talk about losing your sense of style
the meteor was shot out of orbit by
plasma welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top ten futuristic movie
technologies that look hilariously dated
today that’s impossible even for a
computer for this list we’re looking at
futuristic movie devices that at one
time looked cutting-edge but now looks
so dated it’s hard to imagine that they
once were deemed ahead of their time
basically they are more likely to
inspire laughs than all these days I’ve
had people walk out of me before but not
when I was being so charming
number 10 Argo buggy Star Trek nemesis
but I can inching to try the Argo it’s
hard to imagine that this was once seen
as the future of all-terrain vehicles or
even a viable option for landing parties
with better non terrain technology
available
the agro buggies design isn’t exactly
well thought out for practical combat
use I will always be puzzled by the
human predilection for piloting vehicles
of unsafe velocity both the passengers
and the turret gunner are left wide open
without any protection from enemy fire
this vehicle is built for a couple of
friends going off-roading not a full-on
firefight
well at least b4 was well protected do
you have a name sir I am a four number
nine public videophone Bladerunner hello
in today’s world of fast computers and
advanced smartphones offering video chat
as a standard feature one glance at the
public videophone from Blade Runner is
likely to make you chuckle I’m gonna bar
here now for sector the dated monitor
old-school computer text and overall
clunky design make it hard to believe
that this movie is actually supposed to
take place in 2019 I don’t think so mr.
Deckard that’s not my kind of place we
can admit that this is most certainly
nitpicking though as Ridley Scott’s
masterpiece is a crucial part of cinema
history go someplace else
number eight
portable brainwave detector Barbarella
this is a portable brainwave detector in
order to help her track down a missing
scientist whose invention is capable of
completely leveling entire planets
Barbarella is given this portable
brainwave detector that will light up
and emit an alarm sound when in his
presence the device also has a nifty
alien language translator as until then
come Bucks although quite the useful
gadget it doesn’t seem very practical to
wear and isn’t exactly a fashion
trendsetter even if this is science
fiction our iPhones look so much more
sophisticated thank you and
love number seven robot driven taxis
Total Recall yeah my you’re in a Johnny
can need a lift
why not take a ride in a Johnny cab this
completely automated taxi service is
controlled by a robot that can take you
anywhere you want to go I mean what am I
doing here I’m sorry
would you please rephrase the question
you must be completely clear with your
directions though otherwise this method
of travel can prove to be quite
frustrating just ask Arnie shit I’m not
familiar with that address would you
please repeat though 1990s Total Recall
featured many high-tech gadgets and a
mind-bending vision of the future this
cab ride is too silly not to laugh your
head off at hell of a day and it
seriously we’d rather wait for those
driverless Google cars we’ve been
promised right here I’m here making
Johnny Cash thank you number 6 wireframe
map Escape from New York right on course
this is supposed to be the distant
future the year 1997
hear the helicopters surveying the city
monitor and trace activity through the
use of this high-tech grid
[Music]
though this map might have blown away
audiences upon the film’s original
release today it looks more like a
pre-visualization for what eventually
becomes a modern movies visual effects
in the sci-fi action flick New York is a
futuristic Alcatraz like prison but this
map makes it look like a video game our
parents would have played number five
large backpack camera unit death race
2000 Wow look at the size of this thing
this camera is the equivalent of what
cell phones used to look like when they
were first introduced to the public he
hit a tree and that’s it got it this
might have seemed like an advanced piece
of technology back then but now it looks
like a bulky inconvenience for anyone
who has to wear it it’s not whether you
win or lose it’s how you play the game
can you imagine having to do field
reporting while lugging this backpack
and camera around everywhere you go
don’t want to well we don’t blame you
[Music]
number four squid strange days in
strange days an illegal machine called a
squid or superconducting quantum
interference device can record life
events directly from the user’s cerebral
cortex what is all this squid shit
anyway superconducting quantum
interference device squid this data can
then be played back using a mini disc
type gadget allowing the user to
experience the memories and physical
sensations of whomever recorded it you
heard that right
mini discs a piece of technology that
has long since been replaced that’s like
making a movie with the same premise
today and using cassette tapes instead
number three Death Star plans Star Wars
Episode four a new hope the Death Star
plans are not in the main computer where
are those translations descended what
have you done with those plans it’s hard
to believe that in a world where ships
warp at hyper speed and energy swords
cut through seemingly anything the
technology like this still exists the
battle station is heavily shielded and
carries a firepower greater than half
the Starfleet its defenses are designed
around a direct large-scale assault as
the plan to take down the first Death
Star is explained to the rebels it’s
amazing that the room doesn’t break out
into sheer laughter well the Empire
doesn’t consider a small one-man fighter
to be any threat
Oh they’d have a tighter defense this
display makes it look like they’re
planning an early 90s land party as
opposed to taking down an intergalactic
Empire as cheesy as this may look though
there’s no denying Star Wars impact on
cinema to this day the shaft leads
directly to the reactor system a precise
hit will start a chain reaction which
should destroy the station number two
the fax machine Back to the Future Part
2 hey again how’s it hanging McFly the
fax machine is a staple of the modern
world
now we have the ability to send faxes
not just the old-fashioned way but we
can also deliver them electronically
through our email accounts you are
terminated in the second installment of
the Back to the Future franchise we get
a glimpse of the 2015 model read my
house please no I cannot be fired I’m
fired what might have looked cool at its
release looks more like an oversized
pager or a briefcase with a few shiny
buttons
not exactly the future we currently live
in now is it before we unveil our top
pick here are a few honorable mentions
judging from early estimates
begins there a city and ruins our hard
time keeping track road look number one
mother 6,000 alien unfortunately even
classic science fiction films have the
tendency to look dated as time goes on
but alien as a whole still looks great
to this day thanks to the genius of
Ridley Scott and his incredible crew
however the one aspect that stands out
as borderline ridiculous is the odd and
dated computer interface dubbed mother
with time capsule worthy computer
screens a bulky design and more buttons
than the crew knows what to do with this
mainframe can make viewers doubt the
time period in which this is supposedly
taking place do you agree with our list
you should know it’s not our system
what’s your favorite hilariously dated
futuristic movie device will use the
orgasmatron that’s a good idea come on
for more hilarious top 10s published
