I do think that the realm of experimental particle physics and astrophysics have sort of fallen behind the theory. It will take some new technology or breakthrough I think before we see more big strides in these fundamental areas.

As eigenspace pointed out though there is still a lot of good physics in more applied (or at least less fundamental domains). There are still a LOT of physicsal phenomena we don't understand fully that doesn't require a new fundamental theory of everything to make progress.
