Artificial signals are detected in our solar system, and a single astronaut is sent to investigate.
A humble but successful movie; worth a watch.

A mysterious message is detected by an astronaut, who learns its senders are on their way to Earth.
Fair, and moody, but it feels like there should be more content.
Original title: Das Signal

A astronaut has an accident in space and comes back crazy.
It's like a sort of brooding bubblegum show; light on the science, heavy on the fiction, and with some horror mixed in.
I can't remember what movie this reminds me of. I think Another Earth - (2011 movie)

Survivors of a ruined Earth cast away to a new Earth, aptly called "New Earth", but some people are stupid and prefer extinction (for that ship).
It had some potential, but it slid way way downhill.

The found footage of the travel to, and exploration of, one of the moons of Jupiter in the search for extraterrestrial life.
It's slow and focused, with a consistent and weighty tone. If you like it within the first fifteen minutes, you'll like the rest of it.

A side-scrolling ship-shooter with upgrades.
While pretty neat, it's unforgiving and a bit annoying.

In future with a colonized galaxy, a mad scientist develops an evolving quantum computer which he believes proves determinism and prediction of the collapse of civilization.
It started interesting, but dove into too many plotlines, timelines, and characters, and then space-wizards. I find it predictable and tedious, and I'm constantly nagged at there being zero good looking women, just passable persons of pigment hired for The Message.
Inspired by the Foundation series - (1942+ books), by Isaac Asimov

A colony ship faces a set of disasters that leave it both crippled and filled with a confused crew.
Better than my description.

A high school student discovers his favorite video game was made for military recruitment.
Wholesome entertainment.

After a disaster, a pleasure theme park re-opens with a new population of robots.
Although this one has held up well, it does show its age. It's still spectacularly well-made, and especially well-written.
