Aliens crash land on earth and vaguely assimilate.
It’s quaint, choke-full of stars and amusing in it’s era. I don’t know that I’d consider it particularly good these days because it leans all the way into an alien culture clash, but it’s nice.

In a world where virtual reality is the primary lifestyle, a “mixed world” private detective is tasked to track down terrorists.
While it has a crazy amount of narration, it is really intelligent and subtle.
Original title: Virtual Revolution

Born as the survivor of a bitten-pregnancy, a part-vampire “day walker” continues his crusade amidst one of their ranks’ power play for leadership.
A classic movie, before the whole superhero genre got entirely out of hand. It’s an unfortunate rewriting of the original comic book, but it does well with what it has. It’s blunt and stiff, yet entertaining.
It has only a couple of moments of technology which feel old, otherwise it has held up well.

A boy-genius is brought into an elite university to work on a laser project with a genius-misfit, but after its spectacular success they learn of its nefarious purpose.
While old, it holds up perfectly. A great movie, with a bunch of laugh-out-loud moments. Unlike the “frat boy” movies which are all about booze and boobs, this one shows genius with its hacker spirit.

Humans have been rapidly evolving and spontaneously generating new organize.
A third of the way in there is no particular plot, and this is intolerably weird.

A bunch of friendless losers are brought together to fight in an augmented reality military simulation.
While not bad, it’s ultimately fair at best.
