Hmmm I'd say after the dotcom bust somewhere in the mid 2000s. That's when new fangled ideas, crazy dreams started getting replaced by making money. Interesting curious what-if sci-fi movies got replaced by sequels, prequels, franchises and CGI. Yes it's partially growing older on my part, it takes more effort to surprise me now. But I also feel there has been a shift. The good news is everything has a cycle so I'm sure we'll eventually break out of the current rut and get some more excitement into science and sci-fi at some point
