it's huge

that's incredible at an indeterminate

point in the future Panem is a grim

post-apocalyptic nation comprised of 12

dreary districts simply surviving is an

everyday struggle for human beings that

is unless you live in the capital still

if you abandon your moral judgment it

can be fun governed by the tyrannical

presidents no I mean if we just wanted

to intimidate the district's why not

round up 24 of them at random and

execute them all at once be a lot faster

this colorful futuristic city is

plentiful in rich food flamboyant

fashion and advanced technology

the future wear their pants inside out

fashion as the 80s written all over it

it's as old-school as the future guess

real come to the cafe 80s where it's

always morning in America even in the

afternoon the new number 8 Neo Tokyo of

2019

Akira

Ikeda is one of the most stunning

animated features ever with something

visually astounding going on in every

frame it creates a vivid futuristic city

in Neo Tokyo which was constructed after

the events of World War three sons unum

cut ammo Garrick in another can

accommodate ruined flashy booming and

larger-than-life Neo Tokyo will thrill

amaze and intimidate you at the same

time

filmmakers have been trying to make a

live action version of akkad app for

years but it's hard to imagine any

artist doing justice to Neo Tokyo

outside the realm of animation this

extraordinary city was born for anime

Nagoya dhoka dhoka dhoka dhoka dhoka tha

number seven mega city one read America

is an irradiated wasteland within it

lies a city everything in dread got a

major upgrade from its 1995 predecessor

including the design of mega city one

mega bloks mega highways mega city one

okay so mega city one admittedly sounds

like a pretty silly name

the Dredd reboot really takes its source

material seriously however delivering a

future that feels surprisingly

believable cursed earth

inside the walls the cursed city where

many other futuristic cities look

vibrant and full of optimism the

crime-ridden mega city one is gritty and

grim with unwelcoming skyscrapers

towering over everyone and everything

what do you know about peach trees sir

peach trees has a 75 thousand registered

citizens that's the highest crime rate

in sector 13 unemployment rate of 96%

and more than half the residential

levels here are Class two slums although

we may not want to live in this dystopia

it flawlessly sets the tone for a movie

appropriately called Dredd defense noted

number six neo soul of 2144 Cloud Atlas

welcome 10 do so

neo soul is like a cross between the

grid from Tron and the city from The

Matrix but still sustains a unique

identity all its own

we're the upper regions are full of

architectural marvels the lower areas of

neo-soul are slum-like and rundown

that's old soul if the tides keep rising

at the present rate neo-soul will also

be underwater in a hundred years the set

designers and visual effects artists for

Cloud Atlas did an incredible job at

constructing a multi-layered city with

countless grand sights there's much for

sonmi-451 to discover as she steps out

into the world although she might not

like which he ultimately finds good

comics industry demands a huge quantity

of biomatter for woundings number five

washington DC of 2050 for Minority

Report the road you're on John Anderton

is the one duelist

nice on the surface Washington in 2050

form may seem like a shining utopia in a

future where crime can be predicted

before it even occurs within a year

pre-crime effectively stopped murder in

our nation's capital the streets are

clean the skies are clear and the city

escapes our wonders to behold plus

scientists finally perfected the jetpack

hey hey John that was a rough landing

yeah behind the scenes however something

much darker is going on

if Minority Report teaches us anything

it's that there's no such thing as a

perfect world where's my Minority Report

do I even have one every decision has

consequences and sometimes security must

be sacrificed for the sake of free will

you know your own future which means you

can change it if you want to number four

New York City of 2263 The Fifth Element

of all the futuristic interpretations of

New York City the Fifth Element just

might encompass the most fun and

inventive elements ah fortune for you

jumping ahead a couple hundred years New

York appears significantly different in

2263 but feels exactly the same the

iconic city still bustles with activity

advertisements tall buildings and bad

traffic is that bad

sometimes it looks junky and dirty sorry

for the mess the mess the garbage other

times it appears glamorous and full of

spirit that's basically New York in a

nutshell whether we're talking about the

past present or future

number three city of domes of 2274

Logan's run keeps everything in balance

one is terminated one is born simple

logical perfect the best way to keep

people caged up is to trick them into

believing they aren't even imprisoned in

the first place

that's essentially what the antagonists

do in Logan's Run well that and they

make sure no one lives past thirty and

strong and you will be renewed taking

place in 2274

the city of domes has the appearance of

a futuristic mall or luxury resort but

you don't know you just assume one form

the atmosphere is calming the technology

is cutting-edge and there are virtually

no worries what citizens don't realize

is that there is a greater world beyond

the city's walls even if there isn't

necessarily a sanctuary I hate outside I

hate it though what would you choose a

beautiful prison or uncertain freedom we

can stay here together

number 2 metropolis of 2026 metropolis

when we think of groundbreaking movies

that embody all the possibilities of

visual media metropolis is a film that

instantly comes to mind the location

itself is essentially the main character

in this movie it's constantly drawing us

in with its art déco visual style

thrilling us with its boundless energy

and blowing our minds with its

all-encompassing sets

what's more the city provides

thought-provoking commentary about the

working-class versus the upper-class

whether you're visiting the city above

or below though there's always something

extraordinary to see in Metropolis

before we get to our top pick here are

some honorable mentions so this is where

you live huh sleep very not bad thank

you

some called bregma the perfect society

some call it the height of human

civilization but others know better

number one Los Angeles of 2019 Blade

Runner

a new life awaits you in the offworld

colonies the chance to begin again in a

golden land of opportunity and adventure

2019 is only a few years away meaning

Blade Runner will likely go down as

another sci-fi film that failed to

accurately predict the future

nevertheless this classic gave us one of

the most detailed immersive and

atmospheric locales in cinema with its

neo-noir design and dark shadows around

every corner Ridley Scott's

interpretation of la may not be the most

inviting futuristic city yeah I live

there pretty much alone right now no

housing shortage around here however it

is one that you completely lose yourself

in it literally feels like you've been

transported to another world or another

time do you agree with our list
