dystopia movies were always my favorite genre of movie. something about them is just great, i think it is the inversion of the normal movie hero arc. with a dystopia movie half the time you end up with a "bad" ending, so its fairly unpredictable. there have been a lot of good ones lately like Snowpiercer (2013) and Elysium (2013) but i have always liked the classic 70s version of these movies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49IcrH4Bhq0 Logans Run  Logans Run is my favorite Sci-Fi movie of all time. the sound and visual effects are just spectacular, and the music is unbeatable. this movie takes place in a Dome city in the 23rd century. i think a nuclear war happened or something? no one really knows why they live in the dome, its not explained very well. the dome is run by an evil computer that murders everyone when they turn 30. Logan is a Dome Cop whos job it is to kill people that do not show up to the public ceremony, to be exploded by the computer on their 30th birthday. he goes rogue and tries to escape on his 30th birthday Soylant Green https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVpN312hYgU Soylant Green is my second favorite Sci-Fi movie. Its people This movie take place in 2022, so 6 years from now. the world is over populated and everyone has to eat lovely blue crackers and stuff. strawberry jam will be worth $5000 a jar (better save it up now guys!). this movie is about a food riot cop who turns on the system, before realizing that there is gently caress all he can do about it because the world is out of food lol Fahrenheit 451 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cQ-yGCyjyM My third favorite sci-fi movie, Fahrenheit 451. This movie takes place in an unknown future time, where everyone goes to work on monorails and you can have big bottles of blue drugs for dinner. large flat screen TVs are mandatory, and books are illegal. the story follows a book burning cop (are you seeing a pattern in these loving movies?!) who goes rogue and starts reading the books he is assigned to burn. everyone please post you own favorite dystopia movies, or discuss one of these three!

Logan's Run is definitely underrated and mostly forgotten but a great picture. I really like They Live but I remember the first time I saw it I was super excited the glasses would be directly anti-government or anti-power and capital in general, rather than using the scapegoat of alien people with scary eyes. Still, pretty loving good

Still, pretty loving good They Live is brilliant, and i am pretty sure it could never have been made if the glasses weren't about aliens. it works great as an anti-consumerism/capitalism message anyway, Zezik doesnt seem to care

Probably Mad Max because I like Fallout so much, plus I have no hope for the future and I think we're already half way there.Rutibex posted:you should check out Battle Royale! The first time I saw this I was high as heck and spent the whole movie feeling a sense of overwhelming hopelessness and dread. It was dope.

The action scenes are brutal and well done, the story is easy to follow, the characters are interesting, they give just enough info to set the world up, and the acting is pretty great. Even better, it doesn't waste your loving time: barely over 90 minutes, it gets in, tells it's story, and get's out without dragging anywhere. How action packed dystopias should be.

I liked how wonderfully hosed up the world in the Aeon Flux animated series was. A place where border control was managed by amputation on the spot and the war dead are dropped into their city of origin via coffin parachute by the victor.

Mo_Steel posted:Awesome, gonna have to watch this. I loved the modern Dredd! It told its small little story, and didn't get caught up in world building (like most movies would). Mega City One was just a setting, the background. that was refreshing, not to be treated like an idiot for once in a super hero comic movie.

I like Dystopia movies that are realistic to what humanity is heading towards along with elements of mystery; Blade Runner and 13 Monkeys. More toward the cheesy action side, Freejack and Escape from L.A. both are favorites.

I think I'm one of the 10 or so people that liked Johnny Neumonic. It has Keanu Reeves, Ice-T, Dolph Lundgren, Henry Rollins, and a cybernetic dolphin.
