'''Death Race 2050''' is a low budget B movie with [[science fiction]] elements created by Roger Corman.

== Plot ==

Set in 2050 in the UCA (United Corporations of America), a "Death Race" is held every year in order to keep the population in check.

== Transhumanist Elements ==

Being titled "Death Race" the movie is obviously [[deathism|deathist]] in its premise. It also uses [[Overpopulation]] as it's main story plot point. But, with that being said, there are still some [[transhumanism]] elements in the film including:

*It is stated that the population has been radiated against cancer. (not sure how THAT works, but there you go).
*A woman who appears to be in her 60's or 70's says she is 115 years old, so perhaps there is some [[Longevity]] element at play too. (There are still people who look what we would currently consider "old" too, so not sure HOW old those old people actually are).
*[[VR]] which is used as part of the viewing experience.
*One of the cars is made self-driving using an [[AI]] called ABE which knows the rules of the Death Race.
*There is also talk of [[AI]] taking over jobs, the commentator/host of the Death Race states (paraphrasing) that; "It's technology like this that has relieved 99% of Americans from the burden of employment.

Some of the characters are also the by-product of transhumanist technologies such as:

*Frankenstein, A man who is essentially a [[Cyborg]] and is described as such.
*Jed Perfectus, who is said to be genetically engineered.

== Criticism ==

Aside from being [[Deathism|deathist]], the movie is pretty poor in both plot and quality. IMDB scores the movie at a measly 3.2 out of 10.<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5493706/ IMDB]</ref>

"There may be further transhumanist, [[futurist]] and/or longevity elements in the movie, but 10 minutes is enough viewing of this film."
