Why watch this film?
Many people consider this to be the pinnacle of the classic Star Trek timeline. In the movie, the villain Khan Noonien Singh, seen in the original series episode “Space Seed”, returns to take revenge on now-Admiral Kirk. He then hijacks one of the Federation's starships, the USS Reliant, and engages in one of the greatest space battles in the franchise. The film is remembered for its twists and turns, memorable dialogue, and amazing battle scenes. Themes addressed include aging, nostalgia, and sacrifices we make for others. The ending is unforgettable. William Shatner as Kirk and of course Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock gave excellent performances. Another highlight is the great soundtrack by James Horner, which serves as an important character within the movie.

Plot summary
It is the 23rd century. The Federation Starship U.S.S. Enterprise is on routine training maneuvers and Admiral James T. Kirk seems resigned to the fact that this inspection may well be the last space mission of his career. But Khan is back. Aided by his exiled band of genetic supermen, Khan - brilliant renegade of 20th century Earth - has raided Space Station Regula One, stolen a top secret device called Project Genesis, wrested control of another Federation starship, and now schemes to set a most deadly trap for his old enemy Kirk... with the threat of a universal Armageddon!

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
This is the last movie with the classic cast of 'Star Trek', in a big allegory about the end of the Cold War. After the destruction of one of Qo'noS' moons, the Klingons are forced to seek a peace agreement with the United Federation of Planets-- and the USS Enterprise-A is called to escort a Klingon delegation to participate in the negotiations. Thus, the screenplay brings interesting moral dilemmas (were the aliens, for example, who killed Kirk's son?), In addition to a small "who killed" mystery in its last act. Looking at it today, the story (even swapping the allegory) still works.
Sci-Fi & Fantasy
Megalopolis
An architect wants to rebuild New York City as a utopia following a devastating disaster.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
As the world falls, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers into the hands of a great biker horde led by the warlord Dementus. Sweeping through the wasteland, they encounter the citadel presided over by Immortan Joe. The two tyrants wage war for dominance, and Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home.
Dredd
In the future, America is a dystopian wasteland. The latest scourge is Ma-Ma, a prostitute-turned-drug pusher with a dangerous new drug and aims to take over the city. The only possibility of stopping her is an elite group of urban police called Judges, who combine the duties of judge, jury and executioner to deliver a brutal brand of swift justice. But even the top-ranking Judge, Dredd, discovers that taking down Ma-Ma isn’t as easy as it seems in this explosive adaptation of the hugely popular comic series.
Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver
It was said about the first installment, and it can be said about Netflix's Rebel Moon (Part Two): it is a movie that only Zack Snyder fans will enjoy. The film continues to be a copy of the classic 'Seven Samurai', but in space: our heroes, led by Kora (Sofia Boutella), return to their small agricultural moon to prepare the defense against the invaders from the Empire. The story unfolds in a predictable manner (even more so if you've seen Kurosawa's classic), with Snyder's usual stylistic vices: overuse of slow motion and gratuitous Christian symbolism. If you liked the previous one (or the director's other movies), you will undoubtedly enjoy it. Otherwise, it might be better to skip it.
