The people of Detroit are being forcefully evicted and relocated to a corporate-owned city.
Unless you’re a serious fan, just give this a pass. It doesn’t really build on the franchise and it’s corny.

A new wave of tailor-made drugs sweeps over Detroit, whose even bigger problem is a corporate takeover of the city.
While interesting, it’s not ground-breaking like the first was.

While thinking about Soylent, some other things came to mind.
Products are labelled with this notion of “daily requirements”, but that’s an incomplete and possibly non-optimal paradigm. Similarly, the food groups and servings per day concept has the same perspective problem.
I think these are useful and valid concepts, but there are some other interesting things to think about.

They band together to save the planet from Galactus, a world-consuming alien.
Mediocre.
Properly titled Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
I gave up on this, as I’m no longer playing/testing Wildstar.

Two orphans become witch hunters.
This is not horror. It’s kindof a light action film. Quite good.
The style is medieval-meets-western. I’ve seen other movies which do this, and I like it quite a lot.
Unnecessarily foul language. It’s jarring.
Great effects, camera work and general atmosphere.
The name and some ideas are taken from Hansel and Gretel in Grimms’ Fairy Tales – (1812 book), by the Grimm brothers

A space-western-esque MMORPG whose most interesting elements are movement in combat and a light/comedic tone. Oh, and player housing for the girls.
Meh. Just meh. I gave this a good shot, but the gameplay and interface are just shit.
I got to level 10. TEN and gave up. It was quite fun until I did a dungeon. I was told to keep playing until I did one, and .. well.. it failed miserably.

Some notes on how I prepare and eat Soylent.
I haven’t experimented with Soylent flavouring for my own use.

A meal replacement beverage.
A hands-down spectacular idea and implementation. I ate Soylent for months, and have even eaten it both as a snack, then a meal, and then as my only food. Highly recommended, not just for diet or general health but for lifestyle.

A mortally-wounded cop is used as the foundation to build a police robot meant to be a tool for control but whose artificially-repressed memories and inerrant awesomeness surface to save the day.
This was a great movie in the day, and I’d bet I’m biased in saying it’s still great.
