Researchers of a small particle accelerator discover that a particle can be sent back in time, and they theorize that it can be used like a gun to kill people in the past and change the present.
While it’s a good idea, it feels pretty low effort.

A criminal takes the opportunity to impersonate a sheriff and continues to be a criminal.
It fundamentally makes no sense how the character can fragrantly break the law.

John Wick returns to alternately ruin and end his friends lives in the hopes of leveraging an obscure rule to free himself from .. whatever their assassins society is called.
It’s adequate, but has nowhere near equality: I think one unimportant woman dies on-screen and then the body vanishes, another gets hurt, and this has to be the most brutally misandrist movie I’ve ever seen. Feminist approved!

A father, faced with “equality”, is mistreated by family court and resorts to cross-dressing to get closer to his children by his overworking ex.
A great movie, full of great voicework and second-hand embarrassment.

2% of the global population disappears and everything continues on as usual probably.
Mediocre at best. Maybe something will happen later, but they sure as shit don’t get anywhere near to some point. It’s just a drama that stretches a premise.

In future with a colonized galaxy, a mad scientist develops an evolving quantum computer which he believes proves determinism and prediction of the collapse of civilization.
It started interesting, but dove into too many plotlines, timelines, and characters, and then space-wizards. I find it predictable and tedious, and I’m constantly nagged at there being zero good looking women, just passable persons of pigment hired for The Message.
Inspired by the Foundation series – (1942+ books), by Isaac Asimov

Some kids lose their home and parents and get passed around to different family members. And stuff.
Kinda annoying and boring.

A lawyer can’t lie, and goes insane because it’s Jim Carrey.
It’s Jim Carrey as himself, so you have to cope with the idiocy. It’s okay in that context but it’s not for me.

A hacker learns reality is not as it appears.
A sci-fi ripoff of elements of Lucid dreaming, with elements taken from the Neuromancer/Shadowrun “cyberpunk” genres.
A pioneering movie for special effects, which have held up quite well, and its general pot and atmosphere. Technically not original for science fiction fans, but great nonetheless.
One of my favourites, although I really wish the actor playing Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) was good looking.

A man with particular skills find himself among honest townsfolk gripped by criminals.
Simple and reasonably entertaining. Recommended especially for the people who like gritty low-tech spy-superhero movies.
Set in Italy, so there is some spoken Italian.
