A twelve year old kid is kidnapped by an alien research drone, who experiments on him by stuffing him full of knowledge, and although his brain ends up “leaking”, he is the drone’s only chance to get back home after hitting some power lines and getting shocked.

Though there aren’t many kid-friendly science fiction movies out there, this is easily the best among them. Even ignoring its “present day” time, it’s beginning to show its age. The fact that its “present day” is 1986 will inevitably be its biggest hurdle to accessibility to today’s young. This movie is definitely worth a remake every fifteen years or less.

Shortwave - (2016 movie) poster

A grieving woman goes insane after her child is kidnapped.

A horror. It’s a horror. It’s a slow plodding drama that eventually gets around to a very light mystery and then a horror. A bad one.

The vanguard of an alien race fleeing from their ageing star contest control of the earth and the survivors of humanity.

A bit stiff, but quite good.

  • I have not seen (listened-to) the Russian-language version.

The artificial intelligence of an alien craft decides that humanity’s reaction to a previous encounter is a threat to be suppressed.

It’s a CGI-heavy drama that kinda gets going half way through. It’s ultimately boring as hell.

A military guy with no memory awakens to a world invaded by machines.

A low-effort confusing movie with no real story arc or resolution. Not recommended.

An adequate movie; I liked it.

An accidental filmographer gets tangled in on an alien visitation which appears to have been ongoing.

It’s quite nice (but not great) for some time, but it’s ending is a huge flop. Hell, it keeps going and shifts into some sort of Disney style..

A fan edit of Star Wars – The Last Jedi – (2017 movie). It’s actually quite good, though its ending is incomplete.

Supergirl is super, and something about the last of the fleet that isn’t the last, and shit characters and shit writing.

The earlier movies are mandatory for this. If you thought the earlier movies were shit, then this is the nail in the coffin. Just let the franchise die.

  • Properly titled Episode VIII – The Last Jedi

This goes back in time to the original finding of the stargate, and stars a character we all know lives and so cannot be in any danger at all ever.

This just comes across like short-episode fan fiction.
