The Tangle - (2019 movie) poster

Entertainment > Movies >

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5080046/

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.

A time traveler goes back for some reason I guess.

A weak comedy of some sort, but I'm unforgiving for the woke, so no thanks.

Following agents of a supercomputer.

It's incredibly dark, and I don't mean it's all moody and shit; it's so damned dim it's hard to make most things out.

Our dude uses every resource for revenge against the Harkonnen who murdered his family and people.

It would be watchable, even good, if it didn't have odd gaps in it. It's as though there is another movie whose cloth this was cut. I'm betting there is a super duper extended length version, because I feel there are missing scenes.

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.

Murder in Washington, D.C. - United States has been solved by precognition, except for one mysterious case.

I like it quite a bit!
