How come all the recent sci fi flicks written by women are all the same?

Because Hunger Games made the genre succesfull.

are they supposed to be soldiers?
Because they sell. It's not a risk for a studio to release yet another Hunger Games-esque flick.
Also, women can't write themselves out of a cardboard box. The post apocalyptic and scifi setting is just a backdrop for a dime in a dozen romance story.
blah blah blah multiple factions, blah blah oppressive government, blah blah uprising of impoverished citizen, strong females, blah blah potential love interest, death and destruction all around
What else?

It's like it's some kind of magic movie making formula that continuously rakes in cash with minimal effort!

What the fuck? How is he not directing big-boy studio thrillers and dramas instead of bullshit like this?
Anne McCaffrey would like a word...
Is this based on a book series? I assume it must be, but the trailer looks like one of those stereotypical boardroom meetings people talk about took place and they just decided to brainstorm the next YA-dystopia story.
>Characters are all teenagers so our audience can relate to them!
>Alien invasion, because everyone likes those.
>Giant natural disasters, those are always a big box office draw!
>Plagues, you know, kind of like The Walking Dead or some shit.
>The aliens look like us! Saves on special effects and can be used to add cheap suspense!
>ROMANCE!
Admittedly the romance barely gets a mention in the trailer, but you know it's going to be in there.
Also if the aliens have already destroyed most cities, brought down all the governments and wiped out most of the population of the Earth (why isn't everyone dead already from this 'unstoppable airborne virus'?) it just sounds like they've won already.

Once this book started with the time travel manipulation I put it down and never picked it back up, pleb or no pleb I couldn't put up with it.
