10 best films about the future of humanity for family viewing

The events that took place in 2020 could well form the basis of an exciting dystopian film. Perhaps one day such a movie will be made, but for now let's see what directors of different years can offer us, who have described the future of our civilization in their works. The year is not over yet and may throw up new surprises, but it is better not to wait for them, but to occupy yourself with watching good movies with family or friends.

The idea of the film is that robots can be not just soulless machines, but real personalities capable of showing human feelings. The hero of the movie "Bicentennial Man— is a robot Andrew, whose task is to do homework. But for the family members where the android got to, communication with him became a real revelation, thanks to which they began to look at the world in a new way. This is a very kind movie that you can watch with children.

The film combines two directions in science fiction - space travel and time travel. The film quite deservedly received its Oscar for the best visual effects — their creators actually did a good job. It is worth noting the wonderful acting of Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway, through whose efforts the painting has become a real event of the last decade.

A fantastic film starring Brad Pitt tells the dramatic story of an astronaut who faces the difficult task of saving our planet from destruction. Simultaneously with the global mission, the main character also solves a personal problem - he is looking for his missing father. In addition to Pitt, Tommy Lee Jones and Donald Sutherland can be seen in the film directed by James Gray.

Another life-affirming story of a robot that convinces us that not everything is so bad and machines are not our enemies, but helpers and defenders. In this film, the robot Chappie falls into the hands of intruders, but in order to use smart technology for criminal purposes, you first need to educate her. Will the machine with artificial intelligence become one of the gang members, or will good still prevail?

We could not help but include in our selection a cult film for several generations about the confrontation between artificial intelligence and man, with the magnificent Arnold Schwarzenegger in the title role. Despite the fact that 36 long years have passed since the release of the fantastic action movie, it impresses with its scope and special effects. The first two parts of the epic will always remain the most beloved by viewers around the world, no matter how many new films the franchise releases.

Andrei Tarkovsky's film "Solaris" is a cult picture that has rightfully entered the world treasury of film fiction. The tape will soon turn 50 years old, but it is still loved by millions, and not only in the open spaces. This is not just a movie about traveling in space, but also a philosophical discussion about the problems of morality and the secrets of the human subconscious.

Even such a hackneyed plot as the first meeting of earthlings with representatives of an alien civilization can sparkle with new colors if you look at it from a new angle. The main character of the film, Doctor of Linguistics Louise Banks, must fulfill an important mission on behalf of the military — to establish contact with guests from another galaxy and learn about their plans. An error in the interpretation of one of the alien phrases almost caused a catastrophe, but the heroine copes with the problem with honor.

The only animated film of our selection that we simply could not miss. The picture tells about the life of a garbage collector robot and, at first glance, deserves only the attention of kids. But after a few minutes of viewing, it becomes clear that the picture is much deeper than it seems and concerns very childish problems that are relevant to all modern humanity.

The brilliant dystopia directed by Ridley Scott with Harrison Ford in the title role was received coolly by the audience. But years have passed and the film has become a real classic of neo-noir and cyberpunk. It is interesting that the action of the picture takes place in 2019 and it is very interesting to see how people imagined our time 40 years ago. The continuation of the fantastic action movie - "Blade Runner - 2049", filmed in 2017, is also worth seeing, but only after viewing the original picture.

The dystopian film from the British director Terry Gilliam tells about life in the society of the future, where the anti-terrorist operation does not stop. The life of a simple office clerk is completely destroyed due to a spelling mistake in the name and the guy from the gray hard worker turns into one of the most wanted enemies of the state.
