Tips: The best feature films about the future and alternatives

A great, albeit frightening, film that blights the future of humanity in the next few thousand years. The strip is based on the eponymous book by sci-fi giant Stanislaw Lem.

A very successful movie about artificial intelligence and what we can expect ...

It is hardly possible to be more gloomy: due to genetic engineering, no food grows anymore. A space expedition should find a new world for humanity. And then everything is different ... Awesome of Christopher Nolan with Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway.

One of the best films of the last years ever - without any action, but with almost metaphysical knowledge.

"WALL-E The last one cleans up the earth", on the other hand, is certainly a film that one likes to watch with a younger audience. (FSK 0) Aside from being lovingly made, it raises the awareness of garbage and pollution on Earth, at best, even among the smallest of us. A modern robot fairy tale - not just for kids. WALL-E tells of pollution of the planet until it became uninhabitable, of consumerism, which led to this situation (and continues to take place, just elsewhere, in search of new space that one can -well re-destroy) from the beginning of consciousness at WALL-E itself and last but not least abandonment. When WALL-E is finally no longer alone on earth, he wants to lose his (her) "new friend" at no cost. WALL-E is a fairy tale about friendship or love, as one might understand it, with many sociocritical elements. What I particularly liked is the silence of the movie, above all, the first 40 minutes are almost without language. [AO Scott of The New York Times described it as "a cinematic poem of so much wit and beauty that its darker consequences will infiltrate only after some time"] 2009 received the Oscar for Best Animated Film. He was 2016 29. 21 in the most important films of the 5 in a poll of the BBC XNUMX. Century. Somehow cute, this WALL-E. (In sequences, WALL-E also remembers "Number XNUMX is alive!" ... who can remember.)

In the distant future, rich people are "immortal", personality is stored on chips, the body becomes an interchangeable shell.

A disturbing film as a mirror of our social system.

If all humanity can not have children anymore. Dystopia by Alfonso Cuarón with Clive Owen and Julianne Moore.

And another terrible vision of the future ...

Man has to fall in love and live as a couple. Those who are alone have 44 days under government supervision to enter into a new relationship. If you can not do it, you only have to live in flight or be transformed into an animal of choice.

A magnificently populated, very brutal film that clearly falls into the category absolutely worth seeing. But not for the faint-hearted!

This, I think, need not be said.

The film is based on the novel "The Circle" by Dave Eggers 

Maybe a bit abstract for this list, but (not only) regarding the recent ethical transgressions in genetic manipulation, in any case, a movie for reflection. The film is based on the novel "Everything we had to give" by the author and Nobel laureate in literature Kazuo Ishiguro.

Yes, surprisingly a Netflix production. Nevertheless, director Bong Joon-Ho succeeds in questioning our consumer behavior and our relationship with the food industry in "Okja". It highlights the cruelty of the meat industry, brings possible consequences of genetic engineering and breeding into play, reveals the absurdity of marketing strategies and the manipulability and indifference of the consumer masses (and much more) Despite moving fable Okja is no kitsch and no children's film. In general, the film is difficult to assign to a single genre. From the narration of a human-animal friendship between Okja and Mija, which ultimately may also serve as a metaphor for the relationship between human and nature in general, the film points out that this relationship is already related to the relationship between capitalism and nature. was replaced. Anyway, Tilda Swinton and Jake Gyllenhaal and of course Ahn Seo-hyeon are Mija. He is released from 12 years. [Add .: #meat consumption, #breeding, #blood protection]

Content: The highly educated Ben (Viggo Mortensen) lives by conviction with his six children in the solitude of the mountains in northwestern America. He teaches them and not only teaches them above-average knowledge, but also how to hunt and survive in the wild. When his wife dies, he is forced, together with the offspring, to leave his self-made dropout idyll and face the real world. In their old, rickety bus, the family sets off across the US for the funeral, which is supposed to take place with their grandparents. Her journey is full of strange as well as touching moments that question Ben's ideals of freedom and his ideas of education.

The horror notion: what happens when a machine becomes more intelligent than humans? Director Alex Garland also plays with this idea in his feature film "Ex Machina" from 2015.

The Oscar-winning film is about a web programmer, Caleb, who is chosen by a large company called "Bluebook" to spend a week away from civilization with the company's CEO, Nathan. This week, Caleb will use the Turing test to test the latest and secret experiment of the highly intelligent, megalomania-driven company founder. This is Ava, a female machine designed to have human consciousness through artificial intelligence. It is equipped with skills such as self-awareness, imagination, sexuality, empathy and possibly also manipulation. In this test, not only the viewer, but also Caleb loses the overview between human and machine action.

A certain skepticism towards artificial intelligence is confirmed by films like this and further questions and necessary discussion points arise. The use of artificial intelligence is no longer a question of yes or no, because it is already part of our everyday life - whether in public transport, in industry or in our own four walls with "Alexa" and "Siri". The real future questions are rather: how far will people go with artificial intelligence? When is the limit reached? And who will set this limit?

One of the best films ever!
