An comet’s path crosses the earth’s, and a shuttle crew is to rendezvous with it to plant nukes to divert its course.
With a decent story and good characters, the science proves, unfortunately, fundamentally flawed. It’s still a good watch and doesn’t show its age.

An evil scientist constructs a robot surrogate and transfers his consciousness into it to carry out his plans for global domination by kidnapping a very wealthy sheikh’s son.
A watchable moderate-budget movie which somehow still falls into an 80s-cheese style. It’s rare to find such a bold movie, even with it being unashamedly graphic to the point of dark comedy. I think that’s why I like it.
It’s worth watching once.

Upon hearing of his master’s death, a man returns to Shanghai amidst tensions from its Japanese occupation, and learns there was foul play.
Quite a good movie, with all the basic elements. There’s next to none of the B-movie cheese that’s pervasive of such films, so it’s good enough for everyday people.

During the thrashing of an epileptic seizure, an editor stitches together bits of various unrelated shorts into a single movie filled with famous people and great music.
If one can labour past the non science-fiction, it’s pretty good. In fact, I think if one cut out everything except two of the storylines, they would make for good shorts. I may do that one day.
I wouldn’t imagine this to have been a critical success.
Based on Cloud Atlas (2004 book), by David Mitchell

A scientist from the future goes back in time to do (stuff that I wasn’t paying attention enough to figure out), but his assistant’s daughter goes back to stop him with the help of one of the grandfather’s of time travel.
For an old TV-movie this is pretty good.
The actual movie is copyright 1986.

Newly-developed military nano-technology is stolen by terrorists in a plot to take over the world, and only a super-elite team chosen from the international best can stop them.
This movie is another example of both an astonishingly wide gap between its original audience and current audience, and a needless unimagination in original movie universe-building authorship.

In a world where everyone must take a daily suppressant to survive a deadly plague, one cop is put on the case of a string of murders targeting its researchers.
As usual, Christopher Lambert is a terrible actor. I just realized he’s another Keanu Reeves, where if you like the guy you’ll be just fine.. and you’ll also know how each of his characters will look and feel.
Kelly Brook is a work of art.
Released 2003-12-16

A girl learns she has magic powers and stuff when a bad guy and his henchmen who all like demons hunt her down for a thing she has.
A superhero-girl-witch movie. Adorable and stuff. Recommended for girls who are fans of this adorable trope genre.

A distracted surgeon crashes his car and is left with ruined hands, but he’s brought into a magic order who defend the planet and universe and stuff.
A decent movie, although fluffy and of narrow scope.
