There is actually an expectation that any movie that happens in the future to be a SciFi one. I we _do_ expect some sort of change from today. Either mad max style, terminator style or expanse style other more positive ones, you name it. But would be quite unexpected to make a movie, set to 2094 and everything looks the same. We just know, as a civilization, that something changes.

But I expect in 2094 we still live in the same houses, work on the land, enjoy sun and the sea, maybe still employed, but some change will be happening.

It would make an interesting plot point - like the main characters discovering the no-development stasis is artificially maintained. Or alternatively that there is an illusion of progress, yen thing never actually change for some reason.
