Soldiers flee an unwinnable battle, but find themselves trapped in a bunker surrounded by an enemy desperate to get in.
Recommended for fans of the original who can tolerate less character development, story and budget. It’s definitely not bad.
Properly titled Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation

Aliens are sending spores to colonize Earth, but when humans send a retaliatory force to their homeworld they learn the bugs are a far more dangerous foe than anticipated.
It’s a largely flawless movie. Amazing fun for what it is, which is the sort of military movie where only one soldier runs out of ammo once in the entire movie.
Based on Starship Troopers – (1959 book), by Robert A. Heinlein

A meteor (I think) strikes the Atlantic Ocean, sending tidal waves that not only scour shores but destroy entire continents, the resulting wave of which approaches Australia. Except the tidal wave is made of fire for some reason.
I’ve not much to say about it. It’s a decent movie.

The apocalypse happens, and a bunch of average celebrities try to survive.
Moderately terrible. Worth a watch if you like these particular actors and their previous works.
Based on the short film Jay and Seth versus the Apocalypse (2007 short movie), by Evan Goldberg and Jason Stone.

To judge the Earth, aliens grant a single man the power of wishing, but he’s an everyday guy and has no idea how to handle it.
A moderately good movie, with solid comedy throughout it. I only really care about it because of its subject matter and the way it handles it. Strangely, he grants himself wisdom early on but never clues into using it to give him proper understanding of it and how to use it. That’s the major theme of the movie, and the source of its comedy.

Single people are in a hotel and must fall in love, and they hunt other people for sport to gain extra days to do it.
This is just a shit movie. The little twangs of music are unnecessarily unnerving, the narration is pointless and fucking annoying and everyone’s manner of speech is .. well it grates on my nerves.

A girl, hiding in a church, writes a letter to the police who, without evidence, raise a stink.
I couldn’t get half way through this. Not only do the various genres in this movie not interest me, but it highlights “listen and believe”. I fucking guarantee that’s why Emma Watson is in this.
The title is based on Regression (psychology)

A genius-recluse works on artificial intelligence, and brings in a young man to test his most recent success.
I don’t know what it says about me, but I find this movie innocent, beautiful, and deeply disturbing. I honestly don’t think it would be moral of me to recommend this to anyone except as a sort of cautionary tale of the inevitable.
The title is a play on deus ex machina, Latin for “god from the machine”.

Meteors fall to earth, one of which survives and is seen to house a living creature by a local yokel.
Meh. For science fiction it’s barely okay, and as an actual movie it’s less than that. Good enough to recommend to bored half-fans of science fiction who want less science and more fiction.

A physicist works in secret to build a wormhole generator, but its failure leads to surprising consequences.
While I don’t regret watching this, it’s only fair at best in my mind. While it does get tangled up in some of the more interesting themes of time travel fiction, it dances around things and is generally too fluffy for me to keep the tough stuff in my mind.
Synchronicity is a concept in psychology.
