Joker Rising on YouTube (full movie)
The birth of a villain, this movie follows the man before the Joker.
A slow and moody film, it manages to be extraordinary.

A murderer is saved from death only to be used in an experiment to explore his ancestry.
It's an awkward combination of slowness with action. I suspect it could have been quite good, as it has the elements for it.. but the writing is shit in enough significant places that it can't recover. It has an abysmal resolution, making the whole experience regrettable.

A S.E.T.I. operator discovers a signal and uncovers a plot to stop his investigation.
An absolutely fantastic movie.

In a world ruined by an alien invasion and terraforming, an ex-military turned scavenger and his alien adopted daughter take refuge in one of the few reasonable settlements: Defiance.
Although it has elements I like, it doesn't have anything that actually grabs me. In a world where there is so much else of better quality, this is not recommended. There are a couple of characters who are really well acted, but again.. it's not worth the trouble.

A buddy cop show with an android, set in the near future.
So far it's great all around, especially the acting.

A series of unrelated voiceless-shorts, sort of sometimes stitched together with the theme of robots.
Fairly terrible. It comes across as a set of student efforts. I wouldn't have been impressed even then.

See also The Animatrix - (2003 movie), sort of.

A pretty princess turned-warrior leaves paradise to hunt the god of war during World War II.
It's got a slow pace, good mood and is not your usual superhero flick. The pretty girl really makes this movie, even making up for the ugly male lead.

Lost in space, a member of a misfit band of space-mercenaries is found by his father.
Another boring semi-superhero movie. I expect this will be mildly entertaining for people who really liked the earlier one.
In an odd way, see also Dark City - (1998 movie) and Watchmen - (2009 movie).
 It really was in theaters. I went back to see it.

Two interns and a lovesick magazine reporter follow up on a crazy old classified ad requesting a partner for time travel.
It's not exactly a time-travel movie, science fiction, a comedy or a romance or a romantic comedy, but it does have a light dusting of everything. It's "okay".
