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.

A S.E.T.I. operator discovers a signal and uncovers a plot to stop his investigation.
An absolutely fantastic movie.

A pretty princess turned-warrior leaves paradise to hunt the god of war during World War I.
It’s got a slow pace, good mood and is not your usual superhero flick. The pretty girl really makes this movie, even making up for the ugly male lead.

Lost in space, a member of a misfit band of space-mercenaries is found by his father.
Another boring semi-superhero movie. I expect this will be mildly entertaining for people who really liked the earlier one.
In an odd way, see also:

A writer visiting contemporary Paris is repeatedly transported to 1920s Paris.
This has been described as a romantic comedy, but there is neither romance nor comedy to be found. It’s dry and drags its feet.

A special agent combat-cyborg pursues a cyber criminal who comes to have a special interest in her.
Although I like it, I suspect it’s because I like the original so much and I can’t be unbiased. I also think Scarlett is hot.
I became even more interested in seeing this movie in light of the incorrectly-supposed-whitewashing of the lead character. Antisocial injustice is actually pretty good at recommending things.
Although this movie is tagged as foreign-language, only one character speaks in Japanese, and it is minor.
