Will our future be more of a Dystopia or Utopia based on these films?

With films like Mad Max, iRobot, The Book of Eli, and the Matrix attempting to predict the future of our world, we have different visions of what the future might look like.

Some portray an improved world by technology & artificial intelligence, and others show a completely destroyed world from wars with basically nothing but wasteland left.

Spoiler Alert - some information about the films may be leaked if you read further and have not seen the films. However, I tried not to leak any important information that you wouldn't find in the trailer, but if you have not seen them please be aware of this!

Here are some examples of some films about the future:
