The last SF or fantasy movie I've liked was, I believe, Interstellar. Everything since has either been a superhero movie, Star Wars (please make it stop), or a massive flop. Actually, Bumblebee was pretty entertaining now that I remember.

The TV has kinda become the new medium for SF/fantasy, but it too has started to become flooded with superhero shows, superhero deconstruction and more Star Wars.

You didn't like The Martian and Blade Runner 2049? Not exactly mid-budget movies but one is a well-made popcorn-flick while the other is the highly improbably well-made sequel to a 40 year old cult classic. The amount of non-superhero Sci-Fi in the theaters at the moment is a bit of the low side for me but there has been significant, good movies since 2014 and Interstellar.

I completely forgot about Blade Runner, but I loved it.

yea interstellar would be my top movie pick if i was stuck on a desert island that also had a working dvd player

what about under the skin? edge of tomorrow? ex machina? arrival? bladerunner 2049? tenet?

but maybe you mean that they were flops, ie not huge box office hits, or that you didn't enjoy them

I didn't like Tenet at all.

Under the skin and edge of tomorrow were pre-Interstellar.
