I eagerly yearn for more of the sci-fi thinking man's blockbuster. Matrix is by far the best example, and it's a shame not much has come in the way of challenging that title. Minority Report (also great) is the last time I can remember a sci-fi blockbuster tried to be philosophical in some form.
And before anyone brings it up, I know District 9 is highly praised here, but honestly it was a fresh movie that didn't much in the way of pushing the envelope (storywise). It's good, and the success helps the genre in the right direction. But I'd still prefer a film that fires on all fronts.
I wouldn't really consider District 9 all that much of a 'blockbuster' anyway.
