People are interviewed about a major new scientific discovery.

This documentary-style sure doesn’t get to the point.

Shatner hallucinates about Spok.

A nothing of a short movie.

Two low-budget filmmakers take on the story of a supposedly-abducted child who was returned a cripple.

It’s quite good as a drama but ultimately unsatisfying as anything else. The final strides of it do not work.

A heavily-modified World of Warcraft 3.3.5 private server which removes the concept of classes, allowing the player to pick-and-choose abilities to create their own unique character. Another server has a random selection-and-choice concept which is very fun.

Has various challenge modes and the ability to rework a character back to level one for a reward.

While lacking some bits and pieces of convenience, it’s really quite good. Has some expensive pay-to-win. It’s ultimately not good because it has bonus experience available to all the players so there’s no actual authentic world, it’s just a bunch of overpowered characters smashing through everything; fail. Or play it single-player if you’d like..

Something about multiple AI personalities taking over a human.

Meh.

  • Trailer
  • IMDB has a rating of 16+ which to my knowledge isn’t a thing.

A dying woman does drugs and hallucinates that she’s a time traveller.

A tight time-loop movie that’s slow and mediocre.

  • Trailer
  • Not actually science fiction
  • Not actually a comedy

A psychiatrist’s world is turned upside-down when his patients join a global trend of suicide and violence.

Moody and with great acting. This is definitely strange, especially because of its torturously patient story arc. I can’t recommend this for everyone because it’s more weird-drama than science fiction. It’s one of those “watch once” movies.

Robots go mental and investigators try to figure it out.

Great world building, but everything is monotone and it goes totally crazy most of the way through. It would have been better if it stayed grounded in its initial location as the world-building was great there. Ultimately disappointing.
