- DirectorRobert WiseStarsWilliam ShatnerLeonard NimoyDeForest KelleyWhen an alien spacecraft of enormous power is spotted approaching Earth, Admiral James T. Kirk resumes command of the overhauled USS Enterprise in order to intercept it.So easy to dismiss this today, but if you were there it was awesome. After decades of cheesy SFX and the TV series - this was Star Trek brought to life.
- DirectorRobert ZemeckisStarsJodie FosterMatthew McConaugheyTom SkerrittDr. Ellie Arroway, after years of searching, finds conclusive radio proof of extraterrestrial intelligence, sending plans for a mysterious machine.Intelligently adapted from the book. Didn't let down the late great and thoroughly likeable Carl Sagan.

A whole new world of FX and story telling on an epic scale.

They could have improved it by using some of the elemnts of time travel from Millennium (Chery Ladd)

Together, they must recover an item that has been stolen by an intergalactic villain.Another great movie that didn't take itself too seriously. Light hearted fun with the great Tommy Lee Jones.
- DirectorAlex ProyasStarsRufus SewellKiefer SutherlandJennifer ConnellyA man struggles with memories of his past, which include a wife he cannot remember and a nightmarish world no one else ever seems to wake up from.Great original story line, great cinematography and great acting. Not compromised to include crap to appeal to the lowest common denominator. The worst culprit here is Independence Day.
- DirectorNimród AntalStarsAdrien BrodyLaurence FishburneTopher GraceA group of elite warriors parachute into an unfamiliar jungle and are hunted by members of a merciless alien race.I would have picked the original with Arnie, but the opening scene in this movie is genius...
- DirectorLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsKeanu ReevesLaurence FishburneCarrie-Anne MossWhen a beautiful stranger leads computer hacker Neo to a forbidding underworld, he discovers the shocking truth--the life he knows is the elaborate deception of an evil cyber-intelligence.Just as we all suspected, we are being controlled.

Of course here, it was a British carrier. Much more plausible.

- DirectorZack SnyderStarsJackie Earle HaleyPatrick WilsonCarla GuginoIn a version of 1985 where superheroes exist, the murder of a colleague sends active vigilante Rorschach on the trail of a conspiracy that will change the course of history.Never heard of them until this movie.

Soon they find their lives spinning out of control and their bond tested as they embrace their darker sides.Not too original but very well acted and directed.
