These contradictions seem to us due to the incompatibility between the presumed infinite innovations and finite resources of our planet. In spite of the infinite opportunities which technological innovations promise us, these narratives demonstrate their limits and their risks. These science fiction movies act as a real warning system, revealing the possible poisonous consequences of some technological innovation trends that could be fatal for humanity and its environment.}}
