A rag-tag crew of space-smugglers becomes embroiled in a plot to capture one of its crew which expands into them going up against the whole of the multiplanetary alliance.

One of the best movies I've seen. It's concise, extraordinarily well-acted, looks great, and has a phenomenal story. I don't know that I'd recommend this for people who haven't seen Firefly - (2002 show), but for those who have seen and liked the series this film becomes mandatory viewing, though only after a long while after watching the series.

When an energy source wielding time itself is first tested, it's inventors (and staff) become shrouded in a quantum fog.

Creative and brilliantly executed!

A freelancing former U.S. Intelligence Agent tries to track down a mysterious package that is wanted by the Irish and the Russians.

Moody and consistently-good. Lots of car chases.

Following the drama of several relationships, especially a serial-dater.

Understated but riveting; recommended. I wonder if there's a decent quality copy out there.

Trailer
Inappropriately-rated, this doesn't have much of anything close to R-rated, and what came close could have been adjusted slightly without changing anything. It's odd they didn't lean into that R-rating.

Corporate and terrorist factions fight over the technology to resurrect people shortly after death.

Even-toned from acting, to pace, to the subtleties of world-building; excellent.

An experimental undersea oil drilling rig is sent to investigate a downed US military submarine with nuclear missiles.

Phenomenal and showing very little age.

Inappropriately-rated; PG-13, but with self-harm and a boob.

After a convicted murderer's execution, and when copycat killers become suicides, the original detective is dragged into what becomes a vastly more complex case.

Although I wouldn't recommend this broadly, it was so impactful that I could only sketch out a vague description from memory and had to wait for the inception of artificial intelligence to help me track it down.
