What is it about even certain well-budgeted Hollywood films of the ’80s and ’90s that tried to get away with being set “in the future” by upping a few props? Unlike, say, Blade Runner … which admittedly bankrupted a few companies and municipalities (yes, I jest) to make a fully textured dark future, it seems like the audience is supposed to just focus in on the “futuristic” mis en scene while ignoring the fact that everyone is driving 1990 model Chevrolets.
