A man is kidnapped and forced to unlock his super powers to save the world.

It essentially changes genre as though it’s trying to add a twist to things, but that doesn’t work. It’s a blend of a few other ideas, and it doesn’t execute them particularly well.

After losing his wife, a scientist goes mad and begins cloning her.

I can’t comprehend how anyone could deal with the conflict of tones in this movie. It’s definitely not light-hearted or a romance; it’s main focus is dark as all hell. Definitely not recommended.

While trying to invent a teleporter, scientists accidentally invent a multiverse-teleporter which one uses to fetch her recently deceased in her-world husband.

Kinda neat, but definitely a TV-movie; not bad, but not recommended.

How do I even begin to describe a movie that switches themes multiple times? It begins with a poor kid when an ex-con older step-brother returns from prison.

The movie begins at 1:32:00; it would make for a good pilot episode for a show, but this definitely doesn’t work as a movie.

Immigrants aren’t just takenr jerbs, but takenr whole planet.

A nice watchable movie. A shorter version of this would have been a great pilot for a whole series.

For some reason children develop barely-controlled superpowers. Most of them die for some reason, and the rest are interred for some reason. Finally for obvious reasons children kinda fight back.

I can appreciate that this is not too bad of a girl power movie, but it is pretty obvious and inadequate.

A prototype military robot dog somehow escapes and is found by a guy who likes motorcycles.

I guess it’s moderately okay. Is this what passes for good clean kids movies these days?
