Literally just star trek
Feels dystopian to me
only teens who think school is the "matrix" say this
Nah. That's the worst case scenario. Even has shrinks in the future.
The Orville
Starship Troopers
Did the braindead schizo janny actually start deleting Starship Troopers threads because they're le bots?
>They thought the future was going to be hopeful and enlightened
lol
Things on a large enough scale tend to improve, doesn't mean you can't find faults in our times, or even new forms of horror that weren't practiced in previous times.
why?
Well yeah, OP image is from a Disney World ride
Tomorrowland with george clooney? idk, havent watched it but I don't think it's dystopian.
Meet the Robinsons is another disney flick that probably counts but it's not that good.
they dont actually spend much time exploring a day in the life in that city, its wasted, like a prop
what would be interesting is a film that is like a 2hr version of this
but exploring different aspects of life in the future, not just highways, and also have characters that have their own drama
Tomorrowland is literally "The future belongs to browns, whitey: The Movie".
I don't know, what's a scifi setting with no israelites? I can't really think of any.
Star Wars has israelitey aliens but at least it doesn't have literal israelites like Dune. I wish more sci-fi took place in a galaxy that has nothing to do with Earth.
star wars isn't sci-fi you mook, it's a fantasy space opera
Why do redditors feel so smart for pointing out that Star Wars is a space opera? Space opera is a subgenre of sci-fi.
Ah yes, the magic space monks with impossible swords made of beams of plasma that can read minds and move stuff with their own. Just what I think of when I think of science.
Plasma swords or other energy-based impliments, telepathy, human psyonics, etc., are all common subjects and tropes within the general "Science-Fiction" category.
so you're just going ignore the weirding module like that
most things before 1980
Vietnam and the moon landings really changed peoples view of the future. Fantasies about space had to meet with the harsh reality there is nothing out there and space is totally hostile to life. People thought of the earth as being a nearly unlimited resource until they saw it as a tiny fragile ball from the moon. Vietnam showed the government is nothing more than a criminal organization that lies and commits mass murder. So what did that leave to believe in ? Science had already discredited religion.
Utopian settings are hardly condusive to storytelling. Where's the conflict that fuels the drama?
normal human drama
it doesn't always need to have some oppresive government, or killer robots or science gone wrong to propel the plot forward
The Jetsons
The reason why this current society is dystopian is because there is genuinely enough private wealth that if altruism was desired, a SERIOUS attempt at creating a utopia could be made
However those who collectively privately own this wealth DO NOT want thus
That is why it is dystopian.
Yeah bro those mean old rich people could have cancer cured and world-hunger ended and cars flying by tomorrow; but they just don't want to!
Governments are "richer" than ANY individual on the planet by several orders of magnitude, and have more access to resources AND the authority to utilize them however they see fit. Why haven't they made Utopia yet?
What are you even on about? Government resources are already distributed
are you being moronic on purpose? we can't have utopias for the same reason communism always ends up with the elites being beheaded by starving masses
>there is genuinely enough private wealth that if altruism was desired, a SERIOUS attempt at creating a utopia could be made
Why do people who understand nothing about how anything gets done say shit like this?
We already produce more calories than is needed for every person to live comfortably and we already distribute them so those dying from hunger almost never happens, not even in Africa. So what are morons like you even talking about?
