I have lamented the slow decline of science fiction for years. Most of movie science fiction recently has been focused on wars with evil aliens, post-apocalyptic nightmares and global disasters. While I can actually enjoy 2 out of 3 of those genres occasionally, I miss the more well developed sci-fi movies that had interesting characters and alien or futuristic societies and cultures that had some depth. TV sci-fi, as the article notes, has also devolved into more magic and fantasy than true sci-fi.
