A miniseries told around the Soviet Chernobyl disaster.

A highly-virulent weaponized virus breaks containment and wreaks havoc.
It starts strong then goes downhill into some odd religious stuff. Generally terrible later on. Worth watching if you’re into this genre.

An optics specialist is sent to investigate the unusual readings the military is getting from his equipment.
A solid movie all around. Great action and a good world, but with enough fuzzy science and The A-Team-style jury-rigging to rivet it solidly to TV-movie quality.

A cop is saved from death but brought into a supernatural police department.
A fair movie. It has some fairly amusing moments but is overall an engaging bubblegum movie.

The story of the seven samurai .. I mean the 47 ronin I mean the 21 Sihks defending a fort.
It’s not too over-the-top Bollywood, so it’s a perfectly watchable “yay us” hero story.

A man’s son’s older self goes back in time to kidnap himself.
It’s not great or anything, but it’s obscure enough that I’m glad to have bought it.
