There are far too many futurist/space movies out there. Its a completely worn-out category.
Did’ja see that movie called “ASS”? It was funny!! (I like money.)
I think just the very limited subset of sci-fi that Hollywood has backed is burned out. There is about a hundred years of material they could choose from, that would be very fresh as movie content, but so far it has been relegated to smaller scale, indy-type movies.

No, there are far too many BAD movies that try to substitute stunning visual effects for a good story and solid acting. . .
It is about—what it is always about—Script—script—script! Its about the story—not the actors, not the special effects—the plot rules the film. If its too complex or too preachy its going down in flames. Look at American Sniper—it walked the tightrope and was a hit. A well written cheap film will beat out a poor megabuck blockbuster—with no heart. A film got to have heart—miles and miles of heart (as the old song goes). People miss this—what the old studio moguls knew in their gut.
People will turn out in droves for a well written good film (look at Harry Potter or Twilight films). Hey, out in Hollywood land -— look at the script before you spend a cent for a film! In truth you must give the people what they want to see! Do it and you can make millions.
