We saw these movies well before we were 16 or 18. Maybe today's grown ups actually didn't watch them and are braindead because of it?
Mandatory watching exercise for everyone:
- the matrix (only the first one, the rest is meh)
- 12 monkeys
- minority report
- oblivion
- idiocracy
- don't look up
The themes are always the same. Peak dystopia, sometimes facilitated by helpful idiots.
Or read some of Phillip K Dicks books I’d also add the film Brazil to that list

Most sci-fi is. At least if you squint a little.
