Back in the 80's and 90's I was a bit annoyed that so many SciFi movies were dystopian nightmares. The general trend historically has always been to move society forward, with only temporary setbacks.

Now I can see I was naive and over optimistic back then, and the dystopian nightmares were actually relevant warnings, ironically the warnings from Hollywood (USA) are mostly relevant thanks to USA.

(TL;DR: a not-necessarily-correct view of history as progression from a bad past to a good present, and probably a better future)

If you prefer this particular dystopian vision with chuckles, Rifftrax did it and was pretty good as I recall.
