A cop from an authoritarian future is caught up in a daring time-travel jail-break, to become stranded in present-day Vancouver Canada.
Overall this is adequate, but with several plot points and character traits which are difficult to believe. The biggest problem I have is the various brushes against citizen-terrorism apologetics. My takeaway is that this show is “safe”, with some edginess fabricated for the kids.

In the far future, the scarcity of water prompts pirates to steal ice, but they are swept up into a rebellion.
Swashbuckling-and-blasters, this movie is cheezy without being funny. I think it has some cult following merely because there wasn’t much of interest back then, and this style of movie was popular for reasons outside of quality entertainment. This is like some sort of movie version of shitposting.
Absolutely not recommended, as it doesn’t tick any boxes outside of nostalgia.
 Why is it called this? Who knowsǃ

Some people wake up with no memories, alone on board a ship. Blah blah mysteries and stuff.
It gets the basics right, but it ends up being shit in all the important places. The writing and tone of the show is terrible. I couldn’t get past two episodes before being disgusted. A show ought to hook me in the pilot, but this didn’t have one.. and it shows.

A man is conscripted into the military and alien goo forces him into a suicidal time loop.
A watchable waste of time.
Based on All You Need Is Kill – (2004 book), by Hiroshi Sakurazaka

In the far reaches of space, a small crew, 20 years into their solitary mission, find things beginning to go hilariously wrong.
Not bad, and it might have been good in the era it was made in but it’s mediocre now.

In a world ruined by an alien invasion and terraforming, an ex-military turned scavenger and his alien adopted daughter take refuge in one of the few reasonable settlements: Defiance.
Although it has elements I like, it doesn’t have anything that actually grabs me. In a world where there is so much else of better quality, this is not recommended. There are a couple of characters who are really well acted, but again.. it’s not worth the trouble.
