An dying old rich man has his mind transferred to a younger body, and learns the dark secrets of the process.
Overall a good movie. It’s not particularly science-fictiony, but it does explore an interesting topic.

A super-soldier program falls apart when its author goes rogue, but when its heirs move to re-capture him, not only does one of his creations turn against them but so does his greatest creation, his daughter.
What was, in so many respects, an original piece in an original world, it has various inappropriate quips and so obviously draws from other sources that it wears thin for a fan of them. Definitely recommended, but I’ll leave it up to the viewer to decide on if they’d re-watch it. I reference several other sources which ought to be watched at some point, and I think their viewing would reveal just how thin this movie is. Good, but thin.
Properly titled Hitman: Agent 47

The world goes to shit when weather control satellites are taken over by an artificial intelligence.
Fair, but TV-quality. Strongly borrows from The Terminator – (1984 movie) franchise.

Random people go on a merry adventure looking for Luke.
DO NOT WATCH Not just because it takes a steaming dump overtop of the already steaming dumpyness of the prequels, but because it’s badly written and unresolved. Go and watch The Matrix Reloaded – (2003 movie) instead. That piece of shit somehow has less issues.
Followed by Rogue One – (2015 movie)

A crew on route to a space station learns that it’s crippled by a meteor storm.
It’s 1990s quality. Seeing as it’s a TV movie, that’s not surprising. Overall it’s fair, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
There is the occasional unsubtitled Russian language bit, but they are meant to be unobtrusive.

Receiving a signal from her now-dead foster-parent race, Samus Aran investigates.
There is no plot. It’s confusing and ugly. Do not watch this.
A Sam R. Balcomb film.

The feature-length movie and test pilot for Babylon 5 – (1994 show).
This is the first item to view in the Babylon 5 viewing order. See Babylon 5 binge 01 notes.
Movie Box, cd 1 – Babylon 5 – The Gathering – (1993 movie)
SPOILER ALERT – Although there is important information in the introduction to the station, I think it’s important to skip to 1:15.

People abandon Earth to flee to Mars, and a ship of three are sent with supplies to aid in recolonization.
I couldn’t get 20 minutes in because of the acting.
Why would a few days be fucking people over like that? I bet it’s because they’re 30.
Okay, I’m going to stop now.. the acting is just too bad.

Facing hard times, The Ghostbusters are called back into action when the city’s mood dips deep into anger.
Definitely not as good as Ghostbusters – (1984 movie), but an adequate film nonetheless.
Properly titled Ghostbusters II.
