Just shows how old we are. Movies sent in the far off future like 2001 and Soylent Green are here.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Actually, it's pretty cheesy. But for some reason, I always liked watching it when it would come on one of the local late movie channels. You'll defiantly get some laughs out of it if your ever bored and some time to kill.

The real irony is that Pan AM was defunct a full decade before the movies time line. Wheels

It was a good few years there for dystopian sci-fi. Even if you never saw the movies, the Planet Of The Apes final reveal and Soylent Green's premise are cultural DNA now. 2001, Rollerball, Silent Running, Dark Star, all these are great (but lesser than the aforementioned) examples of the genre  In other news, we are not only into Soylent Green time, we have passed the time when Roy Batty was born and past the time when Marty McFly had to fix the future.

There's nothing dystopian about 2001. In fact it's the total opposite as it portrays a prosperous and stable future.

How else is China gonna feed everybody? Wish sandwiches? In the current day West they're called Unicorn & Rainbow sandwiches. Be careful of taking this into politics.

Was not a bad movie. Essential viewing for any sci-fi fans. Now watch "Andromeda Strain," "THX 1138," and "Logan's Run."
