I'm a real science-fiction person, have been reading it since I learned to read some 70 years ago now. I am constantly disappointed by TV shows or movies that are supposed to be science fiction, but really aren't. I think the problem is that they are made by people who know how to make TV shows and movies, but have never read a real science fiction book in their lives.

For my money, the very best s-f movie is "Twelve Monkeys." Wow.

Yesterday I read a rant on-line about so many s-f movies being so terrible. I thought I remembered the site I saw it on, but apparently not, because I can no longer find it. However, if you feel like googling "rant on science fiction movies" you will find lots of material.

My bona fides are that I have been known to write a little science fiction, have had a handful of stories published, and I'm currently editing an anthology.
