To escape a ruined future, a genetically-enhanced child is sent back in time to grow into a She-Hulk who is too ugly to date, let alone procreate, so I'm not sure why a cyborg is sent after her.

Wow this is a special kind of bad. The first is pretty good, and incredible in comparison to this. Well, it's part of a series so let's continue suffering through them all!

  • Trailer
  • Inappropriately-rated; Rated R but no blood or swearing. I guess it's for showing some thong-butt.

In a world where cybernetics are commonplace, a cop is tasked to track down pro-human terrorists.

It's straightforward fun; very good.

Nothing could possibly go wrong in an amusement park populated by robots.

A good-ish movie, which must have been spectacular at the time because of its original themes and spectacular presentation. It holds up very well over the few centuries since its release.

After a disaster, a pleasure theme park re-opens with a new population of robots.

Although this one has held up well, it does show its age. It's still spectacularly well-made, and especially well-written.

Various short stories, apparently all of which have preachy woke commentaries.

Fucking hell, pass.

An orphan struggles to survive, all the while working to repair an automaton that prompts an adventure.

Not among the greats, but it's a quiet, quaint, watchable, movie.

A corporation takes advantage of a grieving mother by using her to test a prototype robot in the guise of a little boy played by the actor from The Sixth Sense - (1999 movie) playing himself but in this movie.

Maybe in context it was special, but it's pretty obvious and tedious, and the incredibly drawn-out and potentially multiple-endings fucking suck man. If you're into robots, you should totally watch this.. once.

Don't Look Deeper - (2020 movie) image

Entertainment > Movies >

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10488234/

A high school girl discovers she is not.

A simple story lines that's still decent bubblegum, but it sneaks in jarring wokeness at the tail end so it's not really recommended. It could and should have done much better, even with the woke in mind.

Aliens wipe out most of humanity for some reason, then they choose to not wipe out the rest of humanity for some reason, then stragglers struggle to survive and such.

Really really awkward writing. There is so much that makes no sense whatsoever, even in the context of the show itself. It has snippets of potential but it's overall torturous for anyone who tends to pay attention; not recommended.

Synthetic humans are created, but once again philosophers weren't involved, and when some present intelligence and emotion they take umbrage at being slaves.

Adequate, but neither revelatory nor particularly interesting. Not particularly recommended except for people who like the general topic (which is why I made a tag for it).
