In a futuristic Germany, a mute guy has relationship troubles.
An interesting world, but generally terrible writing.
Intended as a spiritual successor to Moon – (2009 movie), though I don’t see how.

As a commentary on Edward Snowden or WikiLeaks or some such, a list, that somehow exists, is out in the clear and being hunted by various spies.
It would have made a huge difference had this not been portrayed as a flashback/debriefing. Because of this complete failure in storytelling, there was no sense of risk at all; an important part of a spy movie like this.
Based on The Coldest City – (2012 comic), by Antony Johnston

Artificial intelligence is created, but they forgot to send a philosopher, so things go to shit somehow there are survivors.
It borrows from various other things, but doesn’t execute anything very well. It just comes off as being badly written. I should have guessed based on the production company’s amateur-night page.
See also Terminator Genisys – (2015 movie).

An asshole anchorman is sent to a little town to do a fluff story on Groundhog Day, but karma bites him in the ass when the town gets snowed-in.
A fantastic movie not just for the usual things, but for the execution of its idea. Unlike so many movies that have its elements, this one stays grounded and accessible. This movie is well-loved and highly recommended.
The writers and producers of 12꞉01 – (1993 movie) believe their work was plagiarized by this movie.

Survivors of an alien attack crash next to a prison and learn that the alien came with them.
This was my first movie with a shaved-headed woman. I guess I was all “oh no she di’int, now wesa gettin serioooos”.
In my mind, the franchise was significantly weakened by this movie. It just didn’t “feel right”. Perhaps the previous two were so good that they became too tough to follow, but after yet another re-watch this movie really just doesn’t seem all that good.
Alternately titled ALIEN3

A synthetic bounty hunter of synthetics learns of a plot for synthetic-synthesis. Or something.
Plodding and nervous. Another unnecessary remake.

A girl is digitized, becoming a valuable commodity for people seeking power and immortality.
This might be interesting for fans of science fiction history, but it’s dumb in too many places for me to enjoy it.
If you end up watching this, here are my edited Andromedia subtitles.

Waking from long hibernation, a woman claims to be the survivor of an alien attack from a planetoid which has since become a terraforming colony.
A direct descendent of Alien – (1979 movie), this movie not only builds on but improves on the movie, turning this into a blockbuster franchise.
