Joe HolmesWritten on June 20, 2018"Blade Runner, the film that greatly influenced all sci-fi media, from games to comics and anime. It's hard to imagine a world without Blade Runner. Maybe media will deviate in a different path, possibly a non-technology ideology. Sci-fi media like Blade Runner help us question ethics and possibilities of when technology should stop from overtaking humanity."#2Ghost in the Shell

#3Gattaca

Gattaca is a futuristic thriller with a touch of noir cinema, like Blade Runner, that tells the story of a dystopic world where people are divided between those who are genetically enhanced and those who not.

"I perceive Gattaca as a fascist nightmare because of gene determinism. This what happens when science takes over human factors. They trample free will and dreams which constitutes humanity. I believe we should never forget being human in the midst of technological advancement."

"2001: A Space Oddesey is your classic film about humans and machine. Machines are often depicted as objective-oriented while disregarding human factors like emotions. HAL 9000 is a scary fellow because it would rather jeopardize the lives of the crew to carry out the mission. HAL eventually showed human weaknesses as it gets disconnected. Here's the question: are we ready to depend on pragmatic AIs?"#6Minority Report

Minority Report is an American neo-noir, science fiction movie in 2002 by Steven Spielberg. The movie is about office Chief John Anderton framed of a future murder he didn't commit. Anderton investigates who framed him.

"Other than the future tech of predicting crimes, Minority Report explores free will against determinism. Sure, they can predict who would commit a crime via science but they never accounted for errors like false, implanted memories. I firmly believe that free will still exist despite the predetermined paths calculated by science. The film is a good mental exercise of philosophy and ethics."#7Avatar

"It's explicitly about the hostile occupation of Africa by giant companies who wants to milk their natural resources. Fortunately, nature triumphs over technology as the natives of Pandora overpower them with brute force. Yeah, and the tech that truned Jake Sully into a furry alien? The tech helped him realized his true nature and overcome his disability. It's still nature over tech in the end."#8Iron Man

"Have you noticed that Iron Man implicated the dangers of weaponizing technologies? Look at the terrorists and even Iron Monger coercing Tony Stark to use his tech for bad. Tony also began in the film as an arms dealer and getting blown by his own tech. That's when he realized he has to use his tech for the good."#9The Matrix

"The Matrix has a messy setup about technology and destiny. They fight technology with technology, at the same time believes in a prophecy that can't be explaind by science. Heck, the heavy allegory of Neo as a Christ figure is soo ingrained heavily. The Matrix even borrowed inspiration from Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell."
