For years I have been trying to find a anime scifi movie that I saw as a child. First and foremost, it is a movie. It is somewhat dark, maybe even towards horror but somewhat also adventurous. The main protagonist is a woman. A specific detail I recall that might help you identify this is that in a particular scene, this woman is isolated in a spaceship and there are odd things there, because first you see her I believe floating but asleep, and a scene later she has this weird headcrab (similar to ) on her face, but it looks more like a scrambled egg monster, really weird stuff. That is all that I can sort of recall. I have seen this in Europe around 1992-1995 ish, but back then in Europe we usually had movies and anime etc that were considerably older (late 70s, 80s), that is why I suggested even late 70s, 80s to early 90s. It was definitely dark, weird, had odd monsters like this headcrab thing that was suddenly on the girl’s head inside the space ship where she appeard to be completely alone.

What is the name of an anime from 80s-90s movie/series in which there is a scene, maybe the end, where a girl (who has an​ armor) exchanges age with a dying man in a beach, so the man transforms into a baby and the girl grows to a woman?

Unique short SF story where aliens being invaded by other aliens, went looking for allies (to help save their galactic empire).  While being chased by the antagonistic aliens, they encountered a barrier surrounding a solar system. They somehow managed to disable it and found a solar system where the third planet from the Sun showed signs of life. When they landed, they were received by a human girl who greeted them. The enemy ship which followed them also landed, but were destroyed by the humans easily.  Upon learning of the aliens request, the humans decided to help the aliens, and moved their entire world to follow the aliens' ship. Too late the aliens realized that these humans were the ancient war mongering race which was sealed up eons ago and they had accidentally released them.  Could someone please help to identify this title for me. Thanks.

I remember very little but enough... I know that there were 3 worlds, a real one, a mid-world kind of with a teleporter, and the world with all the creatures. The first episode was in the desert and there was a good monster that saved the main guys from a bad one. Before he saved them he said every end is a beginning and every beginning is an end.   Please help me; I've tried everything. I saw it on , I think it was not Japanese. I live in Croatia, so I saw it there. It was aimed at kids, but not younger kids. The main characters were human, around 15 years old. The teleporter was in the middle of a big structure. It was a 6 piece tp, so every circle was one, and it was shaped like a star. There were robots working there; they carried food and other things.  I remember that all the creatures thought that the humans are evil, all but the one, the "lord" of all of them. And yes, the main character got to the world by some sort of a device that he found and it belonged to another kid who lost it and they were able to transform in the creatures from the world by it. When they are in the "other world", their body stays in the real world and acts normally but their soul gets transported to the mid-world

During the 90's I saw parts of a science-fiction cartoon on TV. I don't remember for sure, but the graphics resembled , and I think it was American, but again, I'm not sure.  What I do remember is that the main character had a robot arm that looked just like a regular one. I think the humans were at war with robots controlled by an evil overlord, and someone believed the main character was also a robot because of his arm.  Another relevant memory was related to the bad guy (or one of the bad guys): in the end, it turns out it was a bratty teen who thought it was a game or who didn't realize exactly what he did.    [edit] Based on the feedback received so far, I need to add that:   this was a cartoon, not anime / japanese animation.  It was a movie, not a cartoon series. The robots were more like androids / humanoid robots, not mecha.   I also remembered a female protagonist. She's the one who notices the main character had a robotic arm after he has some sort of accident and robotic parts become visible beneath his arm skin.   Do these details sound familiar to anyone?

I’m trying to identify a movie I saw when I was very young.  It was a “Saturday Matinee” playing on one of the local stations, and I likely watched it in the late 60’s.  So I expect that the movie is from the 50’s or 60’s.  I watched it in black and white, but it could have been a color movie on a black and white set. I clearly recall a scene where scientists enter a lab and some see something move past them in a blur.  Later in the movie, they come upon themselves in the same lab where they appear to be frozen and not moving.  Then they notice that their “other selves” are moving, just almost inperceptibly slowly.  They are encountering themselves but at a completely different time scale. Unfortunately, I don’t recall much else about the movie, just the idea that they encounter themselves once with the others flashing past, and again seemingly not moving at all.  If this rings any bells with anyone, I’d love some pointers to try to track this movie down.

This probably wasn't a blockbuster back in its time as I remember the special effects didn't seem all that bombastic, but I do remember a few details.  A human astronaut lands (or crash-lands) on a prominently reddish planet. It might have been Mars, thought it might not have been. I think the atmosphere on said planet was humanly breathable (as in the astronaut does not wear his helmet).  This human astronaut needs to survive. He spots a humanoid alien, apparently also having crash-landed or otherwise in need of survival. He sees this alien consume some sort of greenish orb, apparently for nourishment. He sneaks up to the alien (or the alien craft) in an attempt to grab some of those greenish orbs. I don't remember whether he succeeds, but he does get beaten up by the alien.  The next bit of detail I remember was the human astronaut constructing some sort of shelter to protect both him and the alien from... meteor showers? The human astronaut piles up some rocks to build a hut while the alien, apparently having learned a few English words, says "shiiiiit" and "no solid". The human astronaut asks, incredulous, "No solid?" and punches the hut he just build. "See? Solid!" he proclaims, while the hut collapses a few seconds later. The alien laughs.  Later on the human astronaut is either caught by or accidentally fell into some sort of mouth-in-the-sand creature. He is saved by the alien in the process (or was it the alien who fell into the mouth-creature and was saved by the human astronaut). They witness the mouth-creature spitting out a turtle-like shell (from another local wildlife) of some sort. The human astronaut observes, and I paraphrase, "This stuff must be so tough that even [the mouth-creature] cannot digest it!" He then proceeds to build a meteor shelter from collected shells.  The last bit of detail I remember is when the alien becomes pregnant and is dying. The human astronaut, having thoroughly befriended the alien at this point, asks (and I paraphrase), "What do you mean you're pregnant? Aren't you a male?" to which the alien responds (and again I paraphrase), "For us it comes naturally, unlike for you humans whose pregnancy only comes after a brief period of pleasure". The alien then asks the human astronaut to bring the child to the alien's home planet and recite the names of the child's ancestors in front of... alien rulers, I guess. The last scene of the movie is of the human astronaut, having arrived at the alien's home planet, standing side-by-side (or perhaps hand-in-hand) with the alien child while chanting in an alien language (what I presume to be the names of the child's ancestors).

I’m looking for an alien movie I watched years ago, mid to late 2000’s about the Earth being cooked or heated up by aliens. The poster is a reflection of the Earth heating up with an orange glow on an aliens eye. It was a low budget movie and I think the one I watched was pirated from China. Again low budget, bad quality and the name could’ve been something worthy he word scorch or something like that. The alien in the movie had legs with knees that went inwards and it had red eyes.

This film is very similar to Lifepod 1993, but it takes place in a large ship, not a pod.  I can remember three characters... a technical engineer, being the one sabotaging the ship. And also this military cut character (who looks a lot like Kane from Mortal Kombat) and another girl (I think it was long, wavy black hair).  The "plot" twist that sends this one apart, at least back in the 1990´s, is that the ending comes to the fact there is only enough food and oxygen for one survivor and no escape pods or cryotubes, only a device that "could" work as a cryotube. For some reason that I cant remember the "Kane" dude chooses to die instead, by taking poison (which had been previously used on other surviving members). But the girl "tricks" him and drugs him instead, then places him in the "cryotube" and she stays awake to await for the rescue team.  Of course, they get salvaged, and he is still okay, surprised that she tricked him and saved him. Rings a bell for anyone? Is definitely a B-movie.

About 15 or so years ago, I dimly recall watching a movie on TV about aliens, which really struck a chord, but I can't remember enough to google a name or anything more specific. The action takes place on Earth, perhaps in the USA. It was a live action movie, not animated.    It was about a family; the father (grandfather?) was an army pilot, and when he was flying, he was abducted by aliens (briefly, then returned, I think?). The (grand?)daughter is a little child, and her nanny is trying to teach her telekinetic abilities (perhaps a result of modifications done to the father?). I think I remember her also conjuring up a glowing orb between her hands. The nanny turned out to work for the aliens. There was also something about the government trying to chase/capture the family.   Any help will be appreciated!

I'm trying to identify a Disney TV movie from the late-80s to mid-90s.  The plot points that I can remember are:   3 teenagers on a spacecraft, all in recently in trouble at their (military?) academy so being sent somewhere the ship malfunctions no adults around, period they meet some alien woman who agrees to help them because she "thought they were much older warriors" rather than kids the kids somehow have mechs (they look exactly like the Battlech Timber Wolf/Mad Cat mech) harvesting ice on a planet for water, they encounter some gigantic worm creature that can sense heat

Maybe related to   I saw a movie in the early 80's that could be from the late 70's and I remember that the crew had at least five or six members. So it's not Strange New World (just three members) as one answer suggested, nor any of the other like Planet Earth or Genesis II. They were all men, or maybe there was also a woman. I saw it on TV just one time and never saw it again. It was a simple plot, but really well done and with a very unexpected finale.    The crew return to earth and like the other question says, they don't receive any kind of signal. They don't know what happened and everything looks deserted and depopulated. In finding some ruins, they seem to understand that there's been a nuclear war. The movie is about their struggle to find out what happened and determine whether there's any civilization left. They have almost no food and water. They begin to lose hope, and even fight with each other. Some become ill and die. And maybe, in fighting, someone gets killed. It was all very dramatic.  I don't remember the dialogue, the characters, or the scenes, but I remember the end quite well. At the end, just one of them is walking in the desert and falls down exhausted and ready to die. After all that's happened, you think it's really the end, but then he kind of wakes up and seems to hear something and, after walking a few steps more, behind the next dune he starts seeing the blurry sketch of a city not so far away — blurry because of the heat of the desert. And the movie ends showing the man walking through a street of the city where people are walking and children are playing, not paying attention to him, and leaving you to wonder why they aren't helping him even while you are happy that he survived.

I remember watching this weird/freaky movie when I was a kid (maybe like 7-8, so perhaps around 7-ish years ago, give or take). I don’t remember a whole lot but from what I do remember is that it was about these people that had troubles with their ship and got stranded on the moon.    They explored as best they could and at one point found an old Russian spaceship that had been abandoned. There were some dead guys in it. Later on I vividly remember an alien that looked like a spider or a tarantula crawling under this guy's skin and eventually crawling into his helmet. (Those events might have been vice versa.)

I need the name of an early sci-fi movie, 1950s or early 1960s. I'd call it a C-movie. It was a Mars landing, in a spaceship that looked basically like a coffee can. The seats in the ship were low-backed regular chairs. The elevator taking the crew to the surface was the slowest elevator ever seen. On the surface, they discovered a Mars monster which looked like a giant tin-foil ball spray-painted with lighting effects to make it spooky. I think there were only about 4 crew members. It was a wonderfully awful movie, lots of fun. I'd like to see it again and share it with friends.

A guy on a space ship picks up a distress call, a boy is stranded on a planet with a hostile environment. He &amp; his crew go to the rescue, stopping on the way to pick up an old man who comes with them. Most of the top of the old guy's skull is metal, from an old injury.  They've various adventures on the way (their ship is boarded by pirates/bandits/hostile forces at one point).  They get to the planet with the boy. They've limited time to save him as the planet is being moved back in time. (I can't remember why) When they find the boy, he's being attacked by giant wasp-type-things.   The boy is injured on the top of his head. The old guy dies protecting him. The boy gets shifted back in time with the planet and - you guessed it - survives, grows up and turns out to be the old guy.  Now that I've remembered some of it, the bits I can't remember are driving me crazy. I'd love to see this again, if I could identify it I might be able to track down a copy.  I'd swear I saw this mid 80's on morning TV, but it I could be out by 5 years either way. Thanks

This has been a old live-action movie from Asia, most likely Japan. I've seen it some time in the late 80's and I think it's been black/white only.  Earth is invaded by UFOs (small and round, like flying balls), coming from Mars.  Japan (I think) built some kind of super spaceship, initially hidden within some secret port in some kind of island/mountain.  The spaceship looks similar to a classic battleship, but with an added drill below the front.  In the movie's finale it's revealed that this is some kind of   super weapon/bomb that has to be manually piloted by someone. When launched it starts rotating and flies (formed like a bullet but with the drill/corkscrew head).   To defend Earth, the ship is sent on a mission to Venus, where the UFOs seem to originate. I don't remember the specific reason or conclusion here.  The ship starts underwater or launches from the mountain on the island, then taking off and fighting UFOs while leaving Earth's atmosphere.

Almost 10 years ago I saw an English sci-fi film on a Hungarian TV channel. The story was about a military mission started from Earth to an alien planet to destroy the whole race. The full story happened on the same starship (mainly the conversations and the mood of the film was interesting). The leaders of the mission has only one eye, because one of their eye was exchanged to a special monocular computer interface. This interface was used to unlock secret codes. On the way to the alien planet some type of malfunction happened, and also some soldier died. Step by step, more army men died, and near to the end of film just a few people remained. They felt the mission is in danger and tried to save the situation. Finally only one young solder remained alive who launched the nuclear bomb carried by the starship to destroy the planet where the ship arrived. Unfortunately the ship arrived at Earth, because one alien lived with them on the ship and she reversed the ship at the middle of their travel. This enemy alien looked like a normal man, because the aliens made surgical operations on one of their female specimens, and converted her to a human appearance. Does anybody know the title of this film?

I searched wide and far and couldn't come up with a title for a movie I watched somewhere around the mid-90ies up to early 00's as a rerun in late-night television (in Germany, specifically on Vox; but I'm sure it was an American movie to begin with).  Basically, what I remember from the story revolves around a crew in a space station or maybe space ship of some sort. Some crew members murder other crew members and there is some kind of door they are not supposed/unable to go through. Late in the movie they do go through the door and I'm pretty sure one of the first views is a skeleton of a dead security guard. It turns out the whole thing was some kind of simulation gone wrong and they find themselves to be in a (nuclear?) wasteland. And that's pretty much the revelation/wrap-up of the movie, as I recall it.  I would be delighted if somebody had any idea what movie this could be :) Thanks!  EDIT: The whole movie was in color and I think it was feature-length, not just 45 mins.
