White Dwarf
Synopsis
In a distant future New York medical student Driscoll Rampart accomplishes his internship at Rusta, a rural planet that doesn't revolve around its axis and therefore is divided into contrasting halves of eternal day vs. eternal night. One is a Victorian-styled colony, the other a medieval kingdom. Both leave Rampart in a state of constant wonder, as he finds his way among humans and aliens, strange dreams and even stranger reality, a dark keep and a red sea, and more universal matters of war and peace, good and bad, love and hate and sickness and health.

Sci-Fi Cinema in the 1990s
Science fiction movies from the nineties (1990-1999), including TV movies as well as stand-alone mini-series.

Films that fall more under the umbrella of horror (like a lot of zombie and pandemic films) have also been omitted.
