Future: What does it contribute to humanity? A utopian civilization where the exponential technological advances of humanity eliminate poverty, hunger and desire? Cybernetic dictatorship where perceptive AI supplies the electrical energy of the imprisoned human body? A dystopian wasteland where the brutal ambivalence of capitalism in the face of climate change has destroyed the Earth’s ecosystems? Or a planet dominated by apes – open your heart here -?
Please explain your possible future. There may be a movie about it. In fact, science fiction media have influenced the development of technology. In different ways over the last 150 years. Some of the best movies of all time imagine what the future will bring, whether it’s for philosophical pursuits or just because robots and spaceships are fun. Whichever style you prefer, there are plenty of fantastic movie stories waiting to be announced in future releases.
This is a great movie that will thrill you and scare you no matter what the future holds.
Interestelar (2014)
Christopher Nolan became a modern star in the sci-fi genre when he released 2014’s Inception, a sequel to the more ambitious Interstellar. NASA pilot in 2067. Dramatic ecological changes have made the planet increasingly habitable, and a coalition of scientists has begun looking for ways for humanity to survive with other colonized worlds.
If you’re a fan of modern science fiction, you’ve probably already seen “interstellar.” But if you haven’t yet, or even after a while, it’s worth a visit. The visuals and overwhelming musical score by Hans Zimmer are just as beautiful and memorable as they were at the time of the film’s release, due to climate change. Crisis more urgent than ever, The “interstellar” theme has become more powerful and vibrant. This is a film that celebrates the potential of human cooperation and scientific progress, while addressing the very real possibilities of what Earth could look like in the future.
On top of that, “Interstellar” is a beautifully made movie. Nolan’s talent for rhythm, drama, and mystery is clearly evident here, and the performances by McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine, and other actors are extraordinary.
She (2013)
Have you ever wondered what would happen if you fell in love with Siri? Fortunately, Spike Jonze made a movie to help answer that question.
“Her” will take place on a version of Earth in the near future where AI embedded in smartphones and computers will completely change the cultural makeup of society… or will it? The film follows the life of Theodore Tumbly (Joaquin Phoenix), a writer who strikes up an affair with the AI on his new mobile phone, Samantha (Scarlett Johansson), after breaking up with his wife.
And it’s kind of a complete plot.
The general phrase in science fiction suggests that a story like “she” must end badly. A kind of miserable warning is directed at the audience not to fall in love with her phone under any circumstances. Still, Johnze’s movie has such a dark ending. It is a film that is more interested in questions than answers, focusing on the possibilities of how technology can change the world, rather than whether those changes are objectively good or bad.
Like “Interstellar,” “She” is a beautifully made movie. Phoenix shines as ever, bringing endless nuance and depth to the quiet Theodore’s subtle mannerism. In addition, the aesthetics of the cinema has an elegance that gives it a futuristic and realistic atmosphere at the same time.
Cloud Atlas (2012)
There is a great science fiction movie about human nature and the future, written and directed by the Wachowski sisters. No, I’m not talking about the Matrix. not yet.
“Cloud Atlas” is a complex, polar and controversial film. Just look at the 66% Rotten Tomatoes rating to see the division it caused among critics, but its score doesn’t tell the whole story. At 172 minutes, “Cloud Atlas” is a large-scale film that covers six different stories in six completely separate periods, connected only by a drifting document that lasts from one arc to the next. This is the same structure used in the David Mitchell film base book, but there is disagreement about how well that structure actually works on screen.
Creatively, “Cloud Atlas” is very unique. The protagonist of each timeline is played by the same cast led by Tom Hanks and Halle Berry. They switch roles, as well as ethnicities and genders, over and over again over the course of the film. This experimental casting approach received understandable criticism, leading to further polarization. At its core, however, there is something completely unique about “Cloud Atlas.” It’s a story about the future, but it’s also a story about the past, a story about how humans fall into the same pattern of behavior, good and bad, throughout the ages. It’s about incarceration and freedom, identity and connection, and trying to pack them all into one movie can be quite annoying. But even now, ten years after its release, there is nothing like “Cloud Atlas”.
Matrix (1999)
Yes Yes. Now you can talk about The Matrix.
If you haven’t seen “The Matrix” yet, you’ll probably see “The Matrix.” If you’ve seen “The Matrix,” you probably need to watch “The Matrix” again. And yes, all of them.
Few films have influenced the science fiction that Wachowski’s blockbuster has received in the last two decades. Sure, there was a lot of caution about AI and VR, but The Matrix took things to another level. The juxtaposition of the fluid, cybernetic aesthetic of the Matrix with the cruel apocalyptic imagery of the outside world is a cruel portrait of what is possible, but the futurists in the film are warning signs of the dangers of technology.
For example, in The Matrix Resurrections, humans and certain machines work in harmony, both performing feats that are impossible independently. Throughout all the films, this series presents both the potential risks and benefits of advanced technology, while at the same time explaining the ideas of human identity, destiny, purpose, community, creativity, and faith. The “Matrix” franchise is packed with insane amounts and parts of it can be quite confusing, especially in later movies. But overall, this is a series that holds up incredibly well and rewards repeated viewing with new surprises and reveals.
Wally (2008)
Pixar films cover a wide range of settings, from children’s rooms full of emotional toys, to retro superhero cities, to the deep sea and, of course, to the future. Some still consider “Wally” to be the best animated film the studio (Vulture) has ever produced, and there’s a good reason. At the time, Vista Shots of the Earth alone was enough to put all previous animated movies to shame. Even though it’s covered in garbage cans, the world created by Pixar in “Wally” is amazing, and it still is today. The story of a ruthless company that turns the earth into an uninhabitable wasteland resonates more than ever, and the simple love story between Wally and Eve still has plenty of fun.
If WALL-E has a downside, it’s that the two halves of the movie feel a bit uneven. The almost silent first act is beautiful, memorable and sweet. Animators get a lot of excitement out of WALL-E and EVE, and when the movie hits the human ship, expectations for the rest of the movie are very high. Unfortunately, the Axiom part of “WALL-E” feels a bit more standard. The human characters don’t resonate as strongly as the robots, and the villain’s story feels a bit terrible. Still, “Wally” is one of the best movies Pixar has ever made, and one of the most impressive. The best achievement of all.
Robocop (1987)
Speaking of robots, it’s quite a different robot movie than “Wally.” “Robocop,” along with “Terminator” and “Aliens,” is probably best remembered as one of the definitive sci-fi action movies of the 1980s. And that’s fair enough. The famous Robocop is undoubtedly an icon of action. But Paul Verhoeven’s gritty sci-fi tale is packed with much more than just a great fight. The director is known for including a lot of satire and subtext in his films, and “Robocop” is no exception.
The film primarily depicts police corruption and how it relates to the privatization of security and the prioritization of corporate ownership over public security. Robocop himself was created by a private technology company that took over all police activities in Detroit and eventually revealed that he was destroying the city from the shadows. they fully address the atrocities and corruption many people are protesting today, but many of the themes still resonate.
Dunes (2021)
Do you want to visit the future? The “dune” is as future as possible. Specifically, it was about 20,000 years later. When the true story of the “Planet of Sand” began, humanity had already lacked artificial intelligence, robots, and advanced computers for 10,000 years. This is the result of a kind of holy war in the franchise’s past (but our future is a bit difficult) to trace, all those “thinking machines” destroyed due to the threat they posed. The place where it was made. That’s why Frank Herbert’s original novel, David Lynch’s 1984, and Denis Villeneuve’s 2021 film adaptation, “Dune,” are a particularly unique vision of the future.
While we’ll be focusing on Villeneuve’s recent adaptations, Lynch’s films have their benefits too, and Herbert’s novels remain an absolute classic decades later. There is no AI or virtual reality in the future of this “dune”. Instead, progress is achieved by purely human means: thousands of years of breeding and genetic programs, and rigorous training and long-term exposure to the spirit-changing drug concoction, more commonly known as spices. mental ability. But, like the technological advances of more traditional science fiction, the human progress of the “dune” has no ethical component.
Villeneuve’s films are magnificent in audiovisual expression, with star-studded casts, and bring to life the unique world of Herbert’s novels in a stunning way. The “dune” is more than a story about the future: it is a story about human nature, faith, politics, religion, science and family.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes: Genesis (2011)
The original “Planet of the Apes” is a sci-fi classic with the grand theme of humanity’s self-destructive nature and the inevitable destruction of the people who run it. If you haven’t seen it yet and you’re okay with the outdated special effects, it’s definitely worth a look, but it’s not the Planet of the Apes movie we’re talking about today. Instead, the latest “Planet of the Apes: Genesis” trilogy, which began with “Planet of the Apes: Genesis” in 2011 and continued with “Planet of the Apes: Genesis” and “Planet of the Apes: War”. . “Rise of the Planet of the Apes: Genesis”, the last two by Matt Reeves (“Batman”).
Starring Andy Serkis in motion capture performances for many years as Caesar, the leader of the apes, this trilogy is very different from the original. It is set in a timeline in Earth’s near future, where dangerous transmissions will spread throughout the world, killing most humans and, as we know it, lead to the collapse of civilization. But that same transmission makes other apes on Earth much more intelligent, ultimately making them the dominant species.
What if humanity is no longer the ruling class on earth? What happens on our behalf and how do we react? These are the questions raised by the “Rise” trilogy, beautifully explored through the film’s amazing special effects, tense action, and elegant writing.
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (1984)
Studio Ghibli had not yet been officially established when Hayao Miyazaki created “Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind”. But don’t fool him. This sci-fi epic from 1984 has the same characteristics as the late Miyazaki. “Nausicaa” will take place in the distant future, a thousand years after the apocalyptic war devastated human civilization and turned many of the planet’s wild animals into deadly beasts.
The main themes here continue to resonate throughout Miyazaki’s later films: environmentalism, the importance of living in harmony with nature, and the inherent evil of war and violence. The world depicted in “Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind” is drawn from other stories from the distant future, but at the same time their influence doesn’t interfere with the strikingly original look and feel. It was not only alert and horror, but also a vision of a beautiful and peaceful future, showing from the start what the world should expect from Miyazaki’s epic film.
Edge of Tomorrow (2014)
Movies about the future tend to go very deep into the themes of humanity and society as a whole, which can be a bit heavier. But science fiction novels can be funny too, so let’s talk about “the edge of tomorrow.”
Based on Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s light novel “All You Need Is Kill,” Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt appear as soldiers protecting Earth from alien invasion. On the same day, the battle will be repeated many times. The Edge of Tomorrow isn’t too far from its beginnings and is technically timeless, but it belongs here because the history of tech movies remains undeniably futuristic. ..
It’s also a great sci-fi action movie. Brant and Cruise are great, the effects and stunts are exciting, and the concept of time loops is connected to a larger story in an interesting way. With a certified fresh rating of 91% Rotten Tomatoes, “Edge of Tomorrow” was great at the time and it’s still perfect to watch and rewatch for the first time.
Ex-machine (2014)
Alex Garland’s “Ex Machina” is near the future, and the only real break from our reality is the AI, Ava (Alicia Vikander), at the heart of the film’s plot. Domhnall Gleeson and Oscar Isaac are the only other major actors in the film, as the story itself is very self-contained. But without a doubt, that hyperfocus plays in favor of the film.
“Ex Machina” is a movie about AI, but it is the flip side of the standard official script for such a movie. The villain here is human, the danger is the danger created by humans, and in most cases the danger to the AI itself. This is a story about how men (some are decent and some can be blamed) rule the software industry. What does that mean for future technological development. Isaac’s Nathan Bateman personality is abhorrent, and his experiments with AI come from the wrong motivations. But to avoid too many spoilers for those who haven’t seen the movie, we highly recommend that you watch it and leave it alone.
District 9 (2009)
What if aliens really did land on Earth? That’s the question “District 9” is trying to address, and the answer isn’t pretty.
When it was released in theaters in 2009, “District 9” received a warm and critical reception. The mockumentary’s framing device is particularly praised, and there are similarities between its sci-fi story and the true horror of apartheid South Africa. The movie setup is novel, but very simple. A spaceship full of alien refugees has landed in Johannesburg and its passengers are allowed to stay in an isolated slum called District 9. Sharlto Copley was accidentally exposed to a substance that turned him into one of the aliens while carrying out a plan to refuel the spaceship. spaceship and escape in District 9.
While “District 9” is a fresh and compelling sci-fi story, it’s even more powerful as a story about racism and the brutal treatment of refugees. Most science fiction movies make aliens enemies or allies of humanity. Rarely is there a portrayal of alien life in which humans are clearly villains and oppressors, like in District 9. It’s a unique and memorable take on this genre, and it remains a gem, more than a decade after the release of the movie.
Treasure Planet (2002)
The 1990s were a time of great success for Disney animated films. Often referred to as the “Renaissance of Disney”. “Beauty and the Beast”, “Aladdin”, “The Lion King”, “Mulan”, “Tarzan” – all these films have been released in just 10 years and are have become one of the most important films… A time that was acclaimed in the history of the company.
But we’re not here to talk about all the incredibly successful Disney movies that everyone already knows. We will talk about what many people have forgotten in 2002, just a few years after the Renaissance. “Treasure Planet” is a science fiction rendering of the classic adventure novel “Treasure Island” by Robert Louis Stevenson. It’s the cosmic early 2000s story of an anxious, spirited, and beautifully constructed teenager (from lead singer of the Goo Goo Dolls to sad boy Ballad).
“Treasure Planet” has a powerful future aesthetic that is arguably the main draw. The spaceship looks like a pirate ship with a huge fusion drive behind it. The universe itself is full of colorful nebulae and swarms of moving creatures. All the planets and spaceports combine Elizabeth’s style and future technology in a way that is neither steampunk nor cyberpunk. Fresh, the story is moving and funny. “Treasure Planet” may not exist at Disney’s Pantheon, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t.
BladeRunner (1982)
“Blade Runner” is one of the most influential movies in all of science fiction and has an impressive vision of the future. He helped establish cyberpunk as a subgenre. Ridley Scott was very successful in creating the future of a dirty industry with “Aliens” in 1979 (artist HR Giger is also heavily credited), and in 1982 he followed up on the idea with Blade Runner.
Set in the distant future of 2019, “Blade Runner” is a film noir-inspired story of freedom, identity, and android. At this point, the film is based on Philip K. Dick’s novel “Does Android Dream of Electric Sheep?”—It has become an integral part of pop culture and, over the years, countless stories have been influenced by pop culture, which may mean their importance is unclear today. But at the time, it was a smoggy neon light idea. , The overcrowded future was not so common. Scott’s cinematic world captivated audiences in 1982 and continues to do so today.
Dennis Villeneuve’s sequel “Blade Runner 2049” is a worthy successor in its own right and a great movie. If you haven’t read it yet, be sure to check it out.
Back to the Future II (1989)
There are a lot of heavy, dark movies about the future, but sometimes we need something lighter or more classic. To be fair, only one of the three “Back to the Future” movies, “Back to the Future II,” gets much actual screen time in the future. Like many of the older movies on this list, its future date, 2015, is a long way off. But now, hoverboard? Who doesn’t like hoverboards?
“Back to the Future” is weird — Definitely, sometimes too weird.. There is a problem. However, the eccentric time traveler Hyzink, who became a classic in the 80s, still has a lot to offer. Christopher Lloyd is on another planet with a weird performance, and every second he’s on screen is hilarious. Would you like to turn the DeLorean into a time machine? Symbolic. Would you like to turn the train into a time machine? Just as symbolic. It’s weird, ambitious, funny and weird again.
After all these years, we still ask ourselves: Where is our hoverboard?
Reminiscence (2021)
There are plenty of classic movies about the future, but what about something new? “Reminiscence” didn’t win the warmest reception from critics when it was released in 2021, but this twisted neo-noir thriller still has plenty of love.
Starring Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Ferguson and Thandiwe Newton, “Reminiscence” will take place on Earth in the near future, where rising sea levels have transformed coastal cities into semi-submerged metropolises with stark choropleth maps. The story here is pretty standard fare for this genre. Men love women, women disappear, men try to find them, and men engage in major criminal activity in relation to the ruling class. But the fun comes from the memory technology at the heart of the story, a technology that allows people to relive and even visually project the moments before their lives over and over again.
The idea that nostalgia will become a popular commodity in a world facing crisis and devastation is… kind of dark, but full of possibility. Unfortunately, the “memory” wastes much of its potential by falling back on the more familiar and tired narrative metaphor. Still, there are plenty of highlights here. The action is stylish and the world itself is impressive with its horror. “Badlands-The Strongest Warriors” star Daniel Wu stands out beautifully (albeit too short) as St. Joe, the angry crime ruler.
“Memories” were never possible, but they’re still a fascinating glimpse into the future and a fun ride.
Snow Driller (2013)
Bong Joon-ho set the world on fire with “parasites” in 2019, but the Korean director already had an impressive filmography to his name, including “snowpiercers” by then. ..
Starring Chris Evans, Song Kang-Ho, Ed Harris and Tilda Swinton, Snowpiercer is the only place humans can survive as efforts to reverse global warming make the planet cold and uninhabitable. train that orbits the earth at high speed. Of course, Snowpiercer’s situation isn’t quite the same, and the class divide between the haves and have-nots eventually escalates into open conflict.
Today, “Snowpiercers” have gained a significant cultural presence in the English-speaking world due to the TV adaptation on Forex (also worth checking out). And if you really want to go back to the source, you can check out Jacques Lob’s original French graphic novel “Le Transperceneige.” But for now, let’s cover the movie. It received high praise upon release. And it’s still great. It’s a powerful narrative idea, realized with stunning visuals and a great ensemble performance from everyone involved.
There’s a lot of talk about class discrimination in the post-apocalypse, but Snowpiercers’ unique style and world-building set it apart from other competitors. It’s a great watch that’s fresh, exciting, sometimes anxious, from start to finish.
Martian (2015)
Ridley Scott will make his second appearance on this list in the 2015 sci-fi survival movie Martian, based on Andy Weir’s 2011 novel of the same name. “Cast Away” in Space is a simple way to explain this movie. , but it is only part of the truth. In fact, “Martian” is about as common of a space disaster movie as “Apollo 13,” which features a pretty big ensemble star in addition to the lead performance by Matt Damon.
Jessica Chastain, Jeff Daniels, Kristen Wiig, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Sean Bean, Michael Pena, Donald Glover and Benedict Wong all appear in ‘Martians,’ but it’s a full cast. There are none. You’d expect the movie’s drama to expand with so many talented actors, and you’d be right. The “Martians” are a fascinating quest for what colonization of other planets will look like, the dangers inherent, and how human ingenuity and cooperation can deal with them. It’s not just tense, it’s uplifting. Especially the Martian scene is impressive.
This is quite a specific subgenre and is not suitable for everyone. But if you love survival/disaster movies and love space, then “Martian” is for you.
Tomorrow’s World (2006)
Alfonso Cuarón’s “Tomorrow World” is a stark take on dystopia. This is the Earth of the near future, where the entire human race is rendered sterile and confused by the discovery of the secret of a young girl who can give birth. The film stars Clive Owen, Claire Hope City, Julianne Moore, Michael Caine and Chiwetel Ejiofor, based on the 1992 PD James novel of the same name.
The “sons of men” are worth seeing only in the filming with the most roles. Impressive long shot In a modern cinema. But the movie isn’t just about beautiful, boring production designs and impressive camera choreography. The acting is powerful and throws the real-life despair of the film on the faces of those who watch it. It’s a film about hope, but it’s also a film about tragedy and cruelty. Like most of Quaron’s films, “Tomorrow World” is brilliantly crafted, from sharp scripts to editing and everything in between. The only reason I don’t watch it is that it’s a bit annoying to be fair. But even in the film’s deep-seated pessimism, there’s still a flicker of better things to come.
Metropolis (1927)
If you like science fiction, you are probably familiar with the 1927 German silent film Metropolis. The film is celebrating its 100th anniversary and is rightfully cited as one of the most influential films to date. But you may not have actually seen the movie, and maybe you should.
To be fair, it wasn’t always easy watching “Metropolis.” The original cut, which took over two and a half hours, was lost decades ago and there was a lot of different stuff going on over the years of efforts to restore a version as close to the original version as possible. These latest successful efforts were released in 2010, were recorded in 148 minutes, and contain almost all original content.
So what is the real “metropolis”? The film will take place in the City of the Future, where the rich will prosper using the working class. The working class fights with deadly mechanical wards and lives underground. The main setting revolves around the son of a city leader who falls in love with working-class organizers and takes part in a mission to make Metropolis an equal place. There are also terrifying robot women. This is probably the most famous movie for those who have never seen it. Today, the story may not sound so original, but remembering that Metropolis was created almost a century ago, everything is even more impressive. “Metropolis” is far from modern cinema, but it is worth seeing as an elegant museum piece.
Mad Max series (various)
Just as “Blade Runner” turned neo-noir cyberpunk into a popular sci-fi aesthetic, George Miller’s “Mad Max” series set the standard for post-apocalyptic stories set in the desert wastelands. From the aesthetic of leather and steel gangsters from the wasteland to the near deification of gasoline, “Mad Max” has established many great metaphors. Today, this series is probably best known for the Academy Award-winning “Mad Max Angry Road.” This is possibly the best entry for the entire franchise. But Miller’s original “Mad Max” trilogy still has some fun in it.
It’s kind of hard to go back to the original “Mad Max”, although it’s influencing the future of the movie. The production looks a bit old and cheap, but it’s fair. However, “Mad Max 2”, also known as “Road Warrior”, still holds up quite a bit. If you enjoy the weird elements of “Fury Road,” “Mad Max: Beyond the Thunder Dome” is also worth watching. The entire series has a particular aesthetic that has never been fully duplicated, regardless of how many times it has been imitated.
Intimate (2011)
Comprehensive rating of just 37% Rotten Tomatoes, 2011 “In Time” may not seem worth seeing at face value. And to be fair, there are a lot of issues with the movies, mostly related to pacing and storytelling. However, I still have a lot to like here. Several prominent critics, including Roger Ebert, quite enjoyed “In Time” and praised its unique premise and vision for the future.
Basically, “in time” refers to the future, where time is the primary currency. People’s life expectancy is calculated like a bank account, and that time can be stolen, traded, gambled, or lost. This creates a world where the rich can live forever, but everyone else just has to scrape together what they can to stay alive. It is a world full of dark, brutal and interesting ideas.
These ideas may not work out as the final film, but “In Time” is still fun to watch. The cast has many stars like Justin Timberlake, Amanda Sayfried, Cillian Murphy, Matt Bomer, Alex Pettyfer, Vincent Kartheiser, Olivia Wilde and they play well with each other. “In Time” shows a dangerous future, but it also shows a stylish future on a big screen.
12 Monkeys (1995)
“12 Monkeys” is a wild ride on film. Directed by Monty Python alum Terry Gilliam and starring Bruce Willis, Madeleine Stowe and Brad Pitt, the film will be set in a future where most of humanity has been wiped out by a mysterious virus. Or at least part of the movie will take place in the future. Bruce Willis’ James Cole character will continue to be sent back again and again to prevent the virus from being released, so the rest will be set for various other periods before the extinction event.
The story quickly gets confusing, but that’s part of the fun of Gilliam’s movies. The “12 monkeys” are mainly about the subjectivity of memory, and the idea comes in a narrative format that does its best to confuse the viewer. What is the reality and what do you imagine? It’s not a movie about a big twist, it’s a movie about uncertainty, and it pays to watch it repeatedly.
There’s also a Syfy TV adaptation, which is pretty good in itself, so check out the original movie and if you like what you’re seeing, maybe give it a shot too.
Cinematics(2012)
Willis I compared this next movie to “12 Monkeys.” And together they will create an amazing dual function.
One of the best time travel movies of the 21st century, «Cinematics. is written and directed by Rian Johnson (“Knives Out,” “The Last Jedi of Star Wars”) from a story written and directed by Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt, Joseph Gordon-Levitt. This mind-blowing sci-fi action movie pits future hit men against their former selves. There are plenty of twists and turns, flashy action sequences, and some pretty noble time travel ideas.
The success of the looper lies mainly in balancing several factors. Time travel and future technology are interesting, but the movies don’t delve into the weeds trying to explain how it all works. By contrast, the action and suspense aspects of the film are tense and exciting, but not completely under control, making it a big, insubstantial spectacle. «Cinematics. it’s fun, explosive, spiritually engaging and exciting from start to finish.
We apologize for the inconvenience (2018)
2018’s “Sorry to Mother You” may be the weirdest movie on this list, but it’s also one of the best. Written and directed by Boots Riley, starring LaKeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, Omari Hardwick and Terry Crews, it is a surreal black comedy about capitalist corruption, labor exploitation, discrimination against black people and genetic mutation… The film has a lot of content in just 112 minutes and while they’re all beautiful comics, it’s incredibly dark.
The basic scenario of “Sorry to Mother You” revolves around a big hit after the main character, Cash (Stanfield), started working as a telemarketer and started using “white voice” on the phone. His world is clearly dystopian, but it’s very similar to ours, which makes the most brutal divergence all the more impressive. Throughout the story, Cash becomes involved in a growing labor movement, the wealthy and immoral upper class of businessmen, and strange scientific experiments with dramatic impacts (he may already know what will happen). Maybe, but otherwise he certainly won’t predict it. ).
Attractive, powerful, fun and elegant. It’s an impressive show from all the creators involved, and like any other great sci-fi, it’s pondering.
