I’d more argue Star Trek is a procedural cop show in space, but yeah pretty much. The last really good science fiction movie I saw was probably Arrival, and that was ten years ago.
Hail Mary Project is a great book, but they dumbed it down to a buddy comedy for the movie.
Andy Weir proved that there could be huge potential for actual science fiction, not whatever the fuck Star Wars or Star Trek is. Those franchises seem to appeal to people with no STEM education. It’s not hard to write plots that make no scientific sense.
