Ten of the most interesting sci-fi futures

Some of the best (and wholly depressing) futures depicted by the genre.

039_8892~Planet-of-the-Apes-Posters6. Planet Of The Apes
Released: 1968
Director:
Franklin J Schaffner
Starring:
Charlton Heston, Roddy McDowall, Maurice Evans

Aired: 1994-1998
Creator:
J Michael Straczynski
Starring:
Bruce Boxleitner, Claudia Christian, Jerry Doyle
