Why are futuristic movies dystopian? The need for solarpunk

We've all been there, trying to find a movie "everyone" wants to watch and the genre typically falls to sci-fi/futuristic/action movies but oh my god how grim are they? Is dystopia really our only vision of the future? Because I just get sad watching these movies as there's far too many parallels to our current world without hope - except for the super rich of course, and our "chosen one". Where's the community? Where's the hope? That's where solarpunk can step in
