A series of unrelated voiceless-shorts, sort of sometimes stitched together with the theme of robots.
Fairly terrible. It comes across as a set of student efforts. I wouldn't have been impressed even then.
See also The Animatrix - (2003 movie), sort of.
 Missing: Bulletproof shield

A pretty princess turned-warrior leaves paradise to hunt the god of war during World War II.
It's got a slow pace, good mood and is not your usual superhero flick. The pretty girl really makes this movie, even making up for the ugly male lead.

Lost in space, a member of a misfit band of space-mercenaries is found by his father.
Another boring semi-superhero movie. I expect this will be mildly entertaining for people who really liked the earlier one.
In an odd way, see also Dark City - (1998 movie) and Watchmen - (2009 movie).
 It really was in theaters. I went back to see it.

Two interns and a lovesick magazine reporter follow up on a crazy old classified ad requesting a partner for time travel.
It's not exactly a time-travel movie, science fiction, a comedy or a romance or a romantic comedy, but it does have a light dusting of everything. It's "okay".
Based on a joke published as a classified advertisement in Backwoods Home - (1997 magazine), by John Silveira
 Coming right now.

A broken man, having done the hokey pokey as an assassin, is forced back in. Again.
Adequate. It borrows from feelings and elements of other movies, and does a mediocre job of entertaining.
Continues from John Wick - (2014 movie)

Thrust back into a life he thought he exited, a contract killer vows revenge for the brutal slaying of.. his dog.
An adequate movie.

An investigative reporter, most recently working on criminal drug stories, gets a lead that takes him down a rabbit hole few knew existed.
A fair movie at best, which I can only recommend for people of the mindset with interest in the United States' government's involvement in Bad Things.
Based on Kill the Messenger - (2006 book), by Gary Webb

A writer visiting contemporary Paris is repeatedly transported to 1920s Paris.
This has been described as a romantic comedy, but there is neither romance nor comedy to be found. It's dry and drags its feet.

A special agent combat-cyborg pursues a cyber criminal who comes to have a special interest in her.
Although I like it, I suspect it's because I like the original so much and I can't be unbiased. I also think Scarlett is hot.
I became even more interested in seeing this movie in light of the incorrectly-supposed-whitewashing of the lead character. Antisocial injustice is actually pretty good at recommending things.
Remade from the animated movie Ghost In The Shell - (1995 movie)

Aliens arrive, but nobody knows the first thing about talking to them.
This is another movie whose description would spoil it. With a rather mellow and thoughtful tone throughout, it pulls the viewer in. I think it will hold up well over time, too.
