A world broken by plague sends a team back in time to prevent the virus from spreading.

It’s better than a B-movie but definitely not A-quality. I would class this as a good TV-movie. Worth a watch if you’re into science fiction.

  • In the year 2204

A new wave of tailor-made drugs sweeps over Detroit, whose even bigger problem is a corporate takeover of the city.

While interesting, it’s not ground-breaking like the first was.

A mortally-wounded cop is used as the foundation to build a police robot meant to be a tool for control but whose artificially-repressed memories and inerrant awesomeness surface to save the day.

This was a great movie in the day, and I’d bet I’m biased in saying it’s still great.

A military science experiment haunts local Yugoslavians when the infected turn into madmen.

An amateurish zombie movie with nothing interesting to add to the genre. It’s worth a watch if you’re zombie movies, otherwise don’t bother.

A corporate drone goes mad and spirals into psychopathy, violently lashing out at society.

An absolutely mandatory film. As heavy-handed as its anti-corporatism is, it has fantastic subtleties requiring multiple viewings. There are very few movies which can achieve this level of watchability. This is absolutely an A-class dudebro movie.

A nerd fulfils his dream of being on the high school football team and has a crush on a geek girl, a desperately lonely single mother and an ex-assassin neighbour.

Not a dudebro movie and not a chick flick. I’m not sure where this stands, but it’s watchable.

A hooker is picked up by a business man and they end up spending a week together, encouraging both her transformation and his.

Strongly disliked. With overtones of all manner of female masterbatory bullshit from hypergamy to princess-saving, this film is a tooth-grinder.

A struggling writer takes drugs, giving him incredible results with unforeseen consequences.

This is an uncomfortably-great movie. It’s semi-horror in the sense of a tactile empathy the viewer has. I don’t know that I’d consider this mandatory viewing, because it would strongly depend on the viewer. I don’t think this would be a “love it or hate it” movie, because it’s .. just odd. It’s original, and that alone would make it mandatory viewing for some.

A one-room horror where angels descend to destroy all of mankind because god left, but a baby is to be the saviour of all mankind.

Meh. This isn’t a particularly good movie.

Dominion – (2014 show) is based on Legion. I wouldn’t consider this movie mandatory viewing before watching Dominion. In fact, I would recommend against viewing this movie because the series is so much better.

A man escapes death by teleporting himself to an extremely-distant planet, whose residents went mad from an unknown plague.

Really great for what it is, but its genre is not my cup of tea.
