The Island is actually a copy of an earlier low-budget movie called Parts: The Clonus Horror, which has the exact same plot, but also stars Dick Sergeant and Peter Graves. Fun fact!

"In Time" is pretty similar to Logan's Run, I guess, minus 4 years or so.

Interesting quiz.. I expected "A Scanner Darkly" and "THX 1138" to be there, too, but you've got the most important. Mhm, maybe also "The Time-Machine"...

I'd have loved to have seen The Road in this quiz. It's such a brilliant film. You you aint getting more dystopian than that! Mad Max too maybe?!

Many of these are not truly "Dystopian." A Dystopian future is one where things on the surface *seem* idyllic but there is something terribly wrong... Logan's Run is a good example. As is Minority Report. Or else it is the failed attempt to achieve utopia, as in 1984. But many of these are really just post-apocalyptic movies (Planet of the Apes, Matrix, etc.) or just straight-up sci-fi like Robocop.

hm.. ok.. guess some of these kind of fit definition 2 on wikipedia, though I always heard definition 1 used, which matches what I was saying. I think def. 2 is probably just a corruption of the meaning of the word popularized by people who didn't understand definition 1. But... language is dynamic.
