This is a terrible way of visualizing data. Who uses a bar chart for yearsβ½ It should just be a timeline.

The bar is from actual release year to setting year, that's why the left edges aren't aligned
The annoying thing is the vertical line (when this infographic came out) wasnβt updated so it just looks like a random line.
Timeline would suck. The right side would be so far it would compress all the data.
Clearly this should be a pie chart.
Nah, they should go with a box and whisker. One box for release date, one for date depicted.
Iβm not sure what being almost 10yrs post robocop makes me feel, but I donβt like it. This future isnβt what I was promised in the 80s, and while no killer robots is nice, I still feel a bit cheated
I'm still waiting for that TV show where the guy says"I'd buy that for a dollar"
No love for "A Boy and His Dog" which is set in 2024 and is one of the big inspirations of the original Fallout games?
I thought we were already in 2505
Where do the Hyperion books fit on this graph?
I cant wait for 2047
Almost time for children of men. "Alright, yer 'fugees now. Show Syd the 'fugee face. Sad face."
The arrow is pointing the wrong direction.
Shit i need to watch soylent green again
The first 10 minutes is all you really need to watch to enjoy all it has to offer
And miss charlton heston at his finest?!
Hm, I need to get some furniture...
2027-2032 is going to be a wild ride.
I watched Soylent Green for the first time about seven years ago and was surprised a film from the 70s was tackling the issue of climate change back then. It's a pretty good film, but I thought it ended a bit too prematurely. I wanted to see what happened after the lead character makes his chilling discovery.
I thought the new planet of the apes movies took place in present times
This is about the old one.
oh yeah, I see the starting point in the chart now.
opening scene of the terminator , 2029 i think.
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.
As a resident of Britain, I feel like we're pretty on track for V for Vendetta, actually.
