Yes it's a good movie/book, but it's message is irrelevant to us.

Soylent green, Aldous Huxley those things have a lot more in common with us than 1984.

Agreed, The Hunger Games is itself a rip-off of Battle Royale, I don't care what anybody says. Idiocracy was also put here simply because of its premise, which is juvenile at best anyway, while the film itself is no more a masterpiece than "Scary Movie".
Either Planet of the Apes and 1984 should have been included in these spots.

@ShadowSatan411

Equilibrium is a pretty scary but unique idea

@HipCovers

Equilibrium isn't exactly original; think Fahrenheit 451, mixed with Nineteen-Eighty-Four, mixed with Brave New World:
A society is told what to think by one, faceless voice (Orwell); forms of art, such as paintings, books, and poems are burned to suppress emotions (Bradbury); and the population is controlled by a drug, which everyone takes (Huxley).
It's an interesting combination, and certainly scary, but unfortunately it isn't original. The originality isn't the problem with the movie, though.

@1mchartmann

Yes I would agree Brazil is more closer to the actual trend of society and schould be at the top of any dystopic list but I think America will be worse in the future than what Brazil the movie depicts

@starelative

Some other ones: Demolition Man, 1984, THX 1138, A.I., The Sixth Day, Escape from NY/LA, Judge Dredd, Pleasantville (dystopian spoof of 1950s TV shows), Westworld, Running Man, and Total Recall.

@humanafterall3756

Terminator

@christopherpeterson199

Terminator 2 shows a pretty hellish future, every glimpse you get seems to suck royally. Mad Max 2 is where the real dystopian vision lies, also while Earth isn't really touched on my instincts say the future as depicted in Alien would have to suck as well. My personal opinion is the worst of them all is the one depicted in Children of Men. Human society and humanity itself is irreparable decay and there is no real way to save us; we've done ourselves in. The ending gives some hope but really even if the human project succeeds, the old world will have to die off anyway and that's depressing as hell.

@stevesb97

Right on with 1984. But Mad Max, Waterworld, and Terminator are all post-apocalyptic, not dystopian.

@Taaalm

As far as plots that haven't been covered, Uglies was one of my favorite childhood Dystopian books. It's not even far fetched either…I loved Gattaca's ideas, but there were aspects of it I think they were too shy with. Things I would have loved to have seen done with it, but the writers were too timid to really lay down some hard-hitting aspects of the problems with a society like that. That and they really should have had more resolution with his brother along with a better murderer. I had myself convinced it was some crazy conspiracy by the janitor, but it didn't happen. In fact, they took the easiest way out. 

@ethaneveraldo

I think Logan's Run (which happens to be one of my favorite old scifi movies) may be one of the most idealistic (and possibly even realistic) future for our species. The only real issue they had was the unneeded, dramatized population control where they kill everyone aged 30. People always die eventually, so as long as you can manage birth rates (which ironically they do in this scenario), the population, quality of life, availability of resources etc. can be maintained at an ideal level virtually forever.

Fun fact: "Logan's Run" was written as an extrapolation of '60s counterculture- ie, "don't trust anyone under 30", "bring down the Establishment". (Which was that decade's version of "OK boomer" or "subvert the dominant paradigm".)

@Yehbytheway

1984? or to me the film that is looking the most like the present day and the near future is Terry Gilliam's Brazil.

@jediknight38

Soylent Green, a movie where an overpopulated world resorts to a high tech form of cannibalism to sustain itself, scared the hell out of me the first time I saw it.

PARA UM FILME DE 1927, MUITO AVANÇADO, PARA A ÉPOCA, FIZERAM UMA ROBÔ, NOS ANOS 20! 95 ANOS ATRÁS? PERFEITO!

We watched this in class in preparation for reading The Giver

@Wabaanimkii

I really liked the idea of the hunger games but hated the styling and dialogue of the movies. I'm probably doing myself a favor by not reading the books either.


Hunger games looked sort of like the Mike Myers Cat in the Hat.

@seraalexandre9847

I'd probably suggest reading the books because the movies didn't really do much justice by leaving a lot of crucial information out.

@neckroteddy

+Wabaanimkii You may prefer Battle Royale novel ;)

@oNorw

the books are better then the movies

@joshgeorge9082

+Wabaanimkii I recommend the books, I too strongly disliked the movies but I found myself quite enjoying the novels.

@stacysaurusrex

Glad to see Fahrenheit 451 in your list

@IlluminovaNibiru

Metropolis, Hunger Games, Gattaca, Logan's Run, Farenheit 451, Soylent Green and Mad Max Beyond the thunder dome all seem very possible, briefly anyway.

@Lightscribe225

Couldn't care less about Minority Report's story or 'Dystopian' setting. 

I just wanted that computer interface.

@TheGimpPimp1

I personally hope they do another list on this topic....Because I wanna see the Justin Timberlake film "In Time" on the next list....

@yarbles67

Folks have listed some other fine films that were omitted. Here's a few additional of my favorite, happy, cheery type movies

The Road
Book of Eli
The Stand (mini-series)
A Boy and His Dog
WALL-E
The Day After Tomorrow
Contagion
Melancholia
World War Z

@christianespinosa3885

@tiffanyisaacson5497

In Time Justin Timberlake

@jasminetomca

missed 1984 and THX 1138

@Silver2004Avalhadia

THX1138, Brazil, Equilibrium?
Also pity that there isn't a movie based on the books Paradyzja and Limes Inferior by Janusz Zajdel.

@ReinisInkens

Quite surprised to not see Brazil on the list, surely it's a classic.

@tobyfjelstad1

hunger games above blade runner no battle royale no akira no ghost in the shell. this should just be called top 10 recent american mainstream dystopian future movies.
