Stranded (2002) poster

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0274905/

A crew on route to a space station learns that it’s crippled by a meteor storm.

It’s 1990s quality. Seeing as it’s a TV movie, that’s not surprising. Overall it’s fair, but I wouldn’t recommend it.

  • aka Black Horizon
  • There is the occasional unsubtitled Russian language bit, but they are meant to be unobtrusive.

Fantastic Four (2015) poster

Five young scientists invent a technology to teleport to some other world, but there are terrible consequences.

An adequate movie. Recommended if you’re already into this class of movie. Apparently this superhero retardation is now an entire class of movie. God dammit this is some lazy bullshit.

  • Stylized as Fant4stic

    • No, really.
    • I’m not sure if this is actually done in print with text or only with that image/logo.


Police Academy (1984) poster

The bar for entry into the police force is lowered, and misfits enter the police academy.

Overall, this was worth a couple of laughs, but the sexism and racism need to be viewed too in-context for me to deal with it. This language/culture/whatever difference removes any chance of timelessness this movie might have had.

  • The Police Academy (franchise):

    • Police Academy 2 – Their First Assignment
    • Police Academy 3 – Back in Training
    • Police Academy 4 – Citizens on Patrol
    • Police Academy 5 – Assignment Miami Beach
    • Police Academy 6 – City Under Siege
    • Police Academy 7 – Mission to Moscow

The last of a powerful race tours time and space, regularly ending up in trouble.

Playful fun. Occasionally attempts to glide past some significant issues with time travel but is generally bubblegum. Doesn’t take itself too seriously. Recommended until it goes woke.
