Why isn't there much futuristic technology in Logan?
The Wolverine film Logan is set in 2029, yet it seems there is very few technological advancements since 2017 when the film was released.
There are noticeable exceptions, eg: Logan's limo and the self driving trucks, but everything else seems to be at least 13 years old (conveniently our time) - the Reaver's vehicles, Gabriella's phone, other cars (eg, the 'nice truck' owned by the farmers controlling the water supply), the iPod lent to Laura, etc.
Is this meant to represent some kind of financial downturn where no one can afford new things?
Best Answer
Take a look around you - how much technology is around that wasn't around 13 years ago? How much wasn't around 13 years before that?
The computers (desktops and laptops), cars, planes, flat screen televisions, cellphones, etc, that we have now are mostly refined versions of what we had then rather than fantastically futuristic things (by comparison). While there are obvious times we can point to and say "this is new" - most technology is merely a refinement.
To take a counterpoint - look at some of the extreme futuristic technology in other movies - Back to the Future had flying cars, holograms, rehydrated pizza, and hoverboards within 30 years; BladeRunner had flying cars, engineered pets and replicants within 35 years. None of that has happened yet...
