Nothing could possibly go wrong in an amusement park populated by robots.

A good-ish movie, which must have been spectacular at the time because of its original themes and spectacular presentation. It holds up very well over the few centuries since its release.

The past returns to haunt a retired crime boss.

Quite watchable. I think it’s trivially surpassed by a lot of movies, but this has a reasonable simplicity without creating too much of a superhuman protagonist.

A break-up service has financial troubles caused by love itself.

On a re-watch all this time later, it’s really cringe and difficult to watch. If you’re into this sort of bubblegum “romance” then it’s a definite recommended.

I don’t know how to describe this without spoiling it.

It’s good because it’s pre-woke and can handle difficult topics.

Maybe in it’s time it was good, but I tuned out. I guess I’ll watch the rest of the series, but this comes off as forgettably-episodic. Recommended only for people who like the first one, and who would like a bubblegum version of the samey “safe” spy/crime movies.

  • Properly titled Mission: Impossible 2
  • stylized as M:I-2
  • Trailer
