A drug addict is swept up into extremely high stakes modelling.

The constant time travel is annoying as fuck, but it’s a requirement for it. I don’t like that part of things, but it’s otherwise quite good.

Aliens arrive with human ambassadors, who struggle with a decision to return or stay.

This movie has a poor tone and struggles with abandonment and mortality; it’s generally depressing. Not recommended, especially if you liked the first movie.

  • Inappropriately rated: PG-13 but with suicide.

It’s kinda neat, but reminiscent of old DOS games; not good enough.

A Beauty and the Beast story about a warrior poet man who feels unworthy of love because of his appearance.

It’s absolutely no comparison to Cyrano de Bergerac – (1950 movie), so much so that I have to flag this as disliked!
