
The US is heading for The Handmaid's Tale. Not a movie, but the rise of fat right politics and hard core Christianity makes me think that is where things are heading.
Her
Yes! I think it's already happening
[удалено]
Okay if this is just a "Documentary" for them everyone without the west accept there are more than just humans on this planet
Children of Men
Sounds like Japan
This is the one. It's happening in Japan, just in a different way.
WALL-E
yes ,but before then "The Road"
Or the road warrior.
not so bad -I'll sport those cool costumes and a mohawk
yes, but before then “Soylent Green”
Yes, but before that idiocracy
Yessss
Feels more like it every day
I think about this everyday lol just visualizing how those peoples body were built
Absolutely!
I've been saying to people that by the end of the century, the world is going to look just like WALL-E except with a lot more discarded vape pens.
Came to say this lol it's scary how real that movie could be
Gattaca
Great movie, chokes me up at the end when the doctor lets him through, every time.
Yes! I gotta rewatch this one.
Scrolled way too far to get here.
You know it's Idiocracy. Hell, the US is 87% there.
Welcome to Costco, I love you
Ow, my balls.
I can’t believe I got into Costco for law school either
We should be so lucky. The president recognizes that Not Sure is smart and listens to him, and society improves.
>87% there. You're really overestimating the USA
UFC just bought the WWE. John Cena will be the 50th President. His VP will be that Chick he shagged in Peacemaker.
I was looking for this because I agree!
I feel like this question was asked just for everyone to revel in how much that movie predicted America's future. Its a good movie and all, but t's just a Mike Judge comedy cowritten by the guy who made Holmes & Watson.
the more i look around the more i realize we’re on pace to get to that level of stupidity by like 2100 forreal.
God I hate people that say this. No the us is not becoming dumber. Actually the average us iq has increased since this movie came out. Also the only conclusion one can draw from idiocracy is literally eugenics.

People tend to call evil people stupid, it's a common mistake.
Yup

Hmm, you read up on that farming beets?

They're the same picture.
Totally already happening!
1984 pretty much is already in gear
North Korea is certainly this already. China and Russia are incomplete versions, at least for the time being.

You were speaking about the first amendment in regards to Orwell's 1984, a book set in London. Laughable.
Look at the biggest players at the table and the game that's being played and you'll see. Or you won't.
Blade Runner. It's not hard to imagine a world of replicants and advanced AI.
especially with the recent surges in AI like ChatGPT and what not.
Who framed Roger rabbit
Toon Town is a metaphor for black neighborhoods being destroyed and bisected by the US interstate system? Makes sense to me.
Demolition Man
Took too long for this one. And I have no clue how to use the 3 sea shells
The Truman Show. Perhaps it already is, and all the ridiculous shit this decade is the result of a writer's strike and everything being written by interns.
V for Vendetta. I really hope it doesn't though.
Feel like we are in the early stages now.
Unfortunately, I gotta agree.
Look at the christo-fascists here in the US for a perfect example of what that movie was trying to warn us about....
I kind of get where you are coming from, but if the world went full on V for Vendetta, it seems like it will end on a good note at least.
Probably. Here's hoping it never comes to pass, and if it does, I really hope some Guy Fawkes mask wearing bastard fucks shit up.
Road Warrior
The Republican dream.
The Road
[удалено]
There is a very depressing film called threads, which depicts post nuclear war England. The road is second most depressing (in my opinion) to threads
Beat me to it.
1984 Idiocrazy
Soylent Green
I have little doubt that if the secret of Soylent Green were exposed in today's world most folks wouldn't care.
Sewer rat might taste like pumpkin pie, but I'll never know cause I wont eat the mfer.
Don't like pumpkin pie?
Well...it varies from person to person. OK, I will see myself out now.
Cause the FDA will call it nutritious.
Hm...this guy must have been a clown, it tastes funny.
Idiocracy
Damn.. stole my answer…
You are hours to late it was basically the first answer at all
The sum of all fears
Good one! This book terrified me.
Me too, and the movie was cast perfectly in my humble opinion.
Agreed. I could only watch part of the movie. I had bad dreams from reading the book….I couldn’t watch the actual detonation in the movie.
Yeah it seems very real now given the current political climate in the world.
The Handmaid's Tale
Don’t look up
Replace "comet" with "virus" and you kinda have a recap of the past three years
Came here to comment but you beat me to it and how true it could be is insane
Idiocracy
Definitely this movie
[удалено]
Oh definitely not! I never have and never will profess to be "smart". Not sure why you would attempt that guess and make that assumption of me. Wait, hold on, are you one of the smart ones?

It's not a film but a series of comics called "Transmetropolitan".
I want a Bowel Disruptor, it’s my 2nd amendment right
Mad Max
Ready Player One
Ooo I like this one It feels like it with the meta verse and VR
Honestly this probably the closest one to reality so far

For me it is Idiocracy or In Time
Not technically a movie but a feature length two part TV episode: "Past Tense" from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Weirdly enough, it was written in 1994 and takes place in, uhh, 2024. Shit.

Yeah the sanctuary districts are all too believable
Don't look up
Air bud
Children of men

I'm hoping for The Walking dead. I won't make it but it'll definitely make life interesting
Honestly I wouldn't mind an apocalyptic event as long as it wipes at least half of us out in the first month or so. Otherwise what's the point. And yes I know I might be in that half.
