Some mainstream options in case you haven't seen them:

The "Divergent" series, "The Maze Runner" series, and "The Giver" are interesting takes on dystopia (where it is made to look at first like a utopia [sans Maze Runner], but ends up being dystopic) that are more focused on storytelling and aim to instill a sense of empathy in the watcher. Maybe not up your alley since it's certainly not city in ruin, obvious post-apocalyptic from the onset, but I think the each one has its own brand of dystopia.
