The setting of The Fifth Element was pretty cool (although a little over-the-top.) I also like various space opera settings such as Star Trek and Andromeda TV shows. Minority Report also presented a cool future.
shareI like the more realistic ones like A Clockwork Orange, and a lesser known Japanese film called The Face of Another.
shareThe world in Dr. Slump.
sharefifth element is a little too chaotic for me.
even though it would be well in the past now, i'd like to live in the world we saw in 2001. everything looked calm & clean & organized, & everybody was polite & well mannered. i could live in that world.
You'll probably like the Demolution Man's world too.
shareHmm, I'm not too fond of futuristic settings, it seems. I like Star Trek, especially The Next Generation.
shareWriting a futuristic utopia in the vein of Star Trek is much more of a creative challenge than a lot of other science fiction stories aimed in conflict and chaos. Dystopias can make their own rules from scratch having little to no boundaries to frame the storytelling around.
By working with self-imposed limits as with a future full of hope, where optimism is not blind but the standard bearer, the vision necessary to craft a compelling story creates the vision. A good story knows what it wants to focus on.
The Next Generation, in my opinion, is the most intellectually grounded in the franchise due to the timeline of the series (the Federation being at its greatest period of influence) and creator Gene Roddenberry's precision for wanting to demonstrate ideals paramount to fostering better understanding.
There's no better way to learn something than experiencing it first-hand (within reason). The resolutions to each of the challenges explored in TNG makes it all the more meaningful and rewarding.

Hey, I was just thinking about you, probably right around the time you posted this! I was wondering where you've been and how you're doing. Good to see you, Twin! 😊
shareI feel the same way, Cat, for you and everyone here.
What one feels empty in the sense of absence,
the trust of many makes all knowingly whole;
that fainting at the sight of our own shadows,
be cast into the light, not to fade into nothingness,
where it becomes only a memory,
but to breathe anew what was there all along.
We may not see what it is, trying to grasp its essence,
its innermost qualities, that of which is already known;
the hope and dreams mapped ahead,
are only the beginning of the next stepping stones.
This is the following chapter in a never-ending story.
Its pages may be blank, but ideas are ready to take shape.

That's lovely, Twin, although I can't say I follow all of it. (What can I say? I often don't get poetry 😬) Did you write that? It's unfamiliar to me. I Googled and Google doesn't know it either.
