You can't have sci-fi without Schwarzenegger. The 6th Day tells the story of a kind family man (Schwarzenegger) who is illegally cloned on accident as part of a conspiracy theory.

The Arrival - 20 November @ 21:00

An absolute must-watch for fans of the sci-fi series, Firefly, Serenity is the film that finishes the story.

It's a classic.

Milla Jovovich plays Violet, a super-lethal, genetically mutated warrior who goes rogue to protect her fellow mutated people, all of which were infected by a virus. The government wants to destroy all of those with mutations, but Violet wants revenge for those who created her new race. Equal parts colorful and action-packed, Ultraviolet will keep you on the edge of your seat.
