7 gunmen, for approximately 2.5 reasons, fight on behalf of a town they don't actually care about.
Fair. I mean.. it's just fair. Why bother with a remake if it's not going to even attempt to be better? It's a knockoff of the 1960 version set in California United States. Recommended for fans of westerns, but only so you can say that you saw it..
- A remake of The Magnificent Seven - (1960 movie).
-
Inspired by Seven Samurai - (1954 movie).

Tells the story surrounding the mythology and history of Redbad, King of the Frisians.
It tries, but it's just not very good. It's full of heavy-handed moralizing.

Fucking awful.

As a commentary on Edward Snowden or WikiLeaks or some such, a list, that somehow exists, is out in the clear and being hunted by various spies.
It would have made a huge difference had this not been portrayed as a flashback/debriefing. Because of this complete failure in storytelling, there was no sense of risk at all; an important part of a spy movie like this.

Waking from long hibernation, a woman claims to be the survivor of an alien attack from a planetoid which has since become a terraforming colony.
A direct descendent of Alien - (1979 movie), this movie not only builds on but improves on the movie, turning this into a blockbuster franchise.

Inspired by the French Revolution, a rebellion is launched against Spaniards in South America.
This movie leverages the "yeah freedom!" but spins the old yarn that all of the rich are bad and oppressors and the poor are good and oppressed. Entertaining, though propagandistic. It is particularly interesting to think of the underlying themes of the events portrayed in this movie, and how Communism has plunged Venezuela (TODO - confirm) into a Communist dark age.

Although this is in Spanish, a tiny amount is English, and a tinier amount is in French.
