Fixation on hardware. "Videotape", "Robot", and "Cyborg" dominate. The fear of technology replacing humanity (Terminator, Robocop) runs deep in the data.
Pre-millennial tension. "Conspiracy", "Alien", and "Terrorism" rise. The world became smaller, and the threats became global and existential.
The death of originality. "Sequel", "Remake", and "Based on Novel" choke the top spots. Studios stop taking risks and start managing IP portfolios.

"Post-Apocalyptic", "Survival", and "Dystopia". We stopped dreaming of the future and started dreading it.
