Well, this isn't really about the future, but in the beginning of the Time Machine, when Wells has his Time Traveller explaining the 4th dimension (time)...I always find that cool. I haven't seen the movie yet, so I don't know if it is in there.

It sounds really good, but it's not accurate. But very good for being written when it was.
