Minority Report had tracking satellites, one brief mention.

 

[SecretSquirrel]

A Clockwork Orange

Nope...


TRAMP
Oh-hhh!!! Go on, do me in you b*****d cowards. I don't want to live anyway, not in a stinking world like this.

ALEX
Oh and what's so stinking about it?

TRAMP
It's a stinking world because there's no law and order any more. It's a stinking world because it lets the young get onto the old like you done. It's no world for an old man any more. What sort of a world is it at all? Men on the moon and men spinning around the earth and there's not no attention paid to earthly law and order no more.

Plan 9 From Outer Space.

They had space traveling paper plates, we did not.

 

[MarkII]

Fahrenheit 451

Damn! Beat me to it!

What are some scifi movies or tv shows that depicted Earth in the future but without space travel? Nevermind films with the apocalyptic scenarios like "mad max" but have rather a static post modern 'brave new world' society?

Oh, can't touch that!

 

[MarkII]

Tron

Also, Sleeper.
Back To The Future, Part II

Johnny Mnemonic

Also, no one has mentioned the widely-acclaimed "film of the decade" of the 2000s.

Dark City actually takes place in space and has aliens.

"Harrison Bergeron"
and
"A Sound of Thunder"

"Damnation Alley"

"Damnation Alley"

Nope - Post Apocalyptic

 

[spacecadet]

The movie I cannot remember the title of had a distinctly 1930's/1940's style, but it was not set in our 1930's/1940's reality.

That was 'Sky captain'.

 

[falingtrea]

Metropolis??

 

[shreadvector]

That was 'Sky captain'.

no (again). I listed Sky Captain, but the movie I dimly remember was released a few years before that.

 

[Boosterdude]

Caddy Shack

 

[DRAGON64]

Bicentennial Man with Robin Williams

 

[MarkII]

Brazil ?

From the Wikipedia entry: "...set in a dystopian world in which there is an over-reliance on poorly maintained (and rather whimsical) machines. Brazil's bureaucratic, totalitarian government is reminiscent of the government depicted in George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, except that it has a buffoonish, slap-stick quality and lacks a 'Big Brother' figure."

My personal favorite of the movies that have been mentioned is probably Sleeper.

Metropolis??

[luke strawwalker]

The Omega Man starring Charlton Hesston...

 

[shreadvector]

The Omega Man starring Charlton Hesston...

Post apocalyptic therefore disqualified. Just like "I am Legend" and any other similar versions of the same story.

 

[MarkII]

My personal favorite of the movies that have been mentioned is probably Sleeper.

MarkII

It's possibly also the most plausible...

[sandman]

Post apocalyptic therefore disqualified. Just like "I am Legend" and any other similar versions of the same story.

I'm pretty sure "I Am Legend" is a remake of "Omega Man".

Now "Waterworld" mentions an apocalyps and it was generally a bad movie but that sailboat...makes me drool!

Children of Men
