On the capture of his last surviving clone, an evil alien enacts a time-editing plan to defeat his human enemies.

It’s basically a long episode. As such, it would be impossible to appreciate without having watched much of the series.

Note: I don’t know that I would put it here in this the viewing order.

It’s not possible to summarize this movie, as it’s a finale to Stargate SG-1 – (1997-2007 show).

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 super-secret military robot suit appears in a part-time mechanic’s truck, and he fiddles with it enough to get trapped in it. Wanting to visit his soon to be ex-girlfriend, he wrecks a path of havoc while being chased by people trying to retrieve or destroy it.

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.

In a dystopic future akin to Brave New World – (1932 book), by Aldous Huxley, everyone is lost in a virtual reality, playing a game to take control of the world’s largest corporation.

This movie is parasitic to the childhoods of old men and permanent-children. It’s worth a watch if you’re over 40, otherwise it’ll be a fairly confusing mess of references.

In a futuristic Germany, a mute guy has relationship troubles.

An interesting world, but generally terrible writing.

  • German is unnecessarily sprinkled throughout this movie.
  • Intended as a spiritual successor to Moon – (2009 movie), though I don’t see how.
