People are interviewed about a major new scientific discovery.

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.

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.

Following the drama of several relationships, especially a serial-dater.

Understated but riveting; recommended. I wonder if there's a decent quality copy out there.

  • Trailer
  • Inappropriately-rated, this doesn't have much of anything close to R-rated, and what came close could have been adjusted slightly without changing anything. It's odd they didn't lean into that R-rating.

Time crystals allow a bumbling white male to go back in time, and he uses it to gamble, date a gold digger, and seek revenge on big pharma.

Painfully mid.

Humanity has been infected by nanobots controlled by an AI that ends violence, which, although about as horrifying as it sounds, many people want it and some even work for it.

Slow and halting, but with a good premise. It leans heavily into acting, which isn't at the level needed to make this shine. Still, it's not a turd.

This would have made for an excellent pilot episode.
