Favorite dystopian movies and tv shows?

@Starcrossed Even when the end of days happens, we can still opine. 😜

@Burnley123 even when the fantasy part is far faaar to close reality.

@Starcrossed Life imitates art. I fully believe that if it wasn't for subconscious fear of climate change, Fury Road and 2049 ;would never have been made

@Starcrossed Just so you know... a lot of these are not children friendly 😅

@Kwek00 of course

@Kwek00 Metropolis.....everyone should watch this

@SW-User love this one

@SW-User that is an awesome movie, I believe that's a graphic novel turned into a movie

@SarahTheHooker New York was the best

@bhatjc ...and the soundtrack? Just wonderful! Sad to say, as a young 'un, but they don't do soundtracks like that anymore...

Sarah 💋

@SarahTheHooker No they do not. The movies from are younger days where the best 😏

@WonderGirl1 Think movies like mad max. Or most of Europe after the great wars. And I'm sorry to say what is it is looking like in the Ukraine.

@WonderGirl1 Kind of the opposite of a Utopia -- instead of everything being great and perfect, everything is falling apart into chaos.

@WonderGirl1 should go to a dictionary. Google blows cock!

@Muthafukajones Wish that was true.

@bhatjc My brother and his friends are serious Warriors philes. They've even traveled the routes they took on the subway.

That should have been a horrible movie but great direction, score, likeable characters and perfect lighting and photography just created a perfect storm.

It was a comic book on film

@bhatjc Rembrandt (the Warrior who tagged everywhere they went) was godfather to an old co-worker. He's got a pic of his baptism and Rembrandt is donning the vest and colors 👍

@SW-User That it was. The movie reflected different parts of NYC back then. There is Warrior fan groups out there. They just had a while back the surviving actors do the ride again. That must be a really cool picture. 👍

@Starcrossed I need to watch that still. It passed me by entirely, but then suddenly I'm hearing how amazing it is. I swear I used to be so much more in touch!

And we're talking original Dawn of the Dead, right? Romero or bust!

@UpsideOutInsideDown remakes are rarely good.

@Starcrossed definitely. Often such a waste

@UndeadPrivateer I've been told by several people to just power through the first season. I couldn't get into it after the first 2 episodes.

@Starcrossed Each episode is stand-alone, there's no real reason to watch them in any particular order. Feel free to jump to another season.

@wetncthru Damn right.

@MsAnnThropy mine too

@uncalled4 thanks

@uncalled4 twelve monkeys might be my favorite

@Ferric67 12 Monkeys rocked. It also made me realize that Brad Pitt had acting chops. I already knew that Bruce Willis was awesome.

@SW-User PERFECT! Thanks man! 😎

You’re welcome. Enjoy! 😁@Starcrossed

@irishmolly72 evil one at that

@SW-User or just own them cos they're classics

@Starcrossed Very true

@Earthwrap Ha ... this required crap novel in my 1998 Comp-Sci class did that to me. Moths to the Flame the Seductions of Computer Technology. It was a terrible book but somehow managed to mess my head up.

@Earthwrap that's completely understandable.


I'm not sure why I'm drawn to dystopian film. I think partially because I dream weird dreams when I do, and usually remember them easier. Not that they're good dreams, or that I like the uneasy feelings I can get watching something dystopian. Like watching a train wreck I suppose, just can't look away.

@Starcrossed They are just a disheartening reminder to me about the state of the world and the direction it's headed in. Also that people can predict such bad things when coming up with these stories and many of them become true. It's like people love suffering, violence, drama and want to see the world go down the toilet.

I need to surround myself with more positive and optimistic stuff. If I want a dystopia I can just turn on the news, read a newspaper, or basically just go out in public.

I kind of liked oryx and crake but I wish I could delete it from my memory because we are really entering a world of massive wealth inequality, more twisted than ever sexuality abuse, and oblivious morons using genetic engineering to cause massive suffering that's already underway.

@Shadyglow Will look that up

@LilMissAnonyMOUSE The latest Barbie looks pretty dystopian to me.

@meJess Good movie

@meJess they made a movie of brave new world!!?? But not California Man/Encino Man?

@PhoenixPhail Those are good pics.
CoM was hard to get into, but worth the watch.
Wasn't Alex Jones in ASD?

@SW-User One of the best movies.

@SnailTeeth Altered Carbon was great

@therighttothink50 Where he broke his glasses.

@bhatjc no.

@SW-User are there any good Aussie ones I may not know of? I love watching non-US post apocalyptic/post crash settings and interpretations [err predictions?]

@Starcrossed this isn’t an Aussie one. But there’s one I know of. “Tomorrow when the war began”.
Anything dystopia in Australia would be based on a true story lol because we are rapidly evolving into that life which is scary.

@SerenitiesScars anime :) 😄👍

Is it in English or subtitles?

They should have both on Hulu... Vrv I think usually only offers you one... But if you sign up for a free month on vrv you get access to funimation and crunchyroll and then you'd have both..

@SerenitiesScars I gots the hulus. thanks Sev! 😎

As with many things, the book is better.

@SomeLikeItHot it's rare a show freaks me out... I just couldn't with this one. The first couple episoses left me super unsettled.

@Starcrossed
The gutting of young boys does echo ugly reminders of “Jack the Ripper” even though he was London and this was New York.
