A warlord seeks to unleash the enemies of the gods to kill them.
While watchable, I would only recommend it to fans of the sword and sandal genre who can also stand the "quality" that Hollywood offers.

Driven by De Beers' manufactured value of diamonds, the story follows a robbery being investigated by police and an ugly insurance woman of some sort.
Maybe it gets better, but it's slow and boring. Maybe I needed to see an extended-length pilot episode. This has John Hurt, but that's not good enough for me. Maybe I should have given this more of a chance, but .. I'm not going to.
Has scenes spoken in the Serbian language, with English subtitles.
Once I re-watch this I'll add some more notes.

A crew of civilians investigates a distress beacon, but it turn out to be a warning that they were too late to heed.
Alien is another "first to get there" movie which has set the bar for its sub-genre.
It has a dirty old-but-futuristic look to it that really stretches its technological and budgetary limitations. As it turns out, this has given the movie incredible longevity. For a movie as old as this, it easily stands the test of time.

Rescued from an unknown realm, a demon, raised as a monster-hunting government agent, faces his destiny and the destruction of the world.
A rather good movie, because it features a relatable and mortal character. The time of its release was not saturated with this genre, so it was gave a strong impression. Even re-watching it was entertaining. I think this will hold up very well over time.
