David Cronenberg's latest film is an odd take on the dystopian genre. It's never exactly clear about how far in the future it's set, but does seem a while off. It's initially about a man who can regrow his organs, and puts on exhibitions where he has his organs harvested in front of a live audience. Crimes of the Future, therefore, doesn't feel like much of a crime film initially, but the way the plot expands after its initial setup to a sprawling narrative filled with intrigue, mysterious in...

Rather than portraying a crime-ravaged, futuristic society, Minority Report takes the imaginative approach of presenting a future where crimes can be predicted before they happen. This leads to arrests happening before a crime is committed, which saves the victims, but ends up punishing people who technically haven't performed a criminal act yet. The film then becomes about the morality of such a practice, and going through all the new problems that humanity would have to face if it "fixed" t...

Not only does Repo! The Genetic Opera combine science fiction with crime elements, it also adds healthy doses of horror and musical elements. In fact, it's so dedicated to being a musical where just about every line of dialogue is sung... still, that shouldn't be too surprising, given the word "opera" is right there in the title. The plot involves a dark, futuristic world where a violent corporation all but runs the world, thanks to controlling all organ transplants in a dystopian setting whe...

Released in 1995 and set in 1999, Strange Days was never dramatically futuristic, but there's a definite sci-fi feel to its turn-of-the-millennium setting. The premise also involves disks that hold recorded memories and emotions, with Ralph Fiennesplaying an ex-cop who gets wrapped up in a complex plot, after one such disk contains evidence of a possible crime. It's another example of film-noir influencing sci-fi, and it does it well. The protagonist could have fit right at home in a 1940s or...

Released six years after District 9 - a film that director Neil Blomkamp may never top - Chappie is a somewhat underrated blend of action, sci-fi, crime, and even some comedy, even if its attempts at concocting this unique genre cocktail do end up making the end product noticeably messy. Chappie is about a robotic police officer (no, not that one) breaking free of his programming and learning human emotions, all the while being used by a gang of criminals to assist them in their crimes. It's...

There's no way to put it mildly: Dogora is one strange film. The giant monster movies from the 1950s and 1960s that followed in the original Godzilla's wake often were, of course, but Dogora takes things even further than you might expect. The giant monster of Dogora has an incredibly unique design that's somewhat reminiscent of deep-sea fish, and unlike most monsters from classic kaiju films, who were played by actors in rubber suits. And then instead of a human storyline where the main char...

Alphaville is an unusual film within Jean-Luc Godard's filmography. Godard usually made movies that combined comedy, drama, and romance, at least in his earlier, (slightly) less experimental years. Alphaville, however, is a futuristic detective story. The plot doesn't even take place on Earth, as Alphaville - the film's setting - is a city on another planet, and one where love and other deep human emotions have been outlawed. The detective (quite expectedly) uncovers a deep, confounding consp...

A gloriously wild movie that features Nicolas Cage and John Travolta going all out in front of the camera, and John Woo doing the same behind it, Face/Offtakes the sci-fi idea of flawless face transplants (that can allow you to effectively steal someone's identity) and spins it into a wild, endlessly fun action movie. Beyond the face transplants and an unusually high-tech prison, there's not much about it that screams sci-fi, but it's enough. Similarly, the crime elements are a little underpl...

Dark Citytakes place in such a distant future that it's often unrecognizable, compared to our present. And given the main character struggles with remembering his past - all the while trying to survive in a city with no sun, run by telekinetic beings who harvest human souls - he too struggles to find things that are familiar. It takes the basics of a film-noir and pushes them far into the future, to the point where Dark Cityalmost feels like a fantasy film. It's an example of film-noir taken...

Perhaps the quintessential example of a detective/film-noir storyline transplanted to the future is still 1982's Blade Runner. Though its story about one futuristic cop tasked with tracking down a group of escaped replicants is set in 2019, it still manages to feel futuristic when watched in 2022. It's morally gray and visually dark, but the world it creates is a compelling one, and the questions it raises about human nature, freedom, and societal inequality remain thought-provoking and relev...
