I'm not sure why, because I really want to love this film, but the more I see of it the less interested I am. I love thoughtful sci-fi (Moon and District 9 were both amazing) and I love balls-to-the-wall action epics (2012 looks like a bag of stupid, but a damn thrilling bag of stupid) so I can't figure out why I just don't "get it".

I can just hope that the best parts are still the parts we haven't seen and the 3d, instead of being the usual gimmick, lifts and enhances the movie.

(but hey - to this day I still love The Abyss far more than T2, so I may not be normal!!)

There is a featurette up too, about 4m long with interviews and some new scenes from the movie. Might have been linked before

A thing that struck me after having checked the trailers is that the Na'vi race are huge. Probably about 3m tall.

Here is a snap from the August teaser.

The only thing I want to nitpick on is the excessive jumping off cliffs and landing on flying mounts. It seems very impractical, and also would diminish the population rather quickly considering all factors at play. But I'm still hyped, I want to see this movie.

    • 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.
