You know, I was actually excited to see this movie and the next one...until I finished the third book earlier this month. What a terrible, depressing, anti-climactic ending for a series that was pretty good up until the last couple of chapters. I haven't been that disappointed since witnessing the garbage that was Mass Effect 3's ending.

 

At this point I'm only interested in seeing the movie because I'll get to see more Jennifer Lawrence.

While I always root for the heroes all throughout the series, I'm fine with the depressing endings. Kind of reflects how screwed the world is on that fictional time.

Jennifer Lawrence is something we can agree on, though. :p

Yeah, these movies are pretty bad. A bunch of 20-25 year olds that are supposed to be 15? And Jennifer Lawrence is beautiful, but I have to agree with past critics, she doesn't fit the role at all as she's far from looking like a starved child. The poor casting of the movies clashes far too much with the story. Was there ever a reasoning given for why the casting is so far off from the reality of the book?

 

The first book was pretty good. The second book was awful. I didn't bother with the third because I heard it was even worse.

1st book is ok, 2nd book is slow at the beginning, then it's ok, third book is terrible, because it doesn't follows the logic of its own history just in order to bring sadness to the reader.

I don't understand the popularity of this, the first movie was utter crap. The book was much better, I presume (?)

 

I thought the books were decent. Certainly much better than the movies (so far anyway). The movie seemed design to attract 13 year old viewers.

 

The ideas behind the books is more intriguing than the writing. It reminds me of the early Foundation books by Isaac Asimov, where the ideas were fantastic but the writing was mediocre.

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue

      Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There's a brand-new update rolling out to Nvidia's GeForce NOW streaming service, and like every week, that means more games have received support on the platform. This week's drop has additions like Aphelion and Pro Cycling Manager 26 attached to it. Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active too. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Moreover, Nvidia reiterated that support for GOG single sign-in and game library is incoming this summer, joining stores like Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and Xbox. "Connect supported game store accounts and stream titles with GeForce RTX power. Games that include cloud-save functionality help keep progress intact across devices," added the company. "Start a game on one screen, pick up where playtime left off on another, and spend less time managing installs and storage space." Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Embers of the Uncrowned Demo (New release on Steam, available 13) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 15) Aphelion (Steam) Citizen Sleeper (Epic Game Store, Free from June 18-25) Megastore Simulator (Steam) OPERATOR (Steam) Super Meat Boy 3D (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month, with extra time being purchasable in chunks.

    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns

      Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
