People might want something from film that is not just a story, but what the story represents.

Example: the Star Trek series stays popular by showing that we have continuance and achievement, even though we maintain our foibles. We overcome and go on to great things, carrying our baggage along. We feel good about that, even though traffic still waits outside the theater.

As opposed to the Star Wars series, which people are finding a drag. Showing that all the tech and achievement advances us to nothing but constant oppression, war and death. And showing that no one in that galaxy can shoot. Pathetic.
