Looking at this timeline of films that take place in the future, I’m reminded just how great these kinds of movies actually are. You’ve got your ROBOCOPS, your BACK TO THE FUTURES, your BLADERUNNERS and your MATRIX flicks. A word of advice then, to screenwriters, producers, and directors who are working on bland, run of the mill stories that need an extra kick. Set your film fifty years from now! It worked for all of these guys! Well, almost all.
