A S.E.T.I. operator discovers a signal and uncovers a plot to stop his investigation.
An absolutely fantastic movie.

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.

Lost in space, a member of a misfit band of space-mercenaries is found by his father.
Another boring semi-superhero movie. I expect this will be mildly entertaining for people who really liked the earlier one.

 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”.

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)

Although this movie is tagged as foreign-language, only one character speaks in Japanese, and it is minor.

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.
