I think there are serious SF films still being made; K-Pax, The Island, Equilibrium, Gatacca, Frequency, District 9, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Avalon etc.
How about Wall-E? I thought that was a great film (though my nephews hated it) - it had some serious ideas.
I'd also say the Matrix films are thought-provoking.
I watched '9' the other day and that was pretty good.
