Going through movies from the past that were set in the future, except that future is now our past (2001: A Space Odyssey style)

This is going to be a longish series so I'm going to make this a reblog chain, here's the current list I've made using IMDB. Here's the list lol

2019: after the fall of new york (1983) Defcon 2012 (2010)(edited) 2012 Ice Age (2011) 2012 (2009) tamala 2010: a punk cat in space (2002) 2010: the year we make contact (1984) 2009: lost memories (2002) 2002 (2001) 2001: a space travesty (2000) 2001: a space odyssey (1968) Equalizer 2000 (1987) Fantasia 2000 (1999) Death Race 2000 (1987)(edited) Cherry 2000 (1975) Blues Brothers 2000 (1998) Summer vacation 1998 (1988) Class of 1999 (1990) 1984 (1956) Class of 1984 (1982)

I've already watched Death Race 2000, and Defcon: 2012, so I'll put those first. I'd be lying if I said these were in any particular order

Death Race 2000

rating: 4/10

If you're going to watch this and enjoy it you need to know that it's a political satire from the start, and bizarrely funny. Unfortunately, it doesn't really make its point clear until the last five minutes, which is "America is gratuitously violent and there's no fucking reason for that" and "if anyone disagrees with that, hit them with a car"

The actual premise is "What if in the year 2000, America turned into a gratuitously violent, near-global state that celebrated each year with a cross-country race where racers try to hit as many people as possible. And also, what if there was a group who didn't like that and tried to stop it by matching a rebel leader's granddaughter in shotgun with the only two time winner of the cross-country race?"

Interesting notes:

there is a nazi flag in the first five minutes, and a character duo who have nazism as their motif. Because it's a political satire and it's a mile marker to show the level of issues involved. However they do end up driving off a cliff and there's an extended explosion scene

disappointingly, the guy who's supposedly gotten in multiple car crashes and has several prosthetics has no physical evidence of that

surprisingly, he DOES look like he designed his own (fake) leather dom outfit, cape included, with only vague descriptions of what one looks like

there's the funniest fight scene ever about an hour into the movie between this guy and another guy (played by Sylvester Stallone) dressed like a 30s gangster, while sax plays

Defcon: 2012

rating: 2/10 generally, 7/10 if you're genuine about enjoying it

I'm 100% sure this was someone's film school project, and if you like the idea of a 2010 emo dystopia movie filmed almost entirely in an abandoned mall, with three out of *maybe* eight characters voiced by TTS, you'll like this.

The actual premise is "local tormented teen and co. go to a supposedly abandoned Earth to go scavenger hunting, but discover an underground human community, and the real way Earth was taken over (it involves imperialism)"

Interesting notes:

Pretty much every single scene without talking is overlaid with EDM and 2010 metal. The soundtrack's pretty good actually

One of the characters wears a CGI'd helmet, and I'm honestly impressed by the amount of effort put into editing it

I'm 90% sure the person who made this watched Battlestar Galactica from the filters over every scene

It's written like the person who made it has just learned they can say the fuck word and not get in trouble

I'm also pretty sure one of the cast members is the mom of another one of the cast members. Good for her

Shoutout to a couple throwaway lines about how colonization is bad and how in the story, the 2012 Mayan calendar thing actually has nothing to do with it (even though it seems like it initially). Surprisingly anticapitalist implications overall, I wish this was focused on more

Only problem I have with the movie is that I think it wrapped up too quickly, which seemed beyond the control of the people who were making it so I can't fault them for that really

As to this matter of violence. The technique of violence was first developed in 2.000.000 BC by the australopithecines, a tribe of four-foot primates who had no brains to speak of. But who, nevertheless, invented the tomahawk and used it on eachother. This practice lead to the enlargement of the brain - another useful weapon. Yes, murder was invented even before man began to think. Now, of course man has become known as the thinking animal.
