I just watched over a hundred years of sci-fi crunched into four minutes. And beyond a fun trip down memory lane, I noticed a few things. The effects have radically improved, but the themes haven't changed much at all.

Murderous robots and AI, scientific experiments run amok, oppressive regimes, the elite vs. the masses, hostile aliens, and gritty dystopias—these aren't just the realm of the last few decades, they've been around much longer.
