Future according to Sci-fi

Here is a list of science fiction visions for the future.

Apocalyptic wasteland: Mad Max. Terminator. Waterworld.
Cyberpunk metropolis sprawl: Neuromancer, Matrix, Ghost in the Shell.
Enlightened Utopia: Star Trek.
Utopia with a twist: Brave New World. Gattaca.
Dystopia: 1984.
City-state as microcosm: Land of the Dead, Aeon Flux, Battlestar Galactica.
Space westerns: Star Wars, Cowboy Bebop, Firefly, Alien.

Am I missing anything? I consider the cyberpunk one to be most likely, mixed in with a little bit of utopia or dystopia depending on where you live.
