Babylon 5 (The Gathering) is set in 2257 and the following years. To my surprise, it's pretty close to The Fifth Element's timeline. However the date is about the same thing they have in common.
Looks like I'ma have to watch/read Barbarella. I love the super far future shit and it's the only 1 of the 3 shown here I haven't seen/read.
Actually, it and Zardoz are literally the only thing on the entire list I've no knowledge of. I've at least heard of Barbarella; what's Zardoz about?
Dystopian future with red speedos. Even having watched it I could not tell you what it's about, except the title is the corruption of a children's book title.
opening scene of the terminator , 2029 i think.
As a resident of Britain, I feel like we're pretty on track for V for Vendetta, actually.
Placing movies like Planet of the Apes on our timeline makes no sense. It's a completely different planet, people! (The ape planet.)
I wasnβt aware the planet of the apes took place in a parallel dimension
That would certainly explain why there's apes everywhere.
It never claimed to be a different dimension, just it couldn't be earth, since apes are in charge (and different apes, not us)
from my memory, it was in a far distant future and humans had done something stupid and killed almost all humans off. and the apes had risen up and taken over.
Mine was a "no spoilers" joke. The film up until the final scene acts like it's a different planet
Oops, my bad
