5 Futuristic Movie Toys We Want Now
Science fiction films set in the future are cool for so many reasons, but a lot of their coolness comes from showing us a world full of awesome things weve never seen before and may never get to see in our lifetimes.
Last year, when Marty McFlys Nike shoes from Back to the Future were being sold online I got strangely excited, and I desperately wanted a pair. I even checked eBay pretty much every day for two weeks at first to see if I could ever afford them, and after realizing only movie stars and pop singers could actually afford them without having to take out a loan, I still checked on the site just so I could dream of what it would be like to own a pair.
I was stupid basically and thank God I didnt have the money to buy them. They were nowhere near as cool as in the film and let's face it, I would have looked fairly ridiculous walking down the street with them on (you don't know me, for all you know I would have looked awesome). That said, if many of the toys and gadgets listed here actually became a reality, I would probably consider becoming a bank robber just so I could own any one of them.
Science has brought the world so many cool things in the last 100 years. In fact, if it wasn't for these scientific advancements I certainly wouldn't be writing this post: not only would there be no Internet, there would be no computers, no films, no television... Pretty much everything cool in the world wouldn't exist. And if the last 100 years did all this, just think what the next could bring. Who knows, looking back at this list in 50 years could be like us looking back at mobile phones from the 80s.
So here it is, the list of 5 awesome things that I really want this year for Christmas from the movies, but I'd be lucky to get in 25 Christmas Day's time Here's hoping.
FYI As this list is Futuristic movie toys, don't expect to see anything Star Wars related. As cool as the lightsaber is, any fan of Star Wars knows that those films did not take place in the future, but a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away
