Lets
advance 50 years from now-what do you think will be different then it
is right now? Think about technology, cars, outerspace, food,
restaurants, houses, hotels, money, schools. How will all of these
things change from there current state today?
Lets take a look into the future into some Science Fiction movies that already exist.
Meet the Jetsons
Lived in the atmosphere, had Dome cars,
flew up through shoots, 4 course microwavable meals. A vision of what
life would be like in the future.
The Jetsons are a family living in Orbit City, in the year 2062.
George Jetson is married and lives with his family in the Skypad
Apartments in Orbit City, where all homes and businesses are raised high
above the ground on adjustable columns in the Googie style, reflective of Seattle's Space Needle and the Theme Building of the Los Angeles International Airport. George is married to Jane, the homemaker, and the couple have two children, teenage daughter Judy
who attends Orbit High School, and early-childhood son Elroy who
attends Little Dipper School. Housekeeping is seen to by a robot maid, Rosey, handling chores not otherwise rendered trivial by the home's numerous push-button Space Age-envisioned conveniences. The family has a dog named Astro, who talks with an initial consonant mutation in which every word begins with an "R", as if speaking with a growl.
The Matrix
The film depicts a future in which reality as perceived by most humans is actually a simulated reality
created by sentient machines to pacify and subdue the human population,
while their bodies' heat and electrical activity are used as an energy
source. Upon learning this, computer programmer "Neo"
is drawn into a rebellion against the machines, involving other people
who have been freed from the "dream world" and into reality.
I am Legend
I Am Legend is a 2007 post-apocalyptic science fiction thriller film directed by Francis Lawrence and starring Will Smith. It is the third feature film adaptation of Richard Matheson's 1954 novel of the same name, following 1964's The Last Man on Earth and 1971's The Omega Man.[2] Smith plays virologist Robert Neville, who is immune to a man-made virus originally created to cure cancer. He works to create a remedy while defending himself against the mutated humans and other creatures created by the virus.
Inception:
DiCaprio plays Dom Cobb, a specialized corporate spy and thief whose work consists of secretly extracting valuable commercial information from the unconscious minds of his targets while they dream. Wanted for murder and unable to visit his children, Cobb is offered a chance to regain his old life as payment for a task considered to be impossible: "Inception", the implantation of an original idea into a target's subconscious.

Looper:
In Looper, time travel
is invented by the year 2074 and, though immediately outlawed, is used
by criminal organizations to send those they want killed into the past
where they are killed by "loopers", assassins paid with silver bars
strapped to their targets. Joe, a looper, encounters himself when his
older self is sent back in time to be killed.
