When it comes to sci-fi films, the genre often thrives on stories that imagine humanity's future. Some tend to take bold swings that posit an advanced society that feels plausible, like Steven Spielberg's Minority Report, which highlights a heavy reliance on technology, such as facial recognition, self-driving cars, and predictive policing to stop crime before it happens. Others speculate bleak futures where cataclysmic events have led to apocalyptic scenarios, like Snowpiercer or Mad Max, or even to authoritarian rule, as in 1984 or V for Vendetta. Some films have even lampooned humanity's direction, like Idiocracy, which presents a future where societal advancement took a steep decline, with a kakistocracy leading the country.
