Not that I figure any movie could get the future right and the things we have, but the more I look back on movies, the more I'm like damn, they must feel sheepish now that none of the they wrote about is even close.
One of the biggest ones is Back To The Future part II! We aren't even close to having any of those things in 5 years. No flying cars, no hoverboards, no thumb recognition for keys, no thumb recognition for money. No electronic waiters at restaurants. Kinda weird to think about.
Another movie that comes to mind is Demolition Man. We aren't close to the 2032 mark, but even in 1996 (which is the past in that movie, but at the time future to us in 1993) they had some technology that we don't have now. The one that comes to mind is when he gets frozen in water by some small little bead that's in a long metal rod.
Any others? I'm sure those of you that remember movies from the 60s and 70s can attest, back then..the year 2000 was the setting point for all futuristic events in film.

I always wanted one of the Pizza Makers from Back to the Future II.
No that would have been kick ass! I like the fact that every room has a fax machine in it, but now fax machines are close to becoming obsolete.
I'm still holding out hope for the Hover Board.
All those movies completely missed on the Internet, which is the driving technological factor today. Streaming movies, video, info like we do now would have seemed just as far fetched to me in 1985 as hover boards.
Although, I give them credit for the video conference where his boss fires him... If you hook up skype through a laptop to your tv you'd basically have that.
Hopefully Idiocracy.

Jury's still out on Total Recall. 74 more years until we find out.
12 monkeys
back to the future was spot on: tv glasses, watching multiple tv channel simultaneously, video conferencing, baseball team in miami...
2010
2001
Basically, any movie ever made that had a year as the le.
Watched it last night. Blade Runner. 2019.
The whole Tomorrowland section of Disneyland...
The Sixth Day
Gattaca
What's back to the future
star trek. lol light speed...
oh yeah theyre going to waste all that money to go back in time and save the whales
and the black hole
and mission to mars... the dudes head would explode, not freeze, which would have made for better special effects anyway
I was looking for specific examples. And years! Gattaca doesn't have a specific year that it talks about. It's just based in "the not too distant future".
The Island...
Escape from New York, that is hilarious
Starship Troopers, Bladerunner, The terminator movies, and the matrix movies off the top of my head
An Inconvient Truth
How are Starship Troopers and The Matrix wrong about the future? Starship Troopers has no specific year and The Matrix is set in 2199. Have those years passed?
I'm talking about movies where the year in which it is set has passed or is a few years away and nothing is remotely close to that. ALA BTTF II and Demolition Man in 1996.
