Its also an absolutely amazing movie!
Came here to say this, the solar sails are beautiful in action. Other movies that have a moment with solar: WALL-E, Star Wars Episode 2 (solar sails appear again)
Not exactly the gerne I'm looking for, but will watch it anyways. Looks interesting
- Okja? Does that count.
- Some Miyazaki movies.
- Tomorrowland
Tomorrowland looks awesome. Thanks!
I'm not too keen on Tomorrowland. it's got a lot of great man theory messages in it, which isn't surprising since it was written and directed by Brad Bird, a notorious Objectivist
Tbf yes. Not particularly a fan myself
In some sense Waterworld qualifies.
Also Cloud Atlas in some of the settings, though a bit more primitivist
Waterworld. I agree, mixes with diselpunk. Cloud Atlas, at least the futuristic part.
Princess Mononoke from studio Ghibli.
Edit: whoops, I meant 'NausicaΓ€ of the Valley of the Wind'
Nausicaa is more solar/windpunk than Princess Mononoke, which is more primitivist.
Shoot, that's the one I was actually thinking of!
Most of Miyazakis films
Awesome but not really solarpunk.
Maybe Atlantis? Also maybe the fremen parts of Dune, though that again is more primitivist in some respects.
I'd say overall Solarpunk still lacks its cornerstone film.
Well, not solar punk but environmentalist. Travelers. It's a show about people traveling back in time to stop climate collapse, it's pretty good.
Not sure if Sunshine qualifies, but its an excellent sci-fi with the sun theme
