Future dates of movies in a timeline

This timeline of futuristic movies hilariously shows where we are in time. According to Hollywood, we should be eating Soylent Green right now, not watching Blade Runner-style ads.

What Makes This Visual Click

• It instantly grabs attention with a bold “YOU ARE HERE.”
• It simplifies decades of pop culture into a single scrollable image.
• It gives context — people love seeing “where we are” compared to “where we thought we’d be.”

Why It Works

• Context creates connection. People relate when they see themselves in a story.
• Visual hierarchy. The bright red arrow draws your eye.
• Contrast and clarity. Simple design, big payoff.

Real-World Examples

• Spotify Wrapped does this yearly — showing “where you are” musically.
• Google Trends Year in Search creates context with time and personal relevance.
• NASA social posts connect the present with milestones in exploration history.
