Lots of similarities
Viewers think that a Sylvester Stallone film from the ’90s was the ‘best’ prediction of what the future would be like today.
Starring Sandra Bullock and Wesley Snipes, the 1993 film Demolition Man may have been ahead of its time. The sci-fi action film follows the escalating crime fight in Los Angeles as police officer John Spartan (Stallone) and violent criminal Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes) are sentenced to a state of frozen confinement known as “CryoPrison.” become.
Thirty-six years later, the two are unfrozen and find themselves in a utopian city called San Angeles. More than just a bad guy versus a do-gooder scenario, the film simply alludes to many of the current issues affecting society today.
Demolition Man also covers the destruction of the hospitality industry. In San Angeles, too, people are not allowed to touch each other directly due to an epidemic. The fictional city banned all forms of physical contact to minimize the spread of the virus. The film shows the use of video conferencing as a regular form of communication.
However, users see it more as a coincidence that the film with Sylvester Stallone predicted the future almost exactly. “Of all the movies from the ’80s and early ’90s that attempted to statically predict the future, Demolition Man was the closest to it,” said one user.
