Kalki 2898 AD (2024)

Movie rec; I am not saying Kalki 2898 AD just kicked the entire Star Wars franchise's arse but wow is it an excellent addition to the scifi tech-wizard high-epic pantheon. Gorgeous visuals, very high production values and so, so integrated in the genre. I, too, require a pair of lightsaber whips and a watch that is also a personal slingshot-speed-bike. CW for Mad Max levels of forced pregnancy... Mad Max levels of everything actually. Also it's part 1 of 2, and you'll have to wait 3 more years to see what I expect to be an awe inspiring sequel. I will watch this again, soon.

In a post-apocalyptic world (simultaneously exquisitely future-tech), a chosen few struggle to find and save the unborn child of lab subject SUM-80.

Bachchan is  fabulous, as is Prabhas who is obviously having a ball, I wish Padukone had more to work with, but Patani is a gem, and Suresh (who is voicing an AI) is perfect.

...if you don't already kinda remember the Mahabharata it would not hurt to casually refresh on key characters like, oh, Arjuna, Krishna, Karna, and Ashwatthama...
