A cop is saved from death but brought into a supernatural police department.

A fair movie. It has some fairly amusing moments but is overall an engaging bubblegum movie.

A new warfare technology is developed, but catches a former-military police officer in the crossfire of its activities.

It had hope, but it ended so badly.

An alternate energy generator is invented, and a test pilot goes through as a fail-safe.

It might have been good, but the perspective was awful and it amplified already-poor writing. The secondary perspective of hopping around in time was aggravating.

Young adults go on a vacation on Labor Day weekend, but their neighbor has an abduction story.

Overall a decent enough movie with a weak ending. It could have had a lot more subtlety and explanation woven throughout to create a more complete movie-universe.

possibly coming later

Don’t watch this, see Star Wars II.I – Attack of the Phantom – (2001 movie) instead. Even at a lower quality it’s.. well it’s better I guess.

Make sure you have Star Wars – Episode III – Revenge of the Sith – (2005 movie) lined up to watch immediately after.

An assassination attempt on a senator gets her two superpowered-bodyguards, one of whom has the hots for her and whose investigation leads to a mystery that has remained shrouded for ten years.

While nowhere near as good as Star Wars Episode I.II – The Phantom Edit – (2000 movie) is compared to its source, Attack of the Phantom is an adequate watch and certainly head and shoulders above its source. Unfortunately this movie also requires Star Wars – Episode III – Revenge of the Sith – (2005 movie) be watched immediately afterwards, and since there was never a phantom edit made of that I don’t know if I can recommend this.

It’s flagged as disliked, but I don’t feel that I wasted my time watching it. I just feel let down by the ending.

Supergirl supers superly.

Oh my god this is trash from every angle. Bad writing, bad acting, bad .. just bad everything everywhere always. It has no high points. Disney can suck a dick.

The story of the seven samurai .. I mean the 47 ronin I mean the 21 Sihks defending a fort.

It’s not too over-the-top Bollywood, so it’s a perfectly watchable “yay us” hero story.

  • Based on actual events.
