new york of 2265 from the 5th element and san angeles from demolition man

Thise were in this and solid choices. ​@@erzaender

[@duncancurtis5108]

Let's see what Zootopia looks like next year. 😊

[@azohundred1353]

Metropolis (1927) by Fritz Lang is such a masterpiece, and it inspired almost every other Sci-Fi film on this list! I definitely recommend it if you haven't seen it.

[@PrinceIsot]

I was disappointed we don't have flying cars, but now i realize we actually just don't have falling fire balls and I'm okay with that 😂

[@coreytomison3292]

I'm surprised that "Brazil" (1985) did not make the list, considering just how influential the design of that film's city is.

[@caiusofglantri5513]

I was waiting for it to appear. I think they missed one.

[@WatchMojo]

Good one!

[@drfrankensteinscreations8513]

Black Panther wasn't set in the future. It just had more advanced tech.

London, England in V for Vendetta. The small Village in The Trueman show.

[@tylergoodman3560]

2019 LA in Blade Runner is cool. 🎉

[@BlackHatCinephile]

🥉

[@adampellett4917]

Sometimes in the future could be a scary thought of why the cities are gonna be way different than from the old times where we lived. However, I hope all cities will be much safer in the future because of the crime rates been skyrocketed. Great vid, Mojo.

Solid list. Ghost in the shell and blade runner are a must in this list. The cyberpunk style is really fascinating. I love seeing post-apocalyptic lands as well.

[@mojo3318]

It's amazing how we can see the future in movies! Some of the facts about these movies are interesting, some scary, like number 14. I learned about "Ghost from the Shell" in an ad. Also, I have seen "Big Hero 6" and "Meet the Robinsons". Great list, WatchMojo!

[@drmarctagon]

Libria from the movie, Equilibrium.

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

Lots of great visions here, but I'd rank the top three differently... 1. "Metropolis" for its far-sightedness, eerie prescience, and use of every single tool in the toolbox to construct something vast and detailed. 2. "The Fifth Element" for imagining a New York that cranks up the size, depth, and sheer kinetic energy by orders of magnitude. 3. "Blade Runner" for showing us what mega architecture can look like if we invent stronger construction materials.

[@christophermerlot3366]

Fun fact: the design of LA in Blade Runner is partially based on Brasilia. The original plans for the Brazilian capital city were created by architect Oscar Neymar.

Very nice cities. I would like to live in Hil Valley,city in Demolition Man,minus report cards,minuses on swearing,insulting toys,New York in Fifth Element. Great video😀

[@anniebanzon1471]

next is "futuristic cities on TV"! like... Eden from "Captain Laserhawk" and Neo Gotham from "Batman Beyond"!

[@djp1234]

I’m seeing where a lot of video game inspirations came from. Cool.

[@BJI82a]

I can’t wait to see what cities and small towns will look like by 2050 and how many of them will have roads for self driving cars. It would be cool to have a sort of fast and furious/ cannonball crossover with future cities where they are big race tracks and you aren’t just on the ground you can race across roofs and through buildings that would be cool and funny sci fi really needs to expand cross overs a bit more.

[@alexdavis-mann8513]

Pretty much the same as now, I mean many buildings are decades old already

I like the futuristic movie city in Astro Boy.

[@eugeniapatroncosta920]

2015 Hill Valley is my favourite.

[@Mr69BlackDragon]

Neo Tokyo from Evangelion should have made the list.

[@Isaac862]

The top 3 were very good choices

[@jimmytheechidna]

The more I think about it them not including the Axiom on the list is for the best. That's a city that proves AI technology will destroy us all.

[@gohardrillap]

I was waiting for The Island to be mentioned..😔

[@quinndrakon9468]

What to do with a bridge when ground vehicles are phased out? Put solar panels on the deck! I thought it was a clever idea in the Kelvin timeline.

[@lenn7272]

Can you do this in shows and anime? That would be cool.

[@laurenregnier3710]

I like Lagos , Nigeria in Iwaju . I saw that . 😊

[@hunterrousseau3770]

No 8️⃣ This is a futuristic city I'd want to visit if it was ever real 🏙️

[@7amart177]

Now do Future Cities in tv shows, video games and anime

[@Dewald]

Good list, but I would have added New York City from Futurama

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

Isn't it called New New York? Or is it New New New York? Apparently the city was destroyed once or twice in the 2600s by aliens, if I recall.

[@jstewlly4747]

Irobot got so much right it's insane......10 years from now cars will be electric lead by Audi how crazy is that

[@jarink1]

I, Robot got almost everything meaningful from Asimov's short stories wrong.

[@calebsedillo2650]

San Fransokyo from Disney’s Big Hero 6 isn’t a futuristic movie city it’s not set around an alternate future Disney’s Big Hero 6 is adapted from the Marvel Comic Book of the same name and San Fransokyo is based on the real life cities of San Francisco California USA and Tokyo Japan not on any futuristic cities

[@Jeremiah_Rivers76]

There’s only one futuristic city I’d want to live in, and that’s Coruscant, the capital of the Galactic Republic. To put it in the words of Ric Olé from _Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace,_ “The entire planet is one big city.”

[@mojo3318]

Interesting!

[@ideastudio4760]

Detroit in Robocop. Where else does that movie work?

[@kairi4640]

IRobot in 2035 might actually be an accurate prediction with the rate we're going lol.

[@Loremastrful]

So I guess I was the only one weirded out when the 2020 Olympics was set in Tokyo? No one else got Akira vibes. Also boo for not including Total Recall and Robocop. Those two made the city as much a character as the stars.

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

Several of these city visions lose precious points by failing to materialize when predicted. That's the problem with looking only, say 30 years or so into the future. Optimistic visionaries tend to think *everything* will change radically in a single generation, when usually it's only the small-scale stuff that does (e.g., cellphones, internet, news sources). That's why movies like "Back to the Future Part II", "Blade Runner", and "Demolition Man" are so horribly off the mark. If you watch these movies today, you have to pretend the story (all of which are pretty good in their own right btw) takes place *much* farther into the future.

[@paullenoue8173]

No Tomorrowland? This is why I always end up giving WatchMojo thumbs down.
