Star Trek Beyond 2016
Like all the Bad Robot Treks, it comes from the gut, not the heart or the head, and the aesthetic is somewhat un-ambitious, but Beyond is enjoyable in its unpretentious simplicity and delivers on the possibility offered by the 2009 film. In a lot of ways it feels a lot like a throwback to films like The Last Starfighter and (ironically) Galaxy Quest, and the problem solving chemistry of the cast goes a long way. A moment about twenty minutes from the end may make some eyes roll, but I punched the air.

Kickboxer 2: The Road Back 1991
Sasha Mitchell lacks the weird charisma of JCVD, but KB 2 adheres so rigorously and unironically to the formula (whilst dialing up the crazy a notch) that its difficult not to enjoy.
