Personally, as is often noted, “Idiocracy” is probably tops for current events… but for the farther future, I’d go Blade Runner Universe, most likely… just for the sheer scale of total biosphere degradation and megacorp control. How about you?

The Expanse.
I agree, but only about the star of Earth in that series. The Epstein drive, protomolecule, even the colonization of Mars are all not guaranteed futures in my view. But if we keep going to way we are, yeah, I can see a 50+% unemployment rate and lots of brutalist architecture.
We have an optimist here.
You think the Expanse is optimistic? Did you read it?
No, only seen the show. Just a bit of nuking south america and water slavery. Seems optimistic enough, but perhaps the books show it’s worse then it looks in the show. But the post asks about movies, not books.
I mean, even in the show things are pretty bleak. There’s a bit where we see how earth is… not great unless you’re super wealthy.
But on the bright side, they do have UBI
Yes…
