This weekend, The Retro Network published Ernest Dempsey’s article “Two-Way Déjà Vu with ‘70s Sci-Fi Flicks,” which lists some of the most prophetic sci-fi movies with dystopian settings and/or themes from the 1970s.
The five movies, each discussed in detail in Dempsey’s recent book ScreenScope with Ernie – Volume 1, included in the article are:
- The Resurrection of Zachary Wheeler (1971)
- The Mind Snatchers (1972)
- Soylent Green (1973)
- Embryo (1976)
- The Cassandra Crossing (1976)
Each movie on this list highlights the dark side of human experimentation with one or other natural phenomenon and the resulting impact with moral, psychological, cultural, and/or philosophical implications.
The Retro Network is the ultimate resource of all things nostalgic about the golden decades 70s, 80s, and 90s in fun and entertainment in the popular culture of the English-speaking world. With its X tagline “Where memories live forever,” it offers a treasure of articles, podcasts, and other paraphernalia in the retro entertainment world.
