In the Future...
Sure, we were all expecting to be zipping along like George Jetson in our flying cars, watching the colonies on Mars get built, and living free of religious repression by now.
Silly us.
But it's heartening to see new visions of the future in thoughtful films like ULTRAVIOLET that we can get excited about. For example:
New viruses that mutate us so we can curl up into balls and roll down hallways
Metal has apparently become as fragile as glass, such that it shatters on a regular basis when struck by things like shoes and hands
Hey, that bare midriff look is a keeper. Still going strong 90 years from now.
Swords - lots of swords.
Slang has not progressed. "Are You Mental?" and "Come and Get It" are still hip.
Looks like women lose a couple of pairs of ribs.
Probably more, but you get the gist. Hey, it's a dystopian place, the future, but then again - so's the present.
