A mad scientist comes to collect an animal experiment, but it is sentient and has friends.

Pretty good. I feel like I missed a couple of movies explaining what the hell was going on with some of it, but it’s still watchable.

A possible cure for the plague that has ruined the world could be brought from New York City to Atlanta, but for a powerful gang that stumbled upon the opportunity.

It’s not great, but it’s not bad. Definite bubblegum movie watching; put your brain on hold and enjoy it for what it was trying to me. I don’t regret the time I spent on this.

College students LARPing as revolutionaries set a hacker up, but he causes a shitstorm in an agent training prison.

This is pretty good. It’s essentially a Dutch revisitation of the concepts in the French movie La Femme Nikita – (1990 movie). It’s straightforward and so it seems fairly low budget.
