Twenty years after the near-annihilation of Earth, aliens return.

Not a particularly good movie. Definitely not worth a watch for science fiction movie fans. I don’t know who the target audience is supposed to be. There’s no character development, poor drama, uninspired action, un-notable writing.. so un-notable that I made a word up. Screw you, red squiggle.. I defy you.

Properly titled Independence Day: Resurgence

The last remaining city in a ruined world learns it has an oversight committee funding a research project overseeing them.

An adequate movie, filled with no character development, an uninteresting world and a mediocre plot. Good for a watch for people who like the earlier movies in this series, or people too young and dumb to know what a good movie actually is.

Based on Allegiant – (2013 book), by Veronica Roth

A black man is black and something something racism white men are bad but that’s totally not racist.

Oh god this is so bad. I gave this more than a half an hour and I was bounced between being insulted, offended, angered and bored.

Based on The Autobiography of Malcolm X by (1965 book), by Malcolm X and Alex Haley

A warrior race escapes a decaying world by invading a new one.

I hold no strong opinion of this. It’s .. mediocre.

A man hears voices, kills people, and stuff.

I saw bits and pieces, including some pretty long bits. I didn’t like any of it. This was one of those career enders .. but it somehow didn’t murder his career.

Something about American yokles and bad people and meth and stuff.

I didn’t watch much of it. I caught a bit here and there. It was too dark. Dim, and boring.

It’s just being listed here so I don’t accidentally watch it.

An Old One is awakened, and renews his takeover of the world.. except we already know the good guys win because this takes place in the 80s and a past movie, set in the then-future, has an intact world with all characters accounted for.

A standard superhero movie, with nothing particularly interesting. Extremely confusing given that this is a sequel to a sequel to a prequel or some shit.

I would have done a few things different, and even a few subtle changes would have made this movie a hell of a lot better.

Definitely pass on this unless you’re really into this particular series.

Some bullshit about a woman who has issues with being possessed.

I saw bits and pieces of it, and instantly hated it. It’s being noted so I can definitely never see it.

I’m not really sure what’s going on with this movie. Something about cyborgs and a guy who is in love with one that he’s trying to “resurrect”.

It’s an interesting watch, but probably only because it’s Korean. I don’t get to see a lot of foreign science fiction movies outside of the glut of Japanese anime. I sort of like it, but I tend to get confused in a couple of places. It’ll be recommended, but only to those of a similar mind to me.

Very good subtitles; very few were awkward for me.

Tired of lax justice, two brothers become particularly effective vigilantes against the criminal element in their greater area.

I don’t know what to say about this movie. It’s fantastic. Good characters, a good story and with a good flow to it.

TODO – A two-part comic book story, serving as a companion to the movie sequel, was released in May 2010.
