Discuss 2022: I sopravvissuti

I know the premise and the ending of this film.

Is it still worth a watch?

Yeah. If you're entertained by futuristic dystopian dramas that are depressing through-and-through, that is.

Like Celluloid Fan said, yes, If you're a genre fan. A perpetual nitpicker like me will have plenty of unanswered questions about how this world functions. Suicide clinics exist, but are large families publicly discouraged? Are people given a tax credit to get vasectomized or tube-tied? The amount of potential living space in middle America is mentioned, but glossed over pretty quickly, with Heston's character saying, "they won't let you go there." What about the potential of underground cities and artificial land masses for living space? It's been more than a few years, so maybe I missed something. We've seen the real-life population in 2022 (the movie's setting) being manageable. When the movie was made "experts" were claiming the Earth couldn't sustain 6 billion people, so the over-population fear prevalent at the time of release doesn't age well.

I will say the arcade game in the rich man's apartment seems more legitimate now than in the last couple decades, I remember scoffing at the antiquated "futuristic" game when I saw the movie in the 90s, but now people do want retro gaming devices in their homes. You just have to look at it as him being a vintage collector rather than possessing the newest technology.
