if these films are right we don’t have
much to look forward to I’ve seen
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our top ten favorite
dystopian movie futures number 10
metropolis kicking off our list is a
future where society is divided by a
class system in this German silent era
classic the year is 2026 and the
planners live a carefree utopian
existence above ground while the workers
slave away on machines below the earth’s
surface seems like the 99% really never
catches a break number 9 idiocracy I’m a
Secretary of State brought to you by
Carl’s jr. why do you keep saying that
cuz they pay me every time I do it’s a
really good way to make money so smart
why don’t you know that hmm this movie
kind of hits close to home an average
Joe is put in suspended animation when
he thaws it’s 500 years in the future
and the population is full of morons
since dumb people do most of the
reproducing they elect a wrestler as
president and spray Fitness drinks on
their crops US excuse me I think this
might be Gatorade or something I was
just looking for some regular water
water yeah you mean like in the toilet
what for no just to drink we really wish
this movie seemed more far-fetched
number eight surrogates it’s 20 54 and
Technology is even more widespread than
today these technological advances have
allowed people to plug into humanoid
remote-control Androids so they can live
a fantasy lifestyle without fear of
death or injury in the dangerous outside
world this is the ultimate example of
people becoming products and losing all
sense of reality and true interaction
think about that next time you’re on
your smartphone at dinner
number seven Minority Report thinking of
committing a crime don’t its 2054 again
but this time America is targeting
pre-crime this unique form of law
enforcement works through a specialized
Police Department that apprehend
criminals based on the foreknowledge of
three psychics called precogs since this
legal system judges you based on
glimpses of things you haven’t even done
yet there’s lots of room for corruption
some things never change
number six Blade Runner in this far-off
dystopian future genetically engineered
organic robots fight for equality while
corporations control everything
police are omnipresent and use flying
cars to watch over the population as
people lose all sense of empathy the
oppressed decide to take their chances
by migrating to offworld colonies quite
an experience to live in fears wait did
we say far-off future we meant 2019
number five The Hunger Games if you want
to survive what’s coming better brush up
on your archery skills a battle to the
death serves as punishment for the
failed uprising of impoverished colonies
each must select two children at random
to participate in live combat until only
one remains hope is used as a tool of
control as the winning colony gets
enough food to last a year ladies and
gentlemen from district 12 Katniss
Everdeen the gone so that’s something
number four Gattaca this not-too-distant
future features a society where the
increasing use of reproductive
technologies has reached its full
potential that means nothing is left to
chance
and every aspect of every child is
chosen by its parents good genes and DNA
mean a good social standing and the
finest specimens go on to achieve
greatness while the rest are doomed to
menial lives I had to see
I read your profile I’m sorry
seems through everything they say you
are and more so pretty much like it is
now number three Fahrenheit 451
based on the dystopian novel by Ray
Bradbury this science-fiction
masterpiece depicts a future without
books and the possible effects of
censorship firemen are given license to
search anyone at any time in order to
burn all forms of literature the
government’s goal is to suppress
dissenting ideas and it prefers
controllable and submissive forms of
entertainment like television you will
good I thought you would hey they don’t
call it the boob tube for nothing number
two Soylent Green
if you’ve ever worried about a future
filled with pollution depleted resources
poverty climate change and
overpopulation then block your ears for
a second in the hellish future of this
film the government manages to keep the
population fed thanks to a mysterious
processed food ration called Soylent
Green which is set to come from the
depleted oceans but really it’s made
from human remains
tell everybody listen to me Hatcher
you’re gonna tell them Charlotte Green
is people number one Logan’s Run taking
the top spot on our list is the
dystopian future that goes one step
further by 2274 the human population has
been sealed in a utopia that utopia is
run by a computer and that computer is
responsible for absolutely everything
including human reproduction each person
is equipped with a colorful life clock
implanted in their hand why well to
conserve resources anyone who reaches
age 30 is killed to prevent
overpopulation also this film pretty
much solidifies our fear of carousels
do you agree with our list which
dystopian movie future makes you the
most nervous for more entertaining top
