What will be the future? Cinematic science fiction only imagined it. According to the predictions of the reference science fiction film Blade Runner, Ridley Scott, November 2019, androids with artificial intelligence can be mistaken for people. Also, a quirky retro-futuristic outfit, a cross between film noir, plastic and metal suits, will be common clothes. And all this in the middle of streets filled with pedestrians and huge bright billboards hovering a few meters above the ground.
something that matches back to the future 2Robert Zemeckis. Predictions in sci-fi movies have shown that holographic advertising will become the norm in 2015. Also self-adjusting clothing—made of plastic or synthetic fabric—and cars that can fly. All this time, large corporations have taken over the world and turned every home into a form of objective advertising.
Of course, none of this happened. At least until now. The truth is cinematic science fiction imagined the future in several ways. All of them are trying to anticipate current scenarios and analyze their various possibilities.
From increasingly sophisticated and invasive communication systems to the presence of robots as part of everyday life. Science fiction movies have tried to make predictions about the near and distant future that are now amazing and even naive. But how many times have these grand predictions turned into exaggerated versions of reality?
Apocalyptic horror, a staple among science fiction predictions
Fantasy movie predictions 2012, by Roland Emmerich, the year of the title will be the end of the world. A phenomenon that will begin with the heating of the Earth’s core until it turns into a series of destructive natural phenomena.
Of course, the director used various apocalyptic theories against the specified year to create the worst possible scenario. But he also tried to imagine what would happen if a global phenomenon overwhelmed nations and their resources.
What Ridley Scott has already done in Blade Runnerr, a science fiction film in which, among its predictions, industrial and polluted rains were part of the context of the story. Cause? A slow environmental disaster that the film doesn’t directly talk about, but which it shows at every opportunity. Something that its belated sequel did too Blade Runner: 2049Dennis Villeneuve.
AT snow blower, Bong Joon Ho, during 2014 an attempt is made to counteract global warming by technical means, which only causes a great tragedy. For its part, an uncertain year in the second decade of the 2000s is the setting for little big lifeAlexander Payne.
This sci-fi play includes a prediction of the efforts of the world’s governments to conserve dwindling resources. Something that, in his case, has to do with shrinking human beings. The crazy premise indicates that the decision to build massive cities inhabited by tiny creatures is linked to climate change.
Technologies of the future, according to science fiction predictions
according to the TV show Lost in space, broadcast between 1965 and 1968, in 1997 there will be family expeditions to explore the universe. The ships will be a kind of multi-family trailer version that will have a high-tech robot as a companion.
Predictions that also appear in the sci-fi movie 2001, Space Odyssey, Stanley Kubrick. This ensured that in the year indicated in the title, space travel would be commonplace. That, moreover, artificial intelligence will become part of the equipment for possible travel, and that possible robots will be more than just efficient mechanical parts. At least that’s the case with HAL 9000, who, voiced by Douglas Rain, has become a mortal enemy that must be defeated.
More curiously, in Island, Michael Bay, in 2019 it would be possible to create clones of such perfection that they would be unable to recognize their nature. In fact, the predictions in this sci-fi movie are based on the ability of artificial creatures to come to terms with their existence and painful destiny.
Argument similar to argument Never leave me, Mark Romanek, based on the book of the same name by Kazuo Ishiguro. Although the date is not deepened, both the film and the book show that these are the first decades of the new millennium. Also, in the predictions of these works of science fiction, cloning technology is at such a mind-boggling stage that it becomes a real ethical dilemma.
Film version of the law of the future
In 1993 DestroyerMarco Brambilla claimed that by 2032 the world will have solved most of its problems. Including criminals. According to the predictions of this science fiction film, cryogenic technology will replace prisons. Something that certainly doesn’t look like it’s going to happen anytime soon.
But, from the point of view of the plot, at some point in the first half of the 21st century, life in society became an idyll. Like the free version (quite unrecognizable) 1984, George Orwell, society in the plot is under increased surveillance and control. But, in exchange for freedom, life became peaceful to amazing levels. As many as even to do without the police. In the story, the officers are inexperienced with weapons and violence. Therefore, they must return the frozen Sylvester Stallone several decades ago.
AT Timecop: Police of the Futurefrom Peter Hyams, the idea of mixing law with technology goes much further. Includes, in fact, time travel. And all this in a chaotic 1994, when the chronological leap is considered routine and part of the existing legal structure. What, moreover, leads to the fact that the system is used corruptly and for personal interests. Something that, in the end, causes a central conflict.
Artificial life in science fiction films
In science fiction films, predictions Western world, released in 1973, robots are indistinguishable from humans. Technological progress that occurred in 1983. The production tells – just like the series of the same name – about an amusement park based on focused experiences. In each of them, groups of androids play the main roles, leading small stories that the “guest” can enjoy. However, the perception of the film of the future is so exaggerated that it seems implausible. One of his lowest points.
The newest addition to the unlikely science fiction predictions. M3GANGerard Johnston. When a robotics engineer has to take care of her niece, she will eventually create an android capable of learning. So much so that the prototype becomes more and more independent and violent. The film, which takes place in our time, gives an idea of the possibilities of this technology. Exaggeration – funny and intriguing – of current ideas, but so far completely inapplicable.
