A dog is transported to an alien planet whose ruler is bent on going to Earth for world domination.

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.

A prequel to Star Trek – (1966 show) but with canon revisionism.

Boss girls, shit exposition, sprinkled with wokeness, too many distractingly-ugly women.

  • Properly titled Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

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.
