The Andromeda Strain, The Omega Man, THX 1138, Silent Running, Solaris, Fantastic Planet, Soylent Green, Dark Star, The Terminal Man, A Boy and His Dog, Logan's Run, The Man Who Fell to Earth, Close Encounters of the Third Kind... just some of the films from that period -- hardly a desert. It was 2001 that really set the higher bar for science fiction cinema, but nobody tried to reach it for quite a while. Star Wars did spawn a host of imitators, none of which were as good and some of which were truly awful.
