TODO – take better notes when I next re-watch this.

A time traveling agent chases after a terrorist bomber.
A very good movie, notable for its unique handling of issues in time travelling.

Leftovers from a previous movie come back to haunt The Avengers, who tear themselves apart because they lack conflict resolution skills.
Another superzero movie. Only good if you’re not just into this genre, but into this series. Other movies set in this universe must be watched to appreciate some of this one.
Properly titled Captain America: Civil War

An alien invasion begins with horrifying disasters but peters out into a lengthy siege wherein an unlikely girl struggles to survive.
Yawn.
See Falling Skies – (2011 show). No really, just go see that. It’s not that great either, though.

A privileged white nerd-boy never got his patriarchy membership card, so he sets up the most powerful being on earth by using astonishingly advanced alien technology because astonishingly advanced alien technology isn’t good enough and he has to take down competitive patriarchy because something about good and god and evil and stuff.
This movie makes no fucking sense on so many levels, I may as well give it that fuckmenazi description. Characters don’t make sense. Motivations don’t make sense. Lots of action that didn’t need to happen, or happened in the wrong way.
A character that gets whipped up out of nowhere, who only the comic book nerds will vaguely recognize.. and not even understand. Does anyone think all the little comic book nerd boys always wanted to be a woman-superhero? Uh, no. So not popular. So having no explanation, she was dropped in as a deus ex machina. A hot awesome one, but terribly-written and disruptive.
Furthermore, the appearance of The Flash (who I had to look up), made no fucking sense whatsoever. It wasn’t even a deus ex machina, it was entirely unnecessary and confusing fluff.
Yet another bland superhero movie.
Yes, it’s properly titled Batman v Superman, because American theatre-goers know neither “versus” nor “vs.”.

A plague hits New York and then the world, and New York operatives are activated to do stuff and things.
Not bad for a short-ish film. There are some characters who do stuff, and there is some plot-like activity. Recommended for fans of what I call the “ruined world” genre.

Meteors fall to earth, one of which survives and is seen to house a living creature by a local yokel.
Meh. For science fiction it’s barely okay, and as an actual movie it’s less than that. Good enough to recommend to bored half-fans of science fiction who want less science and more fiction.

A non-superhero girl is out for revenge, boring the audience to tears.
It has Samuel, but not enough of him to make this a watchable film.

A pair of semi-friends get entangled in parallel universes.
Mild British humour. Does not have anywhere near the intellectual weight of actual science fiction. Bubblegum British.
Though I watched the entire thing through, I didn’t really like it. Not recommended for anyone who isn’t a serious fan of British humour enough to be okay with a really weak version of it.

Escaping the magic realm, a wizard goes to Melbourn Australia to try to live a normal life, but the magical inhabitants from his realm hop on a bandwagon to join him, and end up ruining everything.
Good fun. Not too great, not too funny, but light entertainment. It’s not quite bubblegum. Most especially recommended for fans of fantasy fiction, and even more so for those familiar with the Australian flavour of comedy.
This was released as three television episodes, and later released as six parts on YouTube.

Having discovered an interplanetary teleporter, humans bumble around by sending teams through to other worlds.
Pretty good. It’s definitely got the “TV series” feel to it, which explains how many seasons there are.
See Stargate viewing order. This series follows from Stargate – (1994 movie)
The stylized “A” in the title (with the middle bar missing and the circle over it) is a reference to that symbol representing the Earth when programming a stargate.
