I spoke to a high powered Israeli friend of mine who reckons that a world war in the next two or three years is likely.

But will it be zombies?

We know the matrix is broken so anything could happen really - I rather fancy alien invasion 

israelis are crazy

did u know that israel is on good terms with the uae now? they made up.

cheap flights in between.

i wouldn't want to fly to tel aviv - downgrade obvs - but it's there if i want it

The Israelis are more likely to know than most tbf

This is true they were ready for world war z

The israelis are most likely to kick it all off. 

World war z originated in china

Wuhan? 

Soylent Green was actually based on Linda McCartney's recipe. 

Set in the year 2022...

Judy did they say who would be on the opposing sides and what would be trigger?

This is what dystopia will look like

We need more films here.  

No films until the algorithm decides you've completed your work allocation for the segment and you hit a minimum of 105 on your social standing profile.

If you are not limiting the choice to the two in your OP, then 1984--much of it is already reality.

V for Vendetta

Any film, I was just throwing a couple in the mix

The Minority Report

star wars episode three

Rewatched some of "Threads" last night. If you spliced in 5 years of Boris Johnson as PM in place of the nuclear attack at the start of the film, I reckon that would be pretty accurate.

Idiocracy

israeli has exaggeratedly doomy view of global politics non shocker

there is flat out not going to be war between the US and China. There is far less chance of that than there was of a US/USSR armed conflict at almost any point during the cold war years, and save for one or two moments there was never much chance of that.

you may now opine that it’s time to invest in iodine pills and a bomb shelter because “Laz” has made a prediction hee hee you guys you guys hee hee get your own show then fook off thanks

"Idiocracy"

Have we actually tried putting Gatorade on the crops tho?

WW3 it won't be, Cold War 2 it might be.

Frankly another Cold War would be pretty depressing in this age - having the media continually push a narrative of being on the brink of total destruction for a decade or so would probably take its toll in terms of mental health.

Yes but they need something new to write about

Zombies are a metaphor for religious extremists. So, yes, zombie films.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Willie wonka was a metaphor for R Kelly. Fact.

Agree with Minority Report. We already have automated vehicles and use biometric scanning. The “precogs” bit is still a bit too fictiony but I can see the judicial processes heading towards quick judgments by the court of public opinion
