Infinite (2021)

 

A man discovers that his hallucinations are actually visions from past lives.

Highly derivative and uninspired hodgepodge of much better sci-fi and spy movies offers a lot of action and CGI, but never really thrills.

2038: George Almore is working on a true human-equivalent AI. His latest prototype is almost ready. This sensitive phase is also the riskiest. Especially as he has a goal that must be hidden at all costs. 

Good sci-fi drama adds some news aspects to the AI genre plus a twist ending, competent (small) cast and  well-produced special effects. 

 

 

The Mist (2007)

 

 

A freak storm unleashes a species of bloodthirsty creatures on a small town, where a small band of citizens hole up in a supermarket and fight for their lives. 

A monster movie executed as a psychological drama with a simple message ("We've seen the enemy, and he is us"), but with an extraordinary and downbeat ending.

On rewatching: A great monster movie for our times; the social analysis is even more virulent nowadays. 

Maltin***: "Suspenseful and graced with very good effects, this is a monster movie in the classic mode. It also has some social commentary...Controversial ending is changed from the story." 

 

Morgan (2016)

A corporate risk-management consultant must decide whether or not to terminate an artificially created humanoid being.

Above-average, well cast sci-fi drama delivers some shocks  with the android's irrational and violent behaviour; the twist ending, however, is is rather predictable.

Atomic Blonde (2017)

An undercover MI6 agent is sent to Berlin during the Cold War to investigate the murder of a fellow agent and recover a missing list of double agents.

Highly stylized comic adaptation delivers the goods with self-consciousness, but basically it's just the usual fist fights, car chases and shoot-outs.

Anthropoid (2016)

Based on the extraordinary true story of Operation Anthropoid, the WWII mission to assassinate SS General Reinhard Heydrich, the main architect behind the Final Solution and the Reich's third in command after Hitler and Himmler.

Subtle, but also quite suspenseful reconstruction of a historic occurence is not only focussed on the details of the assassiantion, but also is interested in the motives of its protagonists.
