A man wakes, reconstructed as a cyborg, and finds himself hunted by unknown forces.

A fucking astonishingly great movie! Fast, bloody and fun. It’s effortlessly hilarious, and without being a comedy.

I was initially rather annoyed at the found footage-style shaky camera, but it got so intuitive so fast that it really helped me get into the character and movie. If you like bloody non-stop action movies, definitely give this movie a chance.

Zombies ruin the world, and a lone gunman meets and helps survivors.

Plenty of action but there’s nothing interesting about the world or plot; fair at best.

Time Jumpers - (2018 movie) image

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8041916/

A compilation of short films of various topics, a couple of which feature time and jumping but none of which justify this title.

Some of these might have been padded out into a passable TV-movie, but nothing is really any good.

A boy with a chip on his shoulder learns a hard lesson only after years.

It’s fair, but it loses a lot of momentum by changing style multiple times throughout.

A previously-failed super-soldier program doesn’t actually get buried after all, and everyone regrets that when its maintainers try to take over.

It’s too heavy on the music, but it’s generally okay.

A fan edit of Star Wars – The Last Jedi – (2017 movie). It’s actually quite good, though its ending is incomplete.

Supergirl is super, and something about the last of the fleet that isn’t the last, and shit characters and shit writing.

The earlier movies are mandatory for this. If you thought the earlier movies were shit, then this is the nail in the coffin. Just let the franchise die.

  • Properly titled Episode VIII – The Last Jedi
