Survivors of a ruined Earth cast away to a new Earth, aptly called "New Earth", but some people are stupid and prefer extinction (for that ship).

It had some potential, but it slid way way downhill.

Alien refugees come to Earth, only to become squatters and criminals while the world looks on. After 20 years, the local government tries to relocate them to better facilities only to discover alien technologies they had been salvaging and repairing.

A unique setting and good story. It's not a super-fantastic movie, but it's definitely highly recommended. It has a high "ick" factor.

A mad scientist comes to collect an animal experiment, but it is sentient and has friends.

A mediocre superhero movie, which in today's times makes it spectacular. Highly recommended as a bubblegum movie.

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.

  • Trailer
  • Inappropriately rated: PG-13 but with suicide.
