Futuristic movie timeline

Courtesy DanMeth.com, here is a handy chart showing the timelines for various sci-fi movies, in chronological order. It's kind of amusing to imagine that all these movies are set in the same sci-fi universe - so that, for instance, by 2173 the world has become the sterile utopia of Sleeper, and then by 2199 the Matrix machines have taken over and they're using humans for batteries, and then by 2220 we've sorted all that out and we're exploring the galaxy in our Forbidden Planet flying saucers. It makes it seem like we're just constantly building up grand civilizations only to then watch them crumble to ruin... Which, come to think of it, isn't that far from how human history has worked so far.
