Aliens arrive with human ambassadors, who struggle with a decision to return or stay.

This movie has a poor tone and struggles with abandonment and mortality; it’s generally depressing. Not recommended, especially if you liked the first movie.

  • Trailer
  • Inappropriately rated: PG-13 but with suicide.

A Beauty and the Beast story about a warrior poet man who feels unworthy of love because of his appearance.

A boy is saved by a mob man, and becomes an assassin as repayment only to become embroiled in the crime world.
