Stories of people who regard augmenting their bodies as a way of life, whether for artistic reasons or out of pure vanity.
A movie about people who feel so trapped in their body they desperately want to control it. A community that’s basically a hugbox that shackles them together for encouragement.

Hitler is pulled into his future, and being able to do nothing but be himself, he is taken to be a comedian.
I know this is meant as a comedy, but.. it’s just off. It’s worth a watch, but just the one. It touches on quite a lot of .. well touchy subjects. Perhaps this movie will greatly improve in time, while things aren’t so sensitive.
Based on Look Who’s Back, (2012 book) by Timur Vermes

A dude goes places and does things, looking for some stuff I think. There are explosions and is smoking.
Noted here just for one of those “oh, I’ve seen that” references.
I don’t recall particularly liking or disliking it.

During World War II, a lucky Soviet soldier is fictionalized into a hero, but he truly earns that distinction only to find himself up against the German’s very best.
With a good pace and atmosphere, this movie is riveting.
Based on Enemy at the Gates: The Battle for Stalingrad (1973 book), by William Craig

A guy who builds the technology to turn dirt into water goes to Mars, and even though he knows the ship better than anyone else, somehow, he has trouble on the way.
A patient, somewhat interesting movie. Worth watching if you’re into such things, but definitely not if you’re new to this style.
I watched the whole thing, and don’t really regret it, but I wouldn’t categorize this as anywhere near awesome.

A dude begins his career as a night manager for some place somewhere but gets used by British intelligence to act against an arms dealer.
Fairly decent, but I suspect it’s only because this is another show with a British accent being thrown around carelessly.
Based on The Night Manager (1993 book), by John le Carré

In a world where video game characters are alive, a lonely bad guy tries to earn appreciation but ends up threatens ruin.
A fun movie, most appropriate for the nostalgia fans of various old arcade games. It goes very very old, like Pixels – (2015 movie), which puts it in a particularly odd space. I think this one ends up being childish and unique enough that its various reference aren’t in the way of an actual proper movie.

A mercenary group is sent to an island for training exercises, only to learn that it was being used to train military robots.
Although pretty stiff because of the lead character, this is a decent enough movie. Worth watching for science fiction fans, but not for military movie fans.

Twenty years after the near-annihilation of Earth, aliens return.
Not a particularly good movie. Definitely not worth a watch for science fiction movie fans. I don’t know who the target audience is supposed to be. There’s no character development, poor drama, uninspired action, un-notable writing.. so un-notable that I made a word up. Screw you, red squiggle.. I defy you.
Properly titled Independence Day: Resurgence

The last remaining city in a ruined world learns it has an oversight committee funding a research project overseeing them.
An adequate movie, filled with no character development, an uninteresting world and a mediocre plot. Good for a watch for people who like the earlier movies in this series, or people too young and dumb to know what a good movie actually is.
