People have a refreshing nap and wake up to be suspiciously-nice.
A remake of a remake of an adaptation of a book. And it shows. At least Nicole Kidperson is hot.
Be certain to skip the first couple of minutes; they are a horrible horrible spoiler.
A remake of:
Futureworld - (1976 movie) has a similar theme.

A guy finds out he has an illegitimate brother, then maybe it's a twin, and then maybe a clone-- oh wait, that takes over an hour to suspect.
Fuck this movie; it's awful.
Inspired by The Double - (2002 book), by José Saramago

Something about a boy in the 70s wandering around and a girl from earlier who also wandered around because reasons and things happen but they're not exciting so just give this a miss.
I don't know what the fuck these people were thinking, but this is beyond confusing and awful.

A standard broken-family Disney movie, but with magical thinking.
God damn this is a low-effort piece of shit.
Inspired by A Wrinkle in Time - (1962 book), by Madeleine L'Engle

In a dystopic future akin to Brave New World - (1932 book), by Aldous Huxley, everyone is lost in a virtual reality, playing a game to take control of the world's largest corporation.
This movie is parasitic to the childhoods of old men and permanent-children. It's worth a watch if you're over 40, otherwise it'll be a fairly confusing mess of references.
Inspired by Ready Player One - (2011 book), by Ernest Cline

Inspired by the story of the forty-seven rōnin. If you don't know it, then don't look that up. I can't give a description without spoiling it. Consider yourself lucky to have a fresh mind.
This is a patient yet tense movie. I have next to no notes, because there's really nothing to write or even think about. Recommended, though not "highly recommended", as there are a lot of movies which execute this general manly-man theme extremely well. Though it's not among its number, anyone who likes the samurai genre should give this a watch.

As a commentary on Edward Snowden or WikiLeaks or some such, a list, that somehow exists, is out in the clear and being hunted by various spies.
It would have made a huge difference had this not been portrayed as a flashback/debriefing. Because of this complete failure in storytelling, there was no sense of risk at all; an important part of a spy movie like this.
Based on The Coldest City - (2012 comic), by Antony Johnston

Netforce, a United States federal agency, tracks major hacking activities on the internet that point toward major criminal activities.
Definitely a TV-movie. Mediocre, and only moderately interesting. Definitely missing key elements from the also-boring book.
This was inspired by Net Force - (1998 book), by Tom Clancy

An anti-robot cop investigates the death of the father of contemporary artificial intelligence-enabled robots.
A great movie through and through. Highly recommended and a welcome addition to my science fiction movie catalog.
based on I, Robot - (1940-1950 short stories), by Isaac Asimov

A murder-mystery set around the intricacies of Japanese business culture.
A very good movie with a great theme and tone throughout.
