Pretty much, the problem is Hollywood can only choose between "Make a good movie" or "Have a good message", when "Make an entertaining movie that deliver the message without being overly preachy" was always an option, gaming does it all the time. (Which is probably why Video Game Movies are such big money makers now)
PS: Waterworld is sadly the best movie you've listed here, TDAT is the second best.
One of the reasons I love Spec Ops: The Line. It’s marketed to the correct crowd. The exact type of person that needs to understand killing your way through a situation rarely works is the one who will see the cover and think “Aw cool, a shooting game about killing your way through an adventure”.
