I like Science Fiction films a lot for many reasons, but the biggest draw, of course, science-Fi estimates how science and technology will change the world. Sometimes it is a prediction of how technology that will definitely be present can change things. Other times, technology itself is a product of pure imagination.
However, here in the real world, scientists and engineers never sleep, and sometimes it is science fiction that inspires them. Thanks to a lot of advances in the last few decades, some movies that were recently as science-fi in the 1980s, now at least have come true.
It is not a rank list of films, but only a list of individual favorite I think there are at least a few elements that have left the world of imagination, and now there is a reality.

It did not take a long time 2001: A Space Odyssey At least partially to get out of the scope of science-fi. This happened a year after the film came out! As soon as Neil Armstrong set foot on Luna, the film did not look so far! In the decades, we have hit some other milestones, although the 2001 rear view is far in the mirror, and we have certainly not killed them all.

5 Great films that actually portray space correctly
Science-Fi is called science fiction for a reason. But which films about space can be considered a science fact?
One of the leading stars of the film, Hal9000, only recently began to feel like a reality in our world. Chatgats like modern AI Chatbot can really talk to us and seem seem to be what we say. It can see the world through a camera lens and make an understanding of it. However, we have no idea whether we will get a true passionate AI or not, there is no reason to think that HAL 9000 in the film was at all emotional, and today’s best AI system does not feel it.

Another element that is now coming true is that the AI ​​system will have to make life-or-death decisions, as Hal made in the film when the mission was in danger. Whether it is a military system or just a self-driving car, at some point a computer program will have to decide who lives and who dies-the arrangements!

This is a film that hits Very In the 2020s different vs. when it came out in 2013. Spike Jonz’s film is about a person who falls in love with the voice assistant of his phone, he felt exactly like a distant science-fi when it came out, but now it is really happening. There are many stories about those on the web who are forming friendship and romantic relations with AI software.
In a long time it means that anyone is estimated, but I am only becoming more common for this kind of thing. This so -called loneliness can help with epidemic, or it can harm people psychologically, but only time will tell.

When Gattaka came out in 1997, it was very attractive the idea that anyone could analyze their DNA. It was very expensive, and what will you do with information too? Today, you can send a sample to a company that will profile your DNA for a few hundred rupees, and will tell you more about yourself as you wanted to know.

We are not at the point where our social opportunities are determined by our genes, but I am confident that genetics is going to grow more than before in this century in our life. Gattaka does not touch much on the idea of ​​genetic engineering, but we can actually spend a lot of time to edit the genes of those who have already been born and our children, who can lead to the same social class system on the performance in this film.

We do not yet have cold fusion in the house, there is no hoverboard, and flying cars will never be one thing, but flat-screen displays, wearable techniques, hand-free video games, video calling, and biometric door locks are now common for us. The film predicted our apathy for the 80s.

the Truman Show Now predicts more than outlandish. The big difference between reality and film is that we Know We are being seen all the time. In fact, people have started living a protesting life on social media, and it does not seem that huge companies know everything about the most intimate parts of their lives. Like Truman, those companies use their monitoring of us to turn on profit, but at least they were unaware that it was happening.

On the surface, the demolition man is a loud, mindless action film. But deep digging, and satire looks suspicious like real life. A world risk hygiene reached the point of politically unabated, and Micromanized by Elgorithm rule? We are participating there.
Self-driving cars, virtual meetings, individual advertising, restaurant monopoly, and even the separation of the epidemic-eggs echoed the more absurd ideas of the film. And yes, everything is originally without contact, three-gods jokes are true. You laugh – then you realize that you have not touched cash in years!
The only thing we do not have is a man-portable laser rifle, but you can bet, somewhere, just working on it.
The real question is, which of today’s science-fi films will become more real as we thought that a decade or three from now on?
