The Valiant Ones (1975): In this historical martial arts film, directed by King Hu, the Ming Dynasty faces the relentless threat of Japanese pirates. A group of skilled warriors, handpicked for their exceptional combat abilities, are tasked with defending the empire. With breathtaking fight sequences and a compelling story of bravery and loyalty, "The Valiant Ones" stands as a classic in the genre, showcasing the artistry and intensity of traditional Chinese cinema.

In the sci-fi thriller Species II (1998), humanity faces a new threat from outer space. Astronaut Patrick Ross (Justin Lazar) returns to Earth from a mission to Mars, unaware that he has been infected with alien DNA. Now he is transformed into a deadly hybrid that seeks to reproduce and destroy. Agent Preston Lennox (Michael Madsen) and scientist Laura Baker (Marg Helgenberger) team up to stop him before he sows chaos and death on the planet.

The movie “1984” 4K (1984) is an adaptation of George Orwell's famous novel. In this dystopian future, a totalitarian regime watches every move of its citizens. John Hurt stars as Winston Smith, a simple man who dares to challenge the system. The plot plunges the viewer into a dark world where propaganda and repression rule, and the concepts of freedom and truth are distorted beyond recognition. The film remains faithful to the original work, offering an in-depth analysis of political control and the human spirit.

Like Roland Emmerich and Wolfgang Petersen, the Dutchman Paul Verhoeven is made for Hollywood. He knows no fear of contact with complex production methods and garish comic book entertainment. Robocop (1987), Total Recall (1990) and Starship Troopers (1997) are among the best that science fiction cinema produced during this phase. Fanboy dreams, great special effects, innovative stories and brilliantly staged action mixed with dark visions of the future that denounce the mercilessness of capitalist principles with barely concealed sarcasm and, in beautiful chronology, outline a social development, at the end of which the loss of Democracy stands. Here we go...

The 25th century. Democracy has been abolished and people live in an authoritarian world federation in which only those civil rights who commit to military service are granted. This is not the only reason why Rico (Casper van Dien), Diz (Dina Meyer), Carmen (Denise Richards) and Carl (Neil Patrick Harris) are drawn to the armed forces. She also lures adventure or simply the desire to stay close to her sweethearts.

In Paul Verhoeven's action-packed war satire Starship Troopers, four teenagers are drawn to the war against beetle aliens. But the supposed adventure becomes a bloody nightmare – now enjoy on 4k Blu-ray and Dolby Atmos!

It's hard to believe that Starship Troopers with its criticism of propaganda and totalitarianism was misunderstood by the US reviewers at the time. They let themselves be lured into the trap by the show values of the Riefenstahl look – basically like the young soldiers who storm their own doom with a great hurray.
