Movies set in 2019: What Blade Runner, Akira, The Island and MORE predicted for ...

And just like hoverboards in Back to the Future, we don’t have robot replicants or flying cars as it predicted just yet.

Of course, the Harrison Ford-led sci-fi classic is set in November 2019, so at least there’s still time.

Although judging by the dystopian look of Los Angeles the weather’s certainly set to take a turn for the worse.
