01/08/12 Into Eternity: A Film for the Future (2010)

Generally don't include documentaries on here as this is meant to be a list of, er, is 'fiction' the word? Feature films or whatever.

Anyway, this one can be included as even though it's plump with juicy fact-yums about the safe storage and legacy of nuclear waste that we're leaving behind for the next 100,000 years, it's presented in a psuedo-story style, a message to the future people about how clueless we are. It could also be interpreted as something of an pre-emptive apology, as in: "Dear great, great, great, great, great, great grandchildren, sorry you've got twelve tits on each bicep, this is because we enjoyed central heating and flatscreen TVs. Cheers, The Past."

Double worrying is the fact that composite wisdom drawn from 70 years of Sci-Fi films suggests that future humans will be some form of sightless mole-people who might accidentally tunnel into the vast underground areas we're keeping this radioactive thrumming shit in.

Another reason why this merits inclusion here is the rather lovely, and very cinematic camera work. Top notch stuff. Even if the subject bores you, it's very visually compelling.
