Funny to me that they call out the excellent Vanilla Sky (yes, I know Abre los Ojos is better) and the horrible (but fun) Demolition Man, but don't mention the much more likely Idiocracy.
In seriousness, people who will wake up will face a form of Future Shock that will look tame by our standards. The Forever War touched on this incredibly well.
- ToastyMallows 10y agoWhat about Futurama? The whole show is about someone who gets woken up from being cryogenically frozen. We could stand to learn a lot about Fry and his adventures.
- nradov 10y agoI love Futurama, but come on. The only thing you're going to learn by watching that show is how to write a funny TV script.
- surfaceTensi0n 10y agoReally? What about Jurassic Bark[0]? That episode is extremely sad and precisely about the fallout of being cryogenically frozen. [0] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurassic_Bark https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurassic_Bark
- ToastyMallows 10y agoMy comment was a little tounge-in-cheek, but as mentioned there are good episodes about the perils of being cryogenically frozen.
- nradov 10y agoJust like "Mars Attacks!" is a good movie about the perils of an alien invasion. If things that will never happen in our lifetimes can legitimately be described as perils.
- tim333 10y agoOr Sleeper? The only film mentioned to get 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
- surfaceTensi0n 10y agoWarren Ellis' excellent Transmetropolitan touches on this as well. [0] - http://amzn.to/1Tzbd5T http://amzn.to/1Tzbd5T
- siquick 10y agoJust ordered a copy of The Forever War on the back of this, thanks for bringing it up.
- Negative1 10y agoHope you enjoy it -- it's one of my top 5 favorite scifi books!
