If you dare to make a film that immerses itself into a version of Earth’s future, a science fiction cake to which all will chow down upon and take delight in every ingredient, then it could be argued that what is needed is to make the characters as relatable to our current perception of life or at least incorporate that future vision as an understanding of what we fear, what will be the point of impact in which we as a species will no doubt either lose and become meaningless, or rise up, renewed, buoyed by narrowly avoiding the apocalyptic disaster.

You cannot blame a film studio for keeping a franchise going when it remarkably continues to have fans clamouring, almost chomping at the bit to revel in its storylines and desiring to learn more about the possibilities of other worlds. You cannot fault business for delivering what the public wants, it is when the film studio brings to the screen the unexpected that is when you have to praise them for their sense of direction, for the understanding that when you have a formula that works, you don’t let it fade, you don’t let it become stale.
