I'll take your word for it.

I ignored the ridicolously over-complicated trite that was the plot of that matrix pisch, and just watched the scenes with guns and rucks.

I hated that film.  A relative bought it for a birthday gift one year,  I had already seen it and hated it before.  It sat unopened before eventually being sent to the PDSA a couple of months later

Mad Max is another crap movie.  Why do these films always have a bunch of weirdos driving round in cars build from the remains of other cars which run on some kind of fuel other than petrol.  We can't even find a suitable fuel instead of petrol, what chance do a bunch of Hillbillies have after the World has ended?  Cheesy


The Postman =  crap

Water World = garbage

Total recall. Good one.

Running Man? Top film, even better book.

Vanilla Sky is technically set in the future. Cruises's best film imo.

Surely not....I thought he was great as an oompah loompah in Charlie and the chocolate factory.

They drive around in cars made of bits of other cars because their future is post apocolyptic.

I do enjoy future-esque films but there are a few that are utter pants.

Take paycheck for example.

Where does the fuel come from?    Surely Hillbillies can't invent an alternative to petrol  Cheesy

Any film where there is only one City left and it is a prison is crap.  If you then put gangs of nutters all jive talking into the script as well,  then you have a p... movie in my view

The fuel comes from the few reserves that the earth had left, In mad max 2 there was a group of people with an oil pump and they would refine the crude themselves.

As for escape from New York, that was a great cult film.

Careful sarky there are lots of holes in your argument for ALL futuristic films are crap.

I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to mis-attribute this quote to Voltaire.

Its the future, anything is possible.

Futuristic films are there to stimulate our minds to the possibilities that the future may hold, not to portray what the future will actually be like. They are primarily for our entertainment. I suggest you watch films about the past or present if you don't like films about the future.
