Microsoft-Activision Deal: Federal regulators have sued to block the $69 billion acquisition of the video game maker, but Microsoft is gambling on its “nice guy” strategy to close the megadeal.Epic Games : The creator of Fortnite agreed to pay $520 million over charges that it illegally collected children’s data and duped users into unwanted purchases.One of them, Ko Toot, said they were motivated to create the game after the arrest and subsequent disappearance of tech industry colleagues in Myanmar who were involved, or whose family members were involved, in anti-coup protests. War of Heroes was created by three Myanmar-born developers who left the country before the generals seized power on Feb. A similar number of fighters in urban areas have formed semiautonomous guerrilla units, known as the local people’s defense forces. Many regime opponents have fled to the jungle, where they have formed the People’s Defense Force, or P.D.F., an army with more than 60,000 fighters under the leadership of the shadow National Unity Government. Since ousting elected officials in the coup last year, the regime has attempted to crush dissent by arresting opposition leaders, gunning down unarmed protesters, bombing guerrilla encampments and burning thousands of homes. This all adds up to an exceedingly average movie.Myanmar’s military, known as the Tatmadaw, previously ruled the country for half a century and has long been at war with its own citizens. The story doesn’t put a lot of demands on the actors, so I didn’t find anyone who stood out, but at the same time there weren’t any poor performances. For instance when Tris is connected to the simulator is exactly like Neo connected to the mainframe at the end of Matrix Revolutions.īecause the story is so derivative it’s also predictable. It copies not just concepts from other stories but also the visual representation. Insurgent is just a little too obvious with it. Most great stories are derivative of one thing or another. There’s nothing wrong with being derivative of other films. All I could think was, “This looks like Inception, this part is just like the Matrix,” and so on.
But I was never able to get caught up in the story - I’m clearly not the target demographic. They managed to put the pieces together well enough that the movie isn’t ridiculously bad. The best thing I can say is that it isn’t horrible.
