A series of unrelated voiceless-shorts, sort of sometimes stitched together with the theme of robots.
Fairly terrible. It comes across as a set of student efforts. I wouldn't have been impressed even then.
See also The Animatrix - (2003 movie), sort of.
 It really was in theaters. I went back to see it.

Two interns and a lovesick magazine reporter follow up on a crazy old classified ad requesting a partner for time travel.
It's not exactly a time-travel movie, science fiction, a comedy or a romance or a romantic comedy, but it does have a light dusting of everything. It's "okay".
Based on a joke published as a classified advertisement in Backwoods Home - (1997 magazine), by John Silveira

A special agent combat-cyborg pursues a cyber criminal who comes to have a special interest in her.
Although I like it, I suspect it's because I like the original so much and I can't be unbiased. I also think Scarlett is hot.
I became even more interested in seeing this movie in light of the incorrectly-supposed-whitewashing of the lead character. Antisocial injustice is actually pretty good at recommending things.
Remade from the animated movie Ghost In The Shell - (1995 movie)

Aliens arrive, but nobody knows the first thing about talking to them.
This is another movie whose description would spoil it. With a rather mellow and thoughtful tone throughout, it pulls the viewer in. I think it will hold up well over time, too.
 No, her eyes are not like that

A ship malfunctions, and a passenger on a deep-space voyage to a new colony is woken from hibernation early.
Good and not good at the same time. It works out quite well, and has a good overall tone to it, but the story itself is sad.

The Romulans have an internal power struggle, and The Enterprise is brought in for diplomacy by one of their factions, which has a member particularly interested in their captain.
Generally trashy and obvious, with multiple issues throughout. Not worth watching. Definitely avoid if not already a fan of the television show, as this is an absolute mess without a moderate understanding of its lore.
Properly titled Star Trek X: Nemesis

A reported is invited for an exclusive story in a tech mogul's closed-lab.
Quite good, though rather obvious.

A military man is enlisted into a mission to save Chicago United States from a terror attack.
A fantastic, emotional, movie. This has all the elements of quality which make a movie truly great.
I'm surprised I took next to no notes. There really isn't any actual "substance" to this film, in the sense that there are few references to people, places, or things. It's all one contained package that is surprisingly easy to lose time with.

An comet's path crosses the earth's, and a shuttle crew is to rendezvous with it to plant nukes to divert its course.
With a decent story and good characters, the science proves, unfortunately, fundamentally flawed. It's still a good watch and doesn't show its age.

An evil scientist constructs a robot surrogate and transfers his consciousness into it to carry out his plans for global domination by kidnapping a very wealthy sheikh's son.
A watchable moderate-budget movie which somehow still falls into an 80s-cheese style. It's rare to find such a bold movie, even with it being unashamedly graphic to the point of dark comedy. I think that's why I like it.
It's worth watching once.
