Not just movies. Sci-fi series also have a heavy tendency to base their stories in/on the US.
Like Stargate SG-1, filmed around Vancouver and considered an American-Canadian show while having Canada completely irrelevant. At least they got better with Stargate Atlantis and the international team. I consider Rodney McKay and Radek Zelenka heroes.
There is also Farscape that was filmed in Australia and is loosely international, as Crichton is an “international” astronaut but he’s still American.
The only sci-fi series that I know is taking place outside of the US is Continuum. Everything is revolving around Vancouver.
