Two low-budget filmmakers take on the story of a supposedly-abducted child who was returned a cripple.

It's quite good as a drama but ultimately unsatisfying as anything else. The final strides of it do not work.

World of Warcraft >

https://ascension.gg/

A heavily-modified World of Warcraft 3.3.5 which removes the concept of classes, allowing the player to pick-and-choose abilities to create their own unique character. Another server has a random selection-and-choice concept which is very fun.

Has various challenge modes and the ability to rework a character back to level one for a reward.

While lacking some bits and pieces of convenience, it's really quite good. Has some expensive pay-to-win. It's ultimately not good because it has bonus experience available to all the players so there's no actual authentic world, it's just a bunch of overpowered characters smashing through everything; fail. Or play it single-player if you'd like..

Something about multiple AI personalities taking over a human.

Meh.

  • IMDB has a rating of 16+ which to my knowledge isn't a thing.

A dying woman does drugs and hallucinates that she's a time traveller.

A tight time-loop movie that's slow and mediocre.

  • Trailer
  • Not actually science fiction
  • Not actually a comedy

A classic ruined world utopic city movie.

It's fair. It's a basic young adult movie with some woke messaging and diversity casting in the old "rebel and save the world" template.

  • Trailer
  • Straight white Christian men are only bad guys.
