Corrupt governments or puppeteered by greedy corporations, most people are brainwashed by technology and religion, health diets and lifestyle almost non-existent for most, many new diseases and increasingly common birth defects, worldwide social, cultural and economic decay and decadence, the following movie plots seem plausible at least in parts:
- Wall-e
- Idiocracy
- Minority Report
- Judge Dredd
- Johnny Mnemonic
- Blade Runner
- Mad Max: Thunderdome
- Gattaca
- 2012 (Something like this will happen eventually as some believe it did happen before)
Not a movie, but Time Trax the TV show. Not the time travel aspect of it, but holographic computers and whites being outnumbered/placed in a lower class by Latinos. Will probably happens some day.
I would say Back To The Future 2 had a lot of predictions come true. I was watching it the other day and although time machine's and flying cars are not around I did notice they had large flat screen tv's hanging on the wall which you could watch various channels at one time while doing other applications such as taking video phone calls. A lot of the technology has not happened yet such as the human-less dog walkers and dehydration machines for food, but a lot of those things could be possible with the technology we've obtained since 1989, so I think this movie does have a lot of realism to it as far as the writter's vision of what the future would be in the 2010's.
Yeah I'm still waiting for the propulsion cars from Captain America: The First Avenger that Howard Stark thought up and later perfected by his son Tony.
If anything there is no real best movie of talking about the present (the past's future) because hovercars were always expected going back to the 50's. I think we will see them at some point.
"...an omnipresent state ruled by the Big Brother...in permanent war...with intention of keeping the proletariat without education and possibility of capital accumulation...under permanent surveillance...through the "telescreen" - a monitor that is television and also spies on the life of each individual...broadcasts ceaselessly to the population via its inescapable network of telescreens. These devices, which pervade all aspects of peoples' lives, are also capable of monitoring their every word and action. They form part of an elaborate surveillance system used by...the Thought Police...nobody can really escape..."
