A small research vessel is knocked down by a meteor shower, triggering a panicked military response and causing hundreds of civilian casualties.

An endearing and distracting movie. Recommended, even though the dubbing is exaggerated and loud.

An old ace fighter pilot is dusted off to instruct for an impossible mission.

https://www.warnerbros.com/movies/blade-runner

A man working for the police is tasked to hunt down murderous artificial humans.

Moody and mostly-slow, relying heavily on the setting. It’s good, and not just “good for it’s time”. It has a spectacular tone and style to it; definitely recommended.

Confusing, slow, and tiring.

  • 9:15 — Wouldn’t he have already been prepared to abandon ship? I would have expected him to be in a suit.
  • 11:00 — God it must be as boring for that guy as it is to watch that guy not do anything.
  • 13:15 — He should have been bundling up his parachute immediately.
  • 19:00 — Five days of water would take up more volume than that little pack.
  • 19:15 — Why would he think that place doesn’t have intelligent life? That could be somewhere on Earth, and we have intelligent life.
  • 24:30 — There’s no way he would be spilling even a bit of it if he has to use pills to drink it.
  • 28:30 — The robots wiped out the world and are now just patrolling?

Some pre-astronauts do a tour in a simulation under ground only to learn that things go wrong or maybe they don’t.

This was just annoying to watch.

Although they lampshade The Blair Witch Project – (1999 movie), this is just The Blair Witch Project with an accent.
