    Ah fuck, our universe is heading towards Elysium-esque. Never Fifth Element, never Star Trek, closer to Atlas Shrugged and Real Steel, but I really hoped it wouldn’t be this bleak

      The fifth element future was pretty bleak was it not? Or am I not remembering the movie correctly? It seemed like a pretty authoritarian universe to me

        The Fifth Element depicted a straight up utopia where gift wrapped Milla Jovoviches fall from the sky. I do not need any more than that.

        You don’t like automated traffic violation tickets? Or a corporate head that operates like a cartoon villain while the government acts like they can’t do anything until the very end?
