The creators of a show or movie really want to demonstrate that we are in a highly advanced future setting. This usually involves some futuristic furniture, holographic displays and, surprisingly often, really weird door designs. Doors and hatches tend to be pretty boring objects in Real Life. They are usually rectangular, flat and have only one or two moving parts, mostly because this is the most simple and efficient design. In the minds of many set designers, future doors are different. This may include: |

Doors in Batman: Arkham Asylum are massive steel slabs with body scanners and several locks and slide open either very fast or incredibly slow. Justified since they are designed to keep the worst psychopaths from escaping the asylum, but it's not like they actually work. | |

Descent has a normal door design, but an occasional one with four corner panels that retract into walls. Descent 2 includes door panels that converge from all directions even more than a regular iris door. Descent 3 has a variety of doors, some of which take time to open due to their closure mechanism. In all games, shooting doors causes them to open (unless locked). | |

Rainbow Six and its sequel, Rogue Spear, feature automatic sliding doors of various types in levels set in laboratories or high-tech facilities: Mission 7: Operation Fire Walk—the doors in the high-security section of the bio lab slide open with a clean whoosh. Mission 16: Operation Mystic Tiger—the Horizon Ark features two types of sliding doors, both hexagonal. The smaller, man-sized black version splits in two and opens quickly. The huge off-white ones slide slowly apart in three directions with lots of noisy clanking and clattering. In Rogue Spear, Mission 9: Operation Diamond Edge (set in a Russian military base) and Mission 18: Operation Zero Gambit (set in a Ukranian nuclear powerplant) both feature huge vehicle-sized double doors that slide slowly open with the same noisy clattering sound as the gray doors from the Horizon Ark in the previous game. |

Becomes apparent in Doom 2016's SnapMap Mode where you can choose the type of door connecting two rooms, such as ascending vertically, splitting in two, splitting in four and more, but none that actually swing to the side via a hinge and opened with a handle. This may be a Mythology Gag, as the original IdTech Game Engine that powered the original Doom and its sequel was incapable of making doors swing open any other way. (They'd figured out how to do it by the time Hexen came out a couple of years later.) | |

These Are the Damned. Juvenile delinquent King is a bit freaked out at the sensor-activated automatic door used to enter the secret underground facility where the children are kept. The children can open it by waving a hand across a sensor, but he can't; plus the door won't open from the inside. This turns out to be plot-significant. | |

Futurama In "Space Pilot 3000", Fry stares in awe of the automatic sliding doors that slide up. However, he's doing so directly under the door, so just as he says "Wow, just like in Star Trek" the door closes down on him. Then mere moments later, he goes through another door and looks up, expecting the door to come down again. Only this time, it closes on him from the side. The doors to the bridge of the Planet Express ship from Futurama even work differently each time they're shown. Some doors even have two sound effects. A sound effect that you would normally expect from that type of door, and the Star Trek sound effect. |

Both MDK games feature unusual doors, that fold themseves like origami. The most prominent example would be the folding "fan" door in vertical shafts in the first level of the second game. Since it was made by Bioware it kind of serves as a foreshadowing of the previously listed Mass Effect example. | |

SeaQuest DSV: Played very straight, with lots of different doors and hatches. Going red alert on the SeaQuest includes closing all kinds of hatches, so they show this off a lot. Justified Trope (somewhat) in that the creators took steps to try and make SeaQuest appear as practical as possible. While contemporary subs of the time (1993) had fairly standard doors throughout, their prediction of the future (...of 2014) was that subs would be much more developed than they actually were over the years. |

Get Smart Parodied in the Title Sequence where the bumbling hero enters (and in the credits, leaves) CONTROL's underground headquarters through a veritable gauntlet of automatic sliding or swinging doors. Hilarity Ensues. In The Nude Bomb the entrance to the supervillain's mountain lair was a giant zipper. When Max sees it start to open, he says to (female) Agent 22, "Close your eyes, we don't know what's coming out of that thing!" In Control headquarters there's also a door disguised as the wall next to the door, as part of the Running Gag of spy gadgets. |

Doctor Who: In every season bar one of the classic series, the inner doors of the TARDIS are massive and power-operated, with hexagonal edges on the hinge side. In "The War Games", the aliens' security chief has a door of the 'converging from all directions' design. The top part is deliberately made to resemble a guillotine blade. The aliens' space/time machines also have noisy powered doors, and it's strongly implied that the same is true of TARDISes in their default form. In the same story, some TARDISes are shown as featureless boxes with doors that actually slide outwards - like a gull-wing door that stays parallel to the surface it's projecting from. |

Blake's 7 uses the downward-descending door version so that Gan can do a Heroic Sacrifice holding it up long enough for the others to pass beneath it in "Pressure Point". In "Orac", a rotating tube elevator rises from the sand to take the protagonists to an underground bunker. The entrance to Xenon Base in Season D involves a pair of revolving triangular doors. | |

The X-Naut fortress in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It's on the moon. The doors require passwords and keys, and make a "swish" sound upon opening. | |

All doors in The Persistence are suitably science-fictional, either being totally automatic or automatic to those accepted by their retinal scanner. You only need to physically move malfunctioning doors that can randomly close in your face. | |

In Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse, the doors on General Skun-ka'pe's ship slide in a different direction every time they open or close. For example, the first time, a door will slide to the right to open and then come up from the bottom to close. The next time, the door could open by sliding up and close from the left. Apparently, his ship, like everything in the game, runs on the Rule of Funny. | |

ElfQuest has a variation: the exterior "door" to Blue Mountain is solid rock until the elf named Door is commanded to make an opening in it telekinetically. | |

All facilities in the multi-fandom Game Over series have metal doors that part down the middle and slide open and shut with a hydralic hiss. However, they are rectangular at least. | |

Averted, in contrast to the game, in Mass Effect: Interregnum - regular hinged doors are mentioned several times. Being set mostly in run down and poor areas, however, this is justified. | |

Babylon 5: Many doors on the station (mostly to living quarters) are automatic, pentagon-ish and hinged at the top to rotate out of the way. The Observation Dome and Medlab doors slide horizontal to Centrifugal Gravity (though for whatever reason, the seal between Medlab doors is diagonal to this). However it is subverted on Earth where they have perfectly ordinary wooden hinged doors in most buildings. It would appear that the station needs doors that can be sealed in the event of a hull breach, which is not a problem on Earth. On Z'ha'dum, the automatic doors open with the standard door noise. The shadows tried sneaking up on Sheridan by having the door open quietly, but Sheridan wasn't caught off guard. |

Doors in Metroid are opened by firing energy weapons at them, are circular, and come in many, many component parts that open separately, or look like a bubble. Most often the doors seen are on planets once inhabited by Chozo, like Zebes, which are now occupied by space pirates. Usually, they're unlocked using weapons the space pirates do not possess. Galactic federation doors, to confuse players, are simple automated doors. The games in the Metroid Prime Trilogy explain shoot-to-open doors as Samus' weapon deactivating a force field intended to keep critters out. | |

Hobbit doors are round in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. The parody The Soddit notes how Awesome, but Impractical such a door is, given that all the door's weight is on a single hinge, making it prone to drafts and jamming. | |
