Will robots put Arnie out of a job? Schwarzenegger comes face to face with a rival during a press conference for'Terminator Genisys' at a press conference in South Korea (AP Photo/Ahn Young-joon) Science fiction in the movies is almost as old as the movies themselves. It didn't take long before frock-coated futurologists spotted the potential of the medium resulting in the production of'A Trip to the Moon' by George Melies in 1902. But how good is cinema at predicting the future with any degree of accuracy? Where for example were all those spaceships that were supposed to be buzzing backwards and forwards to the moon fifteen years ago according to '2001: A Space Odyssey', given that the last person to set foot on it did so back in 1972? Despite the efforts of Richard Branson and Elon Musk I wouldn't recommend holding your breath on that one happening any time soon.
