We just had a thread about biopunk centered media, I would love a similar collection about movies and TV shows about solar punk. Here we go:
I really loved the show the peripheral. I know it’s not really centered around solar punk per se, but it happens to be placed in a world where the main character goes from place to place in a solar charged e-bike.
What’s your favorite show or movie set in a solar punk world?
Treasure Planet has solar sails used as the energy source for propulsion for ships.
Its also an absolutely amazing movie!
In some sense Waterworld qualifies.
Also Cloud Atlas in some of the settings, though a bit more primitivist
Waterworld. I agree, mixes with diselpunk. Cloud Atlas, at least the futuristic part.
- Okja? Does that count.
- Some Miyazaki movies.
- Tomorrowland
Tomorrowland looks awesome. Thanks!
Princess Mononoke from studio Ghibli.
Edit: whoops, I meant ‘Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind’
Nausicaa is more solar/windpunk than Princess Mononoke, which is more primitivist.
Shoot, that’s the one I was actually thinking of!
Most of Miyazakis films
Well, not solar punk but environmentalist. Travelers. It’s a show about people traveling back in time to stop climate collapse, it’s pretty good.
