A classic ruined world utopic city movie.

It’s fair. It’s a basic young adult movie with some woke messaging and diversity casting in the old “rebel and save the world” template.

  • Trailer
  • Straight white Christian men are only bad guys.

A psychiatrist’s world is turned upside-down when his patients join a global trend of suicide and violence.

Moody and with great acting. This is definitely strange, especially because of its torturously patient story arc. I can’t recommend this for everyone because it’s more weird-drama than science fiction. It’s one of those “watch once” movies.

Robots go mental and investigators try to figure it out.

Great world building, but everything is monotone and it goes totally crazy most of the way through. It would have been better if it stayed grounded in its initial location as the world-building was great there. Ultimately disappointing.

In a universe where aliens ruled everything somehow but aren’t there now for some reason and humans learned stuff from their remnants somehow, one world has a vault of their stuff for some reason, and.. well anyway there’s this girl that this guy wants back because corporations are bad? I dunno, there is shooting.

Another pointless girl power man-bad movie.

A bad single mother raises a selfish daughter who, to get attention, almost commits second-hand genocide and grows into a woman who almost commits genocide again.

Quite watchable. I don’t know why other people didn’t like it. I didn’t find any particular flaws.

Descendants of an apocalypse by monsters remained walled in their defences.

Brutal and riveting. Really great, but it’s actually quite scarring so you want to be good in life before watching this.

The Tangle - (2019 movie) poster

Humanity has been infected by nanobots controlled by an AI that ends violence, which, although about as horrifying as it sounds, many people want it and some even work for it.

Slow and halting, but with a good premise. It leans heavily into acting, which isn’t at the level needed to make this shine. Still, it’s not a turd.

This would have made for an excellent pilot episode.

A key survivor of a world destroyed by a plague is forced to save it. I think.

It’s generally slow and boring; luke warm at best, but recommended if you’re into this sort of thing.
