A Mexican crime family steals alien technology and wrecks havoc.

A mediocre superhero movie, which in today’s times makes it spectacular. Highly recommended as a bubblegum movie.

College students LARPing as revolutionaries set a hacker up, but he causes a shitstorm in an agent training prison.

This is pretty good. It’s essentially a Dutch revisitation of the concepts in the French movie La Femme Nikita – (1990 movie). It’s straightforward and so it seems fairly low budget.

A coal miner survives an apocalypse, but his struggles are only beginning.

Patient and excellent. A solid movie that survives its times. Also good for the terminally woke, to rub in the fact that this content has been mainstream since forever.

A beta tester stumbles into software with a back door also used by high-level hackers.

In many respects it aged poorly, but it has a reasonable core message.

A drug addict is swept up into extremely high stakes modelling.

The constant time travel is annoying as fuck, but it’s a requirement for it. I don’t like that part of things, but it’s otherwise quite good.

Aliens arrive with human ambassadors, who struggle with a decision to return or stay.

This movie has a poor tone and struggles with abandonment and mortality; it’s generally depressing. Not recommended, especially if you liked the first movie.

  • Trailer
  • Inappropriately rated: PG-13 but with suicide.
