There are movies where the powerful are good (Superman), where the powerful are bad (Erin Brockovich), and where the weak are good (Revenge of the Nerds), but relatively few where the weak are bad.

The Great Gatsby

An adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's Long Island-set novel, where Midwesterner Nick Carraway is lured into the lavish world of his neighbor, Jay Gatsby. Soon enough, however, Carraway will see through the cracks of Gatsby's nouveau riche existence, where obsession, madness, and tragedy await.

By contrast, a two minute trailer for the Great Gatsby movie feels like it delivers more than 0% of the entertainment value.

Surrogates

Set in a futuristic world where humans live in isolation and interact through surrogate robots, a cop is forced to leave his home for the first time in years in order to investigate the murders of others' surrogates.

There is a decent sci-fi movie on this called Surrogates. Dystopian like much contemporary Western “Black Mirror” culture, but still worth looking at if you’re interested in this area.

Black Panther

King T'Challa returns home to the reclusive, technologically advanced African nation of Wakanda to serve as his country's new leader. However, T'Challa soon finds that he is challenged for the throne by factions within his own country as well as without. Using powers reserved to Wakandan kings, T'Challa assumes the Black Panther mantle to join with ex-girlfriend Nakia, the queen-mother, his princess-kid sister, members of the Dora Milaje (the Wakandan 'special forces') and an American secret agent, to prevent Wakanda from being dragged into a world war.

Black Panther was similarly interesting visually; on one level it was just another American superhero movie, but on another level it was a vision of a post-American Afro-Futurism.

Contagion

As an epidemic of a lethal airborne virus - that kills within days - rapidly grows, the worldwide medical community races to find a cure and control the panic that spreads faster than the virus itself.

Compare COVID to the movie Contagion. In the movie, the state is quietly competent in response to a deadly threat. In reality, quite the opposite.

Limitless

A paranoia-fueled action thriller about an unsuccessful writer whose life is transformed by a top-secret "smart drug" that allows him to use 100% of his brain and become a perfect version of himself.

There are multiple definitions of transhumanism in circulation. The original definition is Nietzschean. To transcend human limits, using everything from quantified self to nootropics. Fitness is absolutely a part of it. Think of the movie Limitless.

The Battle at Lake Changjin

Korean War, winter 1950. In the frozen and snowy area of Changjin Lake, a bloody battle is about to begin between the elite troops of the United States and China.

Just saw The Battle at Lake Changjin. Through-the-looking-glass experience, where the good guys are the plucky underdog Chinese and the bad guys are the powerful Americans. It’s the #1 movie in the world, and seemingly meant to prepare for conflict.
