What sci-fi movie ever got the date right?
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Gareth Edwards, director of the sci-fi movie The Creator, has admitted that he regrets setting the year 2070 as the future timeline. Set in a world where humanity has been embroiled in a war against the forces of artificial intelligence, Edward’s movie picks up years after a nuclear bomb was allegedly detonated in Los Angeles by AI forces, setting the scene for a brutal and extended conflict.
Speaking with Cinema Daily US, Edwards reflected on his decision to provide his movie with a firm date, despite his initial reluctance to do so. Admitting that many sci-fi movies never succeed in accurately predicting a precise future, Edwards even cites Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey as a prime example as to why he was hesitant to come up with his own 2070 date.
The trick with AI is to get time in that sweet spot window where it’s before the Robo-apocalypse and not after — which I think is in November or maybe December. I think we got really lucky. The joke would be that when you write a film, especially a science fiction film, you avoid putting a date on it. I didn’t want to write a date for the movie because even Kubrick got it wrong. I was like, “don’t write a date," and then at some point, you have to. I did some math and picked 2070.
Why The Creator’s 2070 Timeline Fits Perfectly With Other Sci-Fi Classics As Edwards suggests, one of the hardest tasks of any science fiction writer or filmmaker is providing audiences with an indication of when their imagined future may come to pass.
Between the flying cars and rehydrated pizza of Back to the Future Part II’s 2015, or Skynet’s ever shifting Judgment Day from the Terminator franchise, countless sci-fi classics have all tried their hand at predicting a future world that inevitably ages poorly when those real dates finally roll around. But when audience members get hung up on these relatively minor narrative details, they often do so at the expense of missing the bigger points of the stories being told.
