Do you notice this repeative problem with Sci-fi movies?

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?

Science movies ALWAYS get some of their facts wrong. For example, in star wars, there is no force you can harness. And in star trek, wormholes and faster-than light travel (without time dilation) almost certainly can't happen. And in Avatar (movie), mountains cannot float.
