Snowpiercer

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1706620/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Ecological dystopia...on a train.

Has some plot holes, but original story with great action sequences.

Idiocracy (2005)

What could go wrong over 500 years if you keep making stuff user-friendly? It's an American movie, but Americans may find it insulting. The female half of the protagonists got a very disappointing role.

Demolition Man (1993)

A police officer and an escaped criminal are unfrozen in a cheerful future dystopia. Mostly a classic action movie but with some interesting future flavor and a few good situational jokes.

Rollerball (1975)

Proto-cyberpunk. Future world ruled by corporations. A cerebral slow-burner with no special effects, but some interesting questions. Motorcycle action done the hard way.

Brazil (1985)

An opressive bureaucratic dystopia. 1984 seer through the bottom of a beer bottle. Directed by one of the Monty Pythons.
