2073
This is a warning
Inspired by Chris Marker's iconic 1962 featurette La Jetée; the year is 2073—a not-so-distant dystopian future—and the setting is New San Francisco, the scorched-earth tech-dominant police state where democracy and personal freedom have been well and truly obliterated.

Seriously? Is my television out of tune? Did I see that?
Really? Credits go for wearing their Marxist left wing ideologies on their shirt sleaves, getting out the bullhorn and letting everyone know they're here. This film can't even be considered entertainment. It's propaganda. These sad liberal clowns have been reduced to barfing their ideas right on top of your head in the form of a docudrama about the right wing's plan to destroy Earth, complete with stock footage of KKK members burning crosses and, of course, Trump.
Thank God California looks like it was flooded over with trash from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in this awful film. They're self-righteous sore losers anyhow.
Full transparency. I flipped this movie off rather quickly. If it got better, let me know.

It's afraid!
2073 is a far-left film that places a dystopian future fiction on a base of current political propaganda. Made before the LA fire of 2025, it eerily opens with fire. It portrays libertarians and populists as the architects of impending societal collapse, using recent news clips as support.
The motivation for the film is the wave of popularism and libertarianism that threatens to remove Socialist parties from power worldwide. The film states that directly. However, the film relies on mischaracterizations, such as equating libertarians with anti-democratic authoritarianism.
On a personal note, as a lifelong lowercase libertarian who voted for Trump, I am both amused and thrilled that libertarians have gone from obscurity to public enemy #1 of the bloodsucking Socialists.
The film attempts to libel by juxtaposition. For example, it puts Trump and Milei in the same category as Duterte. Also, it speaks of Peter Thiel (whom they label as "ultra libertarian") and his spooky CIA-started spying company Palantir just before criticizing China's spooky surveillance of the Uyghurs.
Elon Musk receives numerous barbs, badges of honor really. They say it is "survival of the richest", implying Elon Musk is trying to evacuate himself to Mars before a civilization-ending event on Earth. LOL, there will not be a *self-sustaining* Mars colony within Musk's lifetime and he knows that. The people who made this film are paranoid schizophrenics, no exaggeration.
At first it seemed odd to me that the film also negatively frames Leftist allies like Alphabet and the CIA, but then I looked up the film's director and found he is an Indian-Muslim British Socialist, which explains a lot. Ultimately, 2073 feels like both propaganda and a misguided warning, saying more about the filmmakers’ mental state than anything else.
