A mysterious message is detected by an astronaut, who learns its senders are on their way to Earth.

Something about a woman having played a video game and being in that world and being overpowered.
Kinda stiff.

An ugly, unaccomplished, student discovers a hidden world within which he becomes a hero and transforms himself in that and the real world.
It might be quite good, but because the main character is superpowered it’s a pretty shitty story angle; not recommended.

A quirky young woman crushes on a weird artsy guy.
This is quirkier than it’s characters, and is worthy of earning seventeen times its budget.

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.
