11 Times Sci-Fi Movies Predicted The Future

Sci-fi films of the past have predicted possible futures. Here are the predictions that came true, from movies like Back To The Future 2, Star Wars, Blade Runner and more!

Science fiction films of the past have predicted possible futures. Here are 11 predictions from sci-fi movies that came true!

Part of the fun of science fiction films is in looking at them as a possible future we could end up having. With so many future predictions, some were bound to come true. Dave takes a look at past sci fi movies that predicted the future, including Total Recall, The Cable Guy, The Terminator, Minority Report, The Net, Blade Runner, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Back to the Future 2 and more, to see what came true!

I know its a TV show and not a movie, but Star Trek The Next Generation's use of PADDs.

Our tablets are actually MORE advanced than their PADDs.

Cable guy is not a Sci-Fi. It's a black comedy. No Sci-Fi in it anywhere.
