Why are all futuristic films garbage?

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

  ,  ok I will change that to "In my view most futuristic films are crap ".   



Minority Report is terrible      (  I saw it got 4/5 in a recent online review.  I wouldn't even give it 1/5 )

I'd say it did the book justice, It was a decent movie in my opinion, My only problem was the non stop advertising, it was like watching a modern bond movie.

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

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

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.

Necessity is, after all, the mother of invention.

Sark, if questionable viability of inventions spoils your enjoyment of films, how in the name of blue hairy hell did your head get around the concept of the flux capacitor?

Thats an easy one Tanky, The flux capacitor had a techie sounding name, had flashing lights and the Doc banged his head for inspiration.

seems plausible to me

lol ,  I used wikipedia tank  .  Wikipedia got me through half of Uni before I quit recently . 

It even helped me understand the science behind 'Back to the Future'

It could be argued that any film which doesn't feature a) light sabres or b) teleport beams isn't worth watching. Does Ken Loach ever wonder why his films never make any money?

Minority Report is actually very, very good, right up until the last fifteen minutes, when Steven Spielberg smears it with the worst ending in any film, ever.

It wasn't bad.

matrix is set present day

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? 


The Postman =  crap

Water World = garbage

the matrix trilogy ia awsome mate, i have all three in the limited edition box set!

[Eyeofsauron]

Not really a film, but a five year series which is well worth watching.... Babylon 5.

Plus they did about 5 or 6 feature length films, some worth watching, others weren't too great.

I saw a good film tonight and it sort of had futuristic bits in it.  It was called  The Jacket with Keira Knightley and Adrian Broadie.  Very good film .  It started off a bit crap and it was purely due to the fact Keira Knightley was in it that I kept  watching  .  Broadie is a top class actor as well

[Snatiramas]

All futuristics filma re garbage because they are futuristic films

The original Robocop was an absolute monster. Shame it didnt end there.

The 5th Element.   It was heading for a 5/10 until the jive talking started mincing about ( Chris Rock? ) .  I hate jive talking actors. The alien opera singer didn't help the score either.  It is the break right now, but I think the final score will be 2/10.  The two points are raised purely because Milla Jovovich is in it and she is very attractive
