Err, what?

March 29th, 2013 - The Host. Is that the Korean film that has been out for a couple of years now?

September 20th, 2013 - Star Wars Episode II - Attack of the Clones. Ok, that one has definitely been around for a while.

What is this list?

EDIT: Riddick is another one that has been out for a while...I don't understand this list at all...

I'm not sure about the first one, but the Star Wars one is a 3D re-release, like they did with Episode I.

EDIT: Riddick is the third installment in that series, to cap off the trilogy.

Oh god, count me out of this list then. 3D is quickly becoming a problem for my movie-going habits. I didn't see the Hobbit with friends the other day because of the silly gimmick. :(

I feel ya on that one. The only 3D movie I have ever seen in theaters was Episode I, and the only scene I can recall even being remotely "3D" was the pod races. (This was also a very bad introduction to the 3D theater experience, as I probably won't ever waste my money again, as poor of a job as that one was.) Other than that, it was clearly a simple cash grab by Lucas. As far as I know they are re-releasing all of them (including the original trilogy) in "3D." I will not be seeing any of them, myself. Now that Episode VII is going to be released in 2015, I am assuming this is why they are doing all the 3D re-releases in theaters.... And of course, money.

I agree 3D is very gimmicky, i try to watch the 2D films where possible but have ended up in a couple of 3D films. The one good thing i will say about 3D is that it draws the crowds so generally the 2D showing is not as busy :)

Totally agree. Usually used to prop up a bad film.

    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
