10 Futuristic Sci-Fi Movies That Now Take Place In The Past
Technology really hasn't advanced as far as the movies thought that it would have by 2020...
Sci-fi has always been one of cinema's most popular genres because not only does it give an easy route for audiences to suspend their disbelief, it also actively encourages the filmmakers to embrace their imagination when it comes to depicting their vision of a futuristic world.
Sometimes sci-fi will stretch the boundaries of what's possible from both a visual and technological perspective by bringing distant planets and alien races to the screen that will never exist in our lifetime, while others play it much closer to home and offer alternate realities that take place just years or decades into the future.
Given the long history of the genre, there's plenty of movies that have depicted a timeline that's already come to pass, and unsurprisingly the track record for getting it right is more than a little spotty.
Perhaps we haven't advanced as much as the creative minds behind these projects thought we would have done by now, but it still remains interesting to look at a future that is now the past, and see how we've shaped up against it.
