Things to Come

The first thing to do in a post-apocalyptic world is execute all the psychics for not warning us ahead of time.

Thankfully, the citizens in this sci-fi movie received many declarations of war.

An air raid on Everytown from an unknown adversary sets off a global conflict that finds resident John Cabal (Raymond Massey) enlisting as an airman.

Decades later, the war-torn town is devoid of technology as society has deteriorated into a dystopian wasteland controlled by warlords.

But engineers have created an advanced civilization in the desert that will lead humanity into a new technological age.

Exploring the evolution of humanity through the ashes of war and regenerative powers of progress, this 1936 adaptation of H.G. Wells' novel may suffer from longwinded diatribes but its unique narrative and stylized set designs are worth it.

Moreover, dystopian futures are the reason the sewer housing market is so hot right now.
