What are some movies released less than 10 years ago that already feel dated? (piefed.social)

Glass Onion. There was a lot of pandemic humor. There's probably a bunch more that fit this category.

War of the Worlds (2025)

War of the worlds 2005 fits the bill too. Feels like it's from the 90s.

What makes you say that?

It strikes me as a quintessential post-9/11 movie, just like Independence Day's rah-rah, feel-good American exceptionalism feels intrinsically tied to the mid to late 90s. Dated, sure, but dated to the period of its release. However, I don't know if I've seen it since release, so perhaps I'm misremembering aspects.

Don't Look Up was dated the moment it was released. The most notable part was when a President was caught in a lie and her supporters immediately turned on her. We already had ample evidence that that wouldn't happen.

The movie would've been okay if it was released 10 years earlier, but by the time it came out we'd seen real-world situations that were similar enough to what it depicted that the movie became hopelessly tone-deaf.
