I am wondering if any other members remember a movie that presents a theme of prosperity and abundance for all of humanity, the other life forms and the earth?.
Only Star Trek really comes to mind. On TV originally but many movies were made too, so it counts.
This was my number one favourite show growing up, and remains so to this day. Its vision of the future was unlike anything ever seen before. I speak of classic Star Trek of course, meaning the original 60s TV series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and (for the most part) Enterprise. 'New' Trek, being JJ Abrams B-Universe, ST: Discovery, Strange New Worlds et al -- all garbage, because they stray most drastically from
Gene Roddenberry's original vision.
Like other classic and beloved franchises (eg Star Wars) Trek was 're-envisioned' for a 'modern audience' (it got co-opted). It became gritty, gloomy, depressing, and loaded with woke political messaging. That's why so many Trek fans have turned on it.
Failure isn't much of a deterrent though, they don't seem to care about quality any more, or authenticity, and certainly not about the fans ... All that matters is furthering their agenda. The loss of millions doesn't stop them either. They're still at it! destroying one IP after another, the latest being Indiana Jones 5, an absolute shambles of a film, and box office disaster!
