I really hope that's the best movie ever made for your sake bro. Otherwise I'm seriously worried about you.
I'll get over it if it doesn't meet my expectations and is merely a good movie.

Have you seen the news lately? I give us 5 more good years.

Well that's just a load of crap, not to mention it completely ignores our technological explosion also. Think how technology has advanced in the last 20 years. Now imagine the technological advancements 100 years from now. Problems spur innovation.
I think we're on this planet for thousands of years until a cataclysmic natural disaster wipes us out.

Who knows. Only god knows the exact date and time. Just live each day to the fullest.

Conventional warfare is fast going by the way side. All that has to happen is for extremist to make a move. ISIS is only 1000 strong and they captured N Iraq. When they did they got 600 million and all the US war machines. Imagine if the extremist in Russian got control? Did you know there are 1 billion Muslims in the East? China could get over taken and then what? What would ISIS do With Russian and Chinese nukes?

Man faces two existential threats - Nuclear warfare and environmental destruction.
I do not think there is any leadership with the clout to deliver that is crazy enough to seek out destruction of the race by way of nuclear warfare. Environmental destruction is incremental; it is a bigger problem as not everyone acknowledges or believes in the threats we may very well be exposing ourselves to.

I am sure James Foley's family thought the same thing...

I am basically in the Malthusian/dieoff camp that population will be down to a billion or so in 50-100 years when the fossil fuels are gone.
Video - Arithmetic, Population, and Energy.
Population - the Elephant in the Room.
Peak Oil, Total Collapse and the Road to Olduvai.
The End of Growth.
Eating Fossil Fuels.
Lots more fun at the dieoff sites:

Jesus, ya'll are the same as the frickers in the early 1800's saying the world was going to end because we were killing all the whales and running out of whale oil.
Look what happened.

Whenever pigs fly and hell freezes over. Which has already happened so I'm kinda stumped on the answer.

If we really knew what life would be like 200 years from now, we would be amazed by great some things were and horrified by how bad others were (to us). Just like the feeling someone from 1814 would feel about today.

That's crazy talk. First, nature has a way of balancing things out. If there aren't enough resources to go around and we can't keep the 3rd world down, then we'll try to put them down and you'll see WWIII and a population thinning. We may infact be in the process of putting the wheels in motion on this now.
Secondly, our primary need is energy. The sun is giving us more energy than we know what to do with. Figure out how to properly harvest solar energy and combine that with technology that uses energy to transform one molecule into another (think Star Trek replicator) and you've got all the stuff you need, be it a McMansion or food and water.
We'll either innovate or kill our way out of this problem. Let's hope for innovation.

Hopefully we get in another LSU football and baseball season before it happens.
