Obviously with Science fiction you can't expect total scientific accuracy. Although they seem continuously set their stories to near in the future. This doesn't really apply to more outlandish Sci-fi (Star wars, Riddick, etc...) although all the movies from the 80's liked to set their plots in like 2013 or something cause I guess they thought that was far in the future. I think one original Star trek episode predicted "primitive" interstellar flight by the 1990's.
And more recent movies like "Solaris" and "Event Horizon" have massive, complex spacecraft being built 30-40 years from now.
Do you think people expect to much or what?
