Equilibrium
The Omega Man
The Hunger Games is ok but the sequels were way too predictable

Don't forget Demolition Man, RoboCop and The Running Man too.

 

[Axxe55]

Interstellar is another great movie. Probably one of the best.

[Axxe55]

Yours is a minority opinion but I'm right there with you.

I loved it. One of the more authentic versions of time travel I have ever seen in a movie.

You guys listed some great ones. I'll add Farenheit 451, Logand's Run, Soylent Green.

I loved it. One of the more authentic versions of time travel I have ever seen in a movie.

That time dilation segment is just mind bending.

I love the fact that the work they did in this movie modeling black holes actually helped advance science’s understanding of black holes.

What an awesome film.

Equilibrium
The Omega Man
The Hunger Games is ok but the sequels were way too predictable

Don't forget Demolition Man, RoboCop and The Running Man too.

The Running Man - the short story not the insipid movie! Read it and The Long Walk - by Stephen King under the pseudonym Richard Bachman - as they take place in a dystopia not far from here in time or space.

The Day After
Threads
Dr. Strangelove
The Postman
On The Beach (The original is OK, the new Australian one was awesome.) Can be watched on YouTube.
Damnation Alley
Mad Max Series

I thought the attack scene for The Day After was pretty much a textbook example of a Russian ICBM attack.

They Live
View attachment 236850

One of the greatest fight scenes ever filmed.

 

[candcallen]

How in God's name did I forget They Live and Book of Eli?

"I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum."

OK - Y'all try this one on for size...

A Boy and His Dog

Epic.

A Boy and His Dog

Epic.

The ending was excellent.

Will we be living a dystopian like life in the near future?

From a film series that may have dystopian elements at times, depending on your "point of view", I give you a warning.......

Great suffering is certainly dystopian.

The ending was excellent.

Very tasty, I'm sure.
