1. Hollywood tries to make movies that people want to see and which will thus make money. There are many people, myself included, who earnestly enjoy post apocalyptic movies. If them producing movies like that constitutes "conditioning" then ATS itself is a giant source of conditioning the masses for all manner of catastrophies.
"The tone is going to be very intense, very much keeping in mind the post-9/11 world that we're in. As Red Dawn scared the heck out of people in 1984, we feel that the world is kind of already filled with a lot of paranoia and unease, so why not scare the hell out of people again?"

the OP has a point.
While I do not think there is a Grand Conspiracy to desensitize the Public via films per se -- simply because the process to getting a movie 'green-lit' is so long and fraught with too many variables to control from inception to screen -- I do believe that there is a fatalist view of humanity's future that is expanding and being accepted as the norm for many reasons (books, films, msm, 'news', vid games, etc.)
I also think this is tragic as it creates, not only lowered expectations of our futures but, one could argue, becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

There are even more of these type of 'coincidences', I am prettty sure there are at least two threads around here outlining some of them, so I can understand why you're suspect.
But a couple movies referenced in those threads with far more suspicious 9/11 refs. etc. than what you have displayed above -- well, I personally know the people who wrote and/or directed a couple of them and believe me, they are not part of a 'conspiracy'. Having said that, I do believe in "Mass Reality' and that we are all in touch with each other and the future in some way.
To my mind this explains a lot more of these coincidences than the 'everybody's in on it', but that's just what I think based on my first and second hand experience. And I don't want to derail your thread with a bunch of metaphysical talk

Do they operate solely for the sake of propaganda and/or desensitizing the masses? absolutely not.
If they did, they'd be broke.
The point is, they can't all be about prepping us for our future.

Movies go through phases.
Remember Deep impact, Apocalypse, Independence day, Men in black, The X files movie etc.
All these movies came out around the same time, and have a similar theme; The world (USA)being threatened by something from space.
