But then in the fifth one, it seems everyone is happy. Except for Caesar's statue of course, for some reason it starts crying. WHO TURNED ON THE FOUNTAIN? I would not know. After watching the first two I had no real desire to watch the rest. You are a very smart man.

Demolition Man (good god that would suck..it would be like living in Salt Lake City) 1984 Escape from LA (At least the government in Escape from NY wasn't fundamentalist) Idiocracy wouldn't really bother me that much, seeing as I live in So Cal and the people here aren't really that far off. I agree about Escape from LA. No red meat? No smoking? No alcohol. F that... I'd be out of there quick.

Nothing else comes close, for me.

Demolition Man (good god that would suck..it would be like living in Salt Lake City) But Taco Bell is the only surviving fast food franchise so at least there's some good with that future.

1984.
One of the most disturbing books I've read.
Probably much so because a lot of it rang true. The justifications of eroding personal liberties and resources to achieve victory over the 'Enemy'. Remind Anyone of the War On Terror?
I also would highly recommend watching the film after reading the book to gain an even more visceral insight into the bleak future Orwell portrayed for humanity.

The future in the movie "Equilibrium" would suck pretty hard.

Surprised no one mentions Running Man's future. High status people lived nice yes but the poor looked to be extremely impoverished and subjugated with the media.

I am legend looked pretty bleak, unless you were some sort of zombie thing.
Back to the Future II's future was bad in parts, double knotted ties? Fax machines? The horror.

The one from Hulk: Future Imperfect, by Peter David. Essentially, in the future, nuclear war has killed all the superheros and about three fourths of the population. The survivors are ruled with an iron fist by an insane Incredible Hulk made even more powerful after sucking up the stray radiation. Known as the Maestro, he kills anyone who could be threat, sets up a puppet government to deal with anything below his notice, and he steals any woman he feels is beautiful enough to be in his harem. Imagine a police state but with the Hulk controlling everything.
