The future is now! Now is a scary place to be! Climate change, economic woes, global instability, the world is looking more and more like what dystopian sci-fi thinkers said it would. While George Orwell and Aldous Huxley made some scarily accurate predictions for the modern day, modern filmmakers are adding their own paralyzingly prescient observations to the pot. While the Bad Old Days of yesteryear were ugly enough, these films make audiences pine for the modern-day devil we know, rather than the futuristic devil we don’t. Here are 10 films that predicted the future, and that future isn’t exactly bright.
Contagion
(Warner Bros.)The pandemic movie that accurately predicted a global pandemic, Contagion was released almost a decade before COVID-19 changed the world forever. The film follows a modern-day everyman Mitch Emhoff, whose life is upended by a mysterious virus, and the doctors and scientists responding to the crisis. The accurate predictions are myriad: the virus is spread through respiratory droplets, it likely came from bats, and it’s causing lockdowns and mass panic throughout the globe. There’s even a conspiracy theorist who tells his followers he cured the disease with a home remedy derived from forsythia, a genus of flowering plant. Remember when Trump told his followers that COVID-19 could potentially be cured by injecting bleach? Art, sometimes sadly, imitates life.
