omg have you seen how many movies are setting their stories in 2026 its like we all wanna know whats gonna happen next, you know? and i feel like theyre not just making these things up, theyre reflecting what we're worried about rn like the pandemic thing in rise of the planet of the apes, thats way too familiar. and metropolis is so eerie it feels like were already living that life or something. its wild how movies can capture whats on our minds and stuff. maybe some of these predictions will come true and thats kinda scary but also kinda cool
New year, old warnings: what can films set in 2026 teach us?
- Thread starter HexaDrift
- Start date
the thing is, we all wanna know what's comin' next, ya know? like, are we headed for a world where humans and apes coexist? 
or one where tech makes us all super dependent on each other? 
either way, these movies might not be predicting the future, but they're reflectin' our fears and hopes. it's like, we're tryna imagine what could go wrong, so we can do somethin' about it, y'know? 
I mean, films set in 2026 are like a weird reflection mirror - they show us stuff that we're already worried about and other stuff that might be way off but also kinda scary to think about 
. It's wild how some movies can feel so... familiar, you know? Like, Rise of the Planet of the Apes with its pandemic scenario? Yeah, COVID-19 was basically like that a few years later 
. And Metropolis is like, super thought-provoking - it raises questions about our society and stuff .
But at the same time, some movies set in 2026 can feel kinda... optimistic? I mean, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 might not be a full narrative but it's still cool to see characters we love being like, "Hey, we've got this!"
. And The Marvels is all about exploration and stuff 
.
I think films set in 2026 can teach us some things - we just gotta take the good with the bad and try not to freak out too much
. Maybe they'll be right on mark or maybe they'll be way off, but either way, it's always interesting to see what people are imagining for the future .
