Everything has gone to shit, and though the moon has a colony which is at war with the survivors still on Earth, they don’t bombard it from space to win.
Too low-budget for me to bother with.

While the primary fleet is away, fresh-recruits are sent to investigate a distress call from an allied planet.
A reboot and alternate-timeline of the series. It’s “good”, but is also the bubblegum one ought to expect these days.

A comedic commentary of Aeon Flux – (2005 movie).
Although amusing and with a few laugh-out-loud moments, this is mostly a waste of time. The RiffTrax concept might be nice for either fans or haters of a film, but this RiffTrax of this movie was not particularly entertaining to me. I’ll likely get into other RiffTrax’s later, so perhaps my opinion will change, but for now I don’t recommend this.

In a ruined world, the last remaining city is revealed to be populated by clones, the need of which the lead scientist hopes to cure but his brother works to persist.
Overall a decent flick, but with great music that quickly becomes over-the-top with its loud pervasiveness. It starts strong, but its big ending action sequence looks cheesy as all hell. I can tentatively say I like this movie. I have, after all, seen it multiple times. Something in me is saddened somehow, as though this movie should have been better but I can’t put my finger on it. I’m not familiar with its source material, but I expect those who are would have more grounds to find fault with this movie.

A girl kills her father, blows up her house to hide the evidence and flees the scene.
While this might have been good at the time, and particularly notable because of the nudity, it’s only vaguely entertaining like a sort of late-night TV-movie. It’s too low-brow compared to science f
iction movies, too adult compared to fantasy movies and too childish for grownups.
Based on Heavy Metal (magazine)
I’ll add notes when I re-watch this.

In a future Tokyo which has survived a massive explosion, a highschool student motorcycle gang stumbles into a military research program whose earlier efforts lead to that disaster, and they become embroiled in the revived project.
A genre-defining movie on so many levels. It portrays a world unique to those unfamiliar with manga (a form of Japanese comics) and has both great storytelling and incredible animation.

Some sort of time machine thing is discovered by an idiot and time machiney things happen because of paradoxes and a murder spree of intrigues and stuff.
I don’t think I paid close enough attention to understand what the fuck was going on. It wasn’t bad as such, but it was distractingly-overdubbed Kiwi-ese. Everything about it was fair, except for bits of the plot not grabbing me, and the speaking. The speaking thing is kind of important for me.

The world, having gone to shit for some reason, has no guns for some reason, and, in a world nothing like Mad Max – (1979 movie), things happen for various reasons.
It’s a manly man man show, with fighting and stuff, though it does have some sort of fantasy fiction quietly woven in. It seemed fair, but I struggled to get through season one and just didn’t care after a couple of episodes of season two.
Loosely based on Journey to the West, attributed to Wu Cheng’en.

Space-Mexican construction workers build the universe, and an idiot child turns out to be the god of Deism. Or something.
Very well-crafted, if loosely written.

Guild bounty hunters hunt bounties and stuff.
I like it so far.
I am reminded of Firefly – (2002 show).
