Dystopian movies...........

[bbbass]

Can we include books or is that a diff thread???

 

[pronstar]

I’ll take a bit of a tangent and reco any movie from Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead franchise.

They’re a bit more campy horror but I love ‘em.

Well, believe it or not, but I liked
The Postman
Water World

Would everyone think less of me if I not only admitted to seeing Salo but also hold the opinion that it's a solid (usually blunt but undeniably solid) work of art?

Well, now I gotta look it up. Brand new to me.

Water world was a great film. First movie ever to cost over $100M to produce.

I loved that sailboat.
Captain Hazelwood's portrait and the 'smoker's oil tanker was Hollywood 'virtue signalling'?

Equilibrium, though the CGI doesn't really hold up

Does Falling Down count?

I will check out books too. It should not bother anyone.

Thanks to all for the responses...........now I have a long list to check out. Some I have seen..........many I have not.

Man i need to re-watch that movie. It has been forever.

I’m a big fan of the The Expanse. I’m kinda sad we probably won’t see another Dredd movie from the articles I read. Could be a really fun universe.

If anyone is interested in anime, Attack on Titan is good and The Kabinari of the Iron Fortress is also good.

How about the original War of the Worlds?

The John Matherson's "One Second After" series is pretty good. There are three books in the series by William Forstchen.

I prefer "Omega Man" over "I Am Legend."

I never read the book I Am Legend though. I guess I will put it on my list.

Omega Man was a classic. I Am Legend seemed like a knock-off to me.
How about Soylent Green and Book of Eli?

I Am Legend was based off the same book as Omega Man, as was Last Man On Earth.

IMO, Omega Man was the best of the three adaptations of the book.

Soylent Green is a really dark and scary movie, but very well done, and a great movie. Set in the year 2022!

Book of Eli is good one as well. First time I saw it, I didn't realize till the end that he was blind!

Cloud Atlas is another good movie that was very well done.
