Does Fiction Need to Become Less Fictional?

I'd like the movies (and tv) become less fictional. I'm actually a fan of sci fi, BUT:

I can't stand vampires, ghosts and family. I don't like hyperspace drivers, wormholes, drive-by time travels, light sabers, spells, fate architectures, prophecies, ones, ancient and powerful beings, much more complex DNAs, 10% brain usage overflow, sound in space and losing the orbit just because the engine doesn't work.

I don't like superheros that don't obbey basic physics laws and which powers come from some ridiculous explanation.

So yes, it seems I'm a "hard" sci fi fan and would love to se a movie or, better, a series that try to simply show 2065 as we really think it will be. Of course we'll be wrong anyway, but alas.

Space minery, first colonies, gravitational dimorphism, migration politics, robots... there are plenty of current tech that will be veeery interesting in 50 years.

Instead studios keep on showing year 3000 with societies almost identical to present or, much worse, past.

… deliberate or accidental irony?

Do literary critics feel like they have nothing to do...?

That's the only sane conclusion I seem able to come to from the article.

Betteridge's Law of Headlines holds up once again. The answer is emphatically "no".

Bah.
