The 20 Best Dystopian Science Fiction Movies of All Time
Dystopian, coming from the Greek words δυσ- and τόπος (which mean "bad" and "place" respectively), is a film genre that describes a society, usually in the future, which is under control of a very repressive regime. The films are often characterised by violence, War, poverty, and suffering. Science fiction is a broad genre of speculative fiction that revolves around futuristic, scientifically improbable, and imaginative concepts. Such concepts mostly stem from hypothetical scientific or technological advancements and discoveries, as well as from galactic or extraterrestrial involvement. This main source of inspiration is what distinguishes science fiction from Fantasy, which shares its speculative and imaginative nature but instead focuses on themes relating to magic, supernatural elements, mythology, and folklore. In addition to that, sci-fi typically takes place in distant future societies while fantasy is often set in Medieval or medieval-like societies.
