An Ode to Dystopian Films

I've been thinking a lot about sci-fi movies recently. Watching "Repo" really got under my skin, and made me inspired about movies again, and I was thinking about how awesome it must have been to work on that film and create it. My favorite genre is sci-fi dystopian films, and so I made an ode to them (well, its really mostly about the bad ones).

Oh Dystopian sci-fi films.

I love your silly costumes.

I love your dark shadows.

I adore your attempt at shaking up the social norms.

I like how you try to be groundbreaking, but usually end up sounding like Orwell.

I dislike how you often objectify women or make them androgynous.

I love that you often start a cult following.

I am ashamed when you shamelessly copy a past film.

I love the random actors that star in you, and knowing that they did it for the money.

I wish a new one would come out in theaters every week instead of just on the Sci Fi channel.

Oh dystopian films, how I love thee.
