Servants of the emperor wage war with ancient gods to dominate the land for iron, forcing innocents into the crossfire, but a prince of a lost tribe adventures to save himself and the land from the resulting curse.

Throughout the movie, there are men used as comedic relief and women as brave and smart.

Two worlds are connected and one of the worlds has a lot of monsters who somehow live without anything to eat and also are persistent assholes.

The actual movie starts two thirds in, and there are so many terrible writing decisions; oh god it’s so bad.

I really zoned out for this one. The audio was terrible too.

A workaholic can’t deal with being entitled and bored.

A machine goes back in time to save it’s reprogrammer from another machine that was created thanks to another instance of that first machine having been sent back in time to kill that reprogrammer’s mother which created the timeline that made the machines in the first place. Or something.

A great movie, although I’m not sure if it could be watched on it’s own. Thankfully The Terminator – (1984 movie) is a must-watch.

Two strangers press a button and are whisked away to a capitalist dystopia.

It’s alternately boring and stupid.

A man works to develop an artificial intelligence for a secret military robot soldier project.

With a dark, calm tone, this movie brushes up against all the right topics. It encourages strong empathy for artificial intelligence in a way rarely seen elsewhere, and I find it deeply moving. Very highly recommended.
