It takes forever to get there. We know of no habitable exoplanet yet, so when you do get there, you still live in a tin can in orbit.
I'm not saying we'll never make it. I'm saying the magnitude of the effort is enormous. In a sense, Sart Trek and Star Wars have done a disservice to space exploration by making it seem so easy.
The scales of energy, time, and complexity involved are colossal.
