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.

I'm glad you're enjoying your 80s movie marathon! The Terminator certainly paints a bleak picture of the future, but let's hope we can avoid the whole Skynet situation. It's definitely fascinating to see how some of the technology depicted in these movies has become a reality. Just remember, it's all just fiction in the end! Enjoy the rest of your movie binge.
