BOOK YOUR SPOT Watch Demo READ OUR BLOG The best Sci-Fi cities in movies and gaming Khudija Tariq We all want to experience the future, and one thing that can give us a glimpse is the entertainment world. The industry has been entirely accurate about specific events. Remember the eerie Simpsons predictions? Sci-fi has been our friend when it comes to escapism. It’s only human, though; no shame in that. We all need to retire from hustling now and then. As humans, we always have that innate requirement of wanting to know what’ll happen in the future. What would the world look like 50 years from now? So far, we’ve seen cities with flying cars and androids being part of our daily lives. As a cinephile, I want cinema to indulge me in a 360 experience that tells me all the enjoyable details I should be aware of to immerse myself fully.Let’s dive into some of the best futuristic worlds for the love of sci-fi.Blade Runner 1982 — Los Angeles 2019Although we’ve already surpassed 2019, unfortunately, it was nothing like Blade Runner had envisioned. That said, we do have the technologies that surely did surprise us. We thoroughly understand what LA would look like if we had reached that point of technology. With the twinkling lights of these futuristic buildings and detail-oriented locales, Ridley Scott knew his perception of the future is you can’t recognize the city because it’s so heavily modernized. You probably need a moment to take it all — Egyptian pyramid-looking buildings with unprecedented cars flying around. Explosions frequently happen due to the hyper-speed technological exhaustion surrounding the city. It has a doom-and-gloom sort of vibe but is addictive. It doesn’t give you the vibe of an eco-friendly city. Nevertheless, the film and video game are one of the best examples of a futuristic city.The Fifth Element — New York City of 2263One of my favorite movies growing up. I never missed it whenever it was television. I loved everything about it, from the costumes, design, and futuristic world. I can’t forget Milla Jovovich’s infamous outfit, that striking orange hairdo. Honestly, this one had the closest interpretation of the future. Flying cars, bullet trains at the side of the buildings, and flying boats too! The plot sets the film in a fun and interactive environment, which you could easily see happening. Showcasing how New York really is and potentially will be in the future; rushy with tall buildings. Sometimes it looks junky and dirty other times, it appears glamorous and full of spirit, exactly how a New Yorker would describe it. It’s a fantastic experience of a film that you have to watch at least once in your life. It’ll leave you wanting more with its colorful and comfy plotline. Did I mention it has Bruce Willis as the main lead?Mass Effect — The CitadelThe Citadel, the first of two Mass Effect games on this list, initially gives the impression of being more of a space fortress than a city. That is until you notice that the building’s massive inner arms are lined with a metropolis. The fact that you visit new areas of the Citadel with each game in the series, yet it always seems fresh and thrilling, is more evidence of how expansive and diversified the fortress is. And it never gets old to offer several business owners “exclusive” endorsements of your company as the world’s salvation in exchange for significant discounts.Mortal Engines — Traction citiesThis film has one of the coolest concepts regarding the future of cities. When I came across the trailer, I was glued to the screen because who would have thought of a lot with movable cities? Imagine London on wheels! The cities are inspired by the Steam Punk aesthetic (which I adore). Honestly, it also has a Mad Max appeal to it. Many hundreds of years from now, after an apocalyptic nuclear war, settlements have been rebuilt with a slight change. Though it was intended to be a franchise in the making, the film did not perform so well at the box office due to its many plot holes. The cities named Traction Cities are vast metropolises built on tiers that move on gigantic wheels or caterpillar tracks. These cities hunt smaller cities (to tear them apart for resources and fuel) which in turn hunt towns which in turn hunt villages and static settlements. Aside from the gnarly hunts for resources, the concept sounds like an absolute thrill ride!Tomorrowland — City of TomorrowWith a push of a button, you’re transported into the futuristic city of 2050, where people are having fun with jet packs. Imagine having disposable jet pack stations for anyone to use (I guess you’ll never be late to work). It’s got flying trains that look like cute white caterpillars quickly moving through the city, floating like a butterfly. Everyone dresses up in a manner that a few might say is high-fashion. Thankfully, there is color in the future, and the clothes don’t look bleak. This reminded me of the world in the animated film Meet the Robinsons. The world has no concept of rushy traffic ( New Yorkers, you’ll love this). Another awesome fact about Tomorrowland is that you can simultaneously swim in these pools while jumping from one pool to another. The cars appear to be small, futuristically delightful helicopters. Overall, the world is lively, easy to navigate, clean and green, and most importantly, it doesn’t have that sinister vibe. Fun fact, it took a team of 200 people to create the dazzling futuristic world in ‘Tomorrowland.’Deus Ex: Human RevolutionAnother game influenced by Blade Runner is Human Revolution, which takes an existing metropolis and adds sci-fi ideas to it so that it teeters precariously on the edge of the familiar and the strangely foreign.In this version of Detroit, the stunning and repulsive areas frequently coexist and sometimes merge. The amber glow of the city, which suggests that there is a soul beneath all this rot and machinery, is a surprisingly modest feature that distinguishes this place.Bioshock — RaptureYou probably already knew this one would be included because Bioshock is a culturally significant revolutionary game.It’s hard not to like Rapture’s Objectivist Atlantis as a setting to explore, whether you love the game or despise it.A whole city submerged and left in ruins, with mutant drug addicts hiding out in demolished apartments, lamenting the deceased spouse one second and lunging at you to pull out your eyes the next, all the while whales float by outside.Rapture is one of the most inventive and amazing fictional worlds ever created as a setting.Too bad Columbia in Bioshock Infinite couldn’t compete.Final Fantasy VII — MidgarYet another from 1997! One of the most well-known gaming moments is the Final Fantasy VII opening cinematic that introduces Midgar.Viewed from a distance, Midgar appears to be a bizarre and fascinating country, a mix of cutting-edge technology and glaring poverty that questioned the naive assumption that technology would make human life simpler. We’re interested to see if the city will stay as sinisterly alluring in the upcoming Final Fantasy VII remake.For more fun lists like these, stay updated with us on LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram.

We have already seen animated tv shows frighteningly accurately predict the future for several years now and come to think of it. This can be a subtle and ingenious way of marketing and political astuteness. A modern-day example of this would be the longest-running animated show “The Simpsons,” where they not only predicted faulty voter machines in the 2008 presidential elections but foresaw a third-eyed fish!Deep diving into video games that saw the future before anyone else did. Here are our top favorites:Deus Ex: Human RevolutionThis RPG series has predicted some of the most mind-blogging projections, like Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister in their Human Revolution edition. The game also foretold that he would remain PM till 2027, meaning he would win the following few terms. Chillingly, 2000’s Deus Ex showed the destruction of the World Trade Centre and the protagonist learning about the event through an in-game memo.2. Battlefield 3This well-renowned game accurately predicted the Paris bombing though it mainly revolves around uncounted terrorist attacks worldwide. Albeit the game predominantly takes place in Iraq, gamers also have specific missions in Paris and New York.In the central conflict, players have to stop terrorists from bombing Paris. Fast track to reality, the actual bombings took place a year later. Wanna know the spine-chilling fact about this? The date on which the tragedy occurred was November 13, 2014, to be exact, while the actual attack was on November 13, 2015.3. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty’sNot surprised that one of the orbits on the entertainment spectrum predicted how fake news would seamlessly integrate into our lives. It discusses how people will consider phony information the new truth and start believing what they hear and feel without asking for hard evidence or facts. In particular, it’s a conversation between the Colonel and Raiden. Shockingly, these revelations keep getting more absurd by the minute though not far from the truth. Another considerable impact this game made was when they foreshadowed that NASA is spying on civilians (information later leaked by Edward Snowden), understandably since the game exaggerated a bit due to its action/espionage nature.4. Homefront Predicted Kim Jong-Un Coming To Power And Covid 19The conspiracy theorist already went crazy when they dug up the accuracy of the film “Contagion” and how it predicted the 2020 pandemic. Likewise, the modern-day FPS Homefront released in 2011 sets the ground in a unified Korea seen as a vicious superpower where tensions are high. It prophesied Kim Jong-il’s death and his son Kim Jong-un’s rise to power; notably, it was off by a few weeks. Regardless it was a shock to players in the majority. The following backstory also predicted that the country would be testing nuclear power in 2013. It got heavily censored in Japan and got banned fittingly in Korea. Though this game is in an alternate reality, let’s hope it isn’t right about anything else!5. Elite Dangerous Discovered A Whole System Before NASAThis was an absolute thrill ride! In a game where users discover and interact with different planets, the sneaky developers created a series of rules for how their galaxy would form. The Elite dangerous team was shocked when NASA discovered (precisely three years after the game was released) the Trappist-1 system because their algorithm had developed an almost identical one within the game.Understandably, the team had to rename their project, of course. I know it sounds like a fluke, but it was very much unintentional, and it demonstrated the potential and effects of what a solid algorithm can do. Imagine the shock when you realize that you mapped out the universe and discovered that the real planets are all in the confronts of their home.The Takeaway…All these predictions would have been grand conspiracy theories till they turned out to be true. Since the WW1, or perhaps even before, the world has experienced propaganda through art and cinema to bring “difficult” or controversial subjects to light. As the industry revolutionizes with time, we get to see these episodes in our time. Perhaps this particular usage of this medium may never end due to its effective impression on the masses. Seasons may change, but the political equivocal of these mediums will forever play an integral part in our need to dominate or influence people to create like-minded agendas.That said, technology has its fair share of woes. We continue to walk the path of advancement and progression that will lead to generating machines that will accurately predict the future, i.e., time machines. I know it sounds far-fetched now, but one day we might look back to this and think, “hey, didn’t I see this in a Simpsons episode?”Want to learn more cool facts about gaming?

For years, we have been told that making a movie takes a lot of time and effort, not to mention money. It’s not a piece of cake and definitely not something everyone can do. Recently, however, Andrew Chen talked about how generative AI could possibly change that and turn just about anyone into a filmmaker. We have the tech that could do just that. If it’s easy to write a book with just $1000, is it also to make the next summer blockbuster for the same amount? With OPUS, you can try and see for yourself. It’s not only possible but extremely accessible for everyone to turn their idea into reality.In the last twenty years, there have been numerous digital innovations that have significantly changed the way films are produced. A lot of mainstream cinema has been shot on digital formats with most of the post-production work such as editing and special effects being done afterward on computers. Have you noticed that movies are always evolving with better quality and details?It’s because filmmakers have invested in better digital projection facilities focusing on the sharpness, detail, and brightness of the film reel which can only be done digitally. If you wanna see how far we’ve come, just compare the remake of ‘KING KONG’ in 2005 with the original made in 1933 where you can clearly see the improvements we’ve made so far.So it makes sense that the preferred medium of old-school filmmakers is not going to be the traditional film studio anymore. The disadvantages are more than just the cost and expense of hiring a studio but also the resources that are available for shooting must be utilized on the day of the shoot otherwise it goes to waste.Cinematographers who have to develop the film have to go through the process of editing without going out of budget. This kind of problem doesn’t exist with the use of AI in the movie making process. It can help with script writing, per-production, casting, and promotion too aside from the obvious video editing, coloring, and music creation. What comes after this is complete reliance on technology that makes the entire movie by itself. Maybe you thought that wasn’t possible but we really have come a long way.OPUS has proprietary technology that lets the words you type turn into images that animate by themselves in the blink of an eye. You can be the next author of a movie or a game without having to prove anything other than that you’re a creative person with big ideas. We are living in the age of user-generated content where the power lies with the creator and execution is possible when the platform works to facilitate them. Think of how popular Instagram and YouTube have gotten through the process of democratization and distribution.OPUS lets you put on the publishing hat and pull the strings of the entire film making production. Think about it. Without production costs, location dilemmas, permits, and real-life actors, you’ve got more leverage over how the end product looks and feels with virtually no overhead cost. This is exciting news for those people who think they are amateurs and want to test out their potential and a game changer for those geniuses waiting to be discovered.Now, will the increased output decrease creativity? I don’t think so. When it comes to ideas, the more you produce content, the more you can innovate. Time is on your side and the tech will make it virtually possible to launch your hidden talent! The lightning speed at which these projects are completed means you can keep practicing your art and refine your skills. Writing a hit TV series and watching it evolve could be a thousand times easier than the hit-and-miss flicks that production houses go ahead with each year. We’re excited about the possibilities.
