Stark Enterprises founds Damage Control, a high-security company doing cleanup after The Avengers‘ massive fight, but Spiderman learns that its technology is being poached by criminals.

I didn’t even know this movie existed. It’s fair. Recommended for the general audience who enjoys the other movies, though it’s definitely not as good as others of its ilk.

A prequel adventure with the eponymous Han Solo. It has no excitement since with a prequil there can’t be any sense of accomplishment without any chance of failure.

A franchise so strong I didn’t even know this movie was released or was even being made.

Not recommended, even for fans. It gives and does nothing. It’s vaguely entertaining.

A family is lost in space.

It’s not bad, but the tone bothers me. It’s so tryhard “epic” that it’s strained.

A space-environmentalist works to cull the people who don’t recycle, but polluters aim to stop him.

An adequate movie which for once has a sensible major plot arc.

You are part of an elite squad who freeze time to move near cover and get shot in the head.

I guess they didn’t play their own game, because there are obvious flaws. This would have been more fun if they got rid of the whole moving around like an RPG. Like the old X-COM ga– oh wait, the old games are just better. Why was this game made?

  • Properly titled The Bureau: XCOM Declassified

An underclass punk, returning from a ten month flight from the country, happens upon a suicide that reveals that she is part of a larger picture.

The lead actor is particularly good, as is all the acting. The story is poor in a number of places, and it is particularly jarring to have literal-faggotry forced into it. I don’t mind there happening to be gay characters, but when they’re gay characters being gay because gayness yay gay gay as opposed to just being people who happen to be gay, it’s so obvious and so insulting as to taint the whole fucking show.

I’ll flag this as liked and lightly-recommended. It’s really not all that awful, but it rubs me the wrong way. It’s like girly science fiction drama-whatever.
