The future is shit - see it in the movies

Art imitates, validates, substantiates, and indicates – life. Even surrealist art references life. Films being the apogee of the modern sensory art medium, leave me very worried about our future.
Can you think of a single film that paints a good, nay, even half-decent picture of our future?
The world in all futuristic movies is basically a shit-hole. Technology is ultra, ultra developed. Almost inversely to that happening, is that the world itself, which in these movies, is a dump.
If that’s how some of the visionary artists of the film medium see the future, shouldn’t we be worried?
