I think you'd be hard pressed to find any of it that is even remotely as fantasy as what passes for a "sci-fi movie" today.

Those old sci-fi magazine illustrations certainly weren't peak realism, but I nevertheless view them as part of a trend in rising realism that was abruptly cut short in the 90s, when "computers" and "nano technology" gave writers/artists an excuse to claim literally any magical bullshit was ackshully technology therefore sci-fi. See: webm related. Or nanomachines in the metal gear solid franchise (which is a product of the transition I'm talking about, containing both semi-plausible mecha and absurd magic horseshit.)
