5 things that Star Wars, Star Trek and Terminator have in common:

• Dystopian
• Sci-fi
• violence
• control/taking over of technology
• All franchise films. A franchise film is the original and the sequels after 

Iconic Soundtracks -> identifiable/familiar/major franchise 

Dystopian -> sci-fi/action

Same Director -> J.J Abrams - specialises/style ->lens flares 

Sequels -> continue narrative -> characters - consequences and cause and effect

All reboots -> remade -> new storyline and character cast -> reimagined the original 

All directed towards a male audience -> old and new fans 

Hollywood/franchise (products) -> recycling old ideas -> running out of original ideas 

A pre-existing loyal fan based = money 

Conclusion

Hollywood has no new ideas, but instead recycles existing films and ideas. They know this way that they will make money and a profit, they will attract the old audience and the new generation. Ideas and films have to be rebooted due to internet piracy.
