I’m curious about the blank sections
Not OP. Making guesses here…
- Idiocracy = humanity becomes catastrophically stupid / institutions decay
- The Matrix = humans are reduced to resources inside a machine-controlled system
- Terminator = machines actively exterminate humanity
Idiocracy X Matrix: People are dumb & happy, caused their own problems, so maybe Wall-E?
Idiocracy X Terminator: Our stupidity puts us in a bad situation of creating our own demise. Dr. Strangelove perhaps?
Matrix X Termiantor: Machine dominate humanity out of existence. The cross here feels shallow, like these films are pretty similar with regards to humans, machines, and the outcome. Oblivon (2013) kinda works? 9 could also work.
Center: I dunno, Robocop? Systems failing, corporations suck, lethal machines. Honestly Black Mirror likely wins, but it’s too broad a series.
i can see terminator and idiocracy, but why matrix?
Because your job is to shutup, keep your head in the sand, and pay your taxes while your life force is drained from you by entities and machinations beyond your grasp.
