Hardly true.

It's just logical that in the century and half they've making movies not every good one would have been made in the last five years.
As for the current sci-fi boom unfortunately it's mostly driven by boredom with the familiar unlike previous spikes which were driven by people having their imaginations piqued by technological change.
H.G. Wells-industrialization.The 50s early 60s - nuclear. The 70s- space exploration. The 80s- computers. Very little good comes from being bored. Witness this forum for an example.
Movies in general also suffer because of familiarity caused by the internet and the World ever increasingly becoming a smaller place.
A film now really has to work to get a sense of place right whereas previous just setting a movie in Africa would give a sense of the totally alien.
Steel yourself for more bad news, Meg.

Chance of these twats turning out a film with a faction of the soul of the orginal, less than zero.
