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.

A murderer is saved from death only to be used in an experiment to explore his ancestry.

It's an awkward combination of slowness with action. I suspect it could have been quite good, as it has the elements for it.. but the writing is shit in enough significant places that it can't recover. It has an abysmal resolution, making the whole experience regrettable.

Receiving a signal from her now-dead foster-parent race, Samus Aran investigates.

There is no plot. It's confusing and ugly. Do not watch this.

  • Properly titled Metroid: The Sky Calls
  • See also Metroid the video game, on Wikipedia.

  • A Sam R. Balcomb film.

A team investigates the killing of genetics researchers by their secret laboratory's artificial intelligence, learning it had a good reason to do so.

Quite good, even after its era. It does not show much age except for one monster. This movie headed the resurrection of the zombie movie sub-genre.

TODO - To watch with commentary and all the bonus material.

Phew, I might have accidentally bought this! What American Hollywood crap! Many layers of it.

Thankfully, there won't be a third movie in this series. Mila punched out the director. =)

2018-01-27 -- Welp, I guess I was wrong.
