Students decide it’s a good idea to blindly pursue teleportation without watching some scifi first.
Really wonderful, moody, and well-acted. Great idea and writing; highly recommended.

An old man is surprised to learn has has 19 year old daughter, who becomes embroiled in a web of vengeance and violence set against him.
I really like this movie. It might play out as too flat for most people, but for me the character was well-crafted and acted.
Like few movies, this explores age and power at its extreme.

Humanity has been infected by nanobots controlled by an AI that ends violence, which, although about as horrifying as it sounds, many people want it and some even work for it.
Slow and halting, but with a good premise. It leans heavily into acting, which isn’t at the level needed to make this shine. Still, it’s not a turd.
This would have made for an excellent pilot episode.

A key survivor of a world destroyed by a plague is forced to save it. I think.
It’s generally slow and boring; luke warm at best, but recommended if you’re into this sort of thing.

Although survivors of a ruined world struggle to survive, many turn to evil and are subject to being hunted for a bounty.
Straightforward and fair. Weakly-recommended. Gina Carano has great physics.

An undergrad invents a brain-meddling machine, and discovers that meddling with his brain is a bad idea.
Calm, and focused wholly on the main character. I liked it.

A mild mannered professor is thought to be older than he appears.
It’s a little off in places, but has a nice consistent tone. Recommended only if you loved it’s earlier movie, The Man from Earth – (2007 movie).

A simple and amazing movie.
