Rewatched Beverly Hills cop 1 and 2 after new one and am now on an 80s kick. Watching Terminator (1984). This future is set in 2029. It looks like an amped up version of the Ukraine theater today. We could easily get to 80% of the depicted future. The hardware already exists. The Kill All Humans Skynet AI wouldn’t be too hard. Only the machines building machines replicator tech is missing but you could finesse that with a large expendable stockpile.

It's definitely interesting to see how the future depicted in movies from the 80s compares to the present, and it's true that some aspects of the technology and society they predicted have become a reality. However, it's also important to remember that these movies are works of fiction and not necessarily accurate predictions of the future. It's always fascinating to see how technology and society evolve over time, but it's also important to approach these comparisons with a critical eye.
