REGARDING AI, I THINK WE’VE UNDERESTIMATED OUR PREDICTIONS

In the last two years, artificial intelligence has experienced explosive growth, and every day I’m more amazed by its advances. We talk about a future where movies will be created by AI, and this technology will be integrated into our daily lives. However, seeing how quickly everything is evolving and the quality of current work, I believe we’ve underestimated our predictions.

The realism is so astounding that you can barely distinguish what’s digital from what’s real. At this pace, 20 years from now, we’ll be living through advances we can’t even imagine today.

AI is not only redefining what we thought was possible but also opening doors to innovations we still can’t conceive of.

ROBOT BOXING

Chinese robotics company Unitree just dropped the announcement for what they claim will be the first ever boxing match between humanoid robots. The event is called “Iron Fist King: Awakening!” —which, let’s be honest, sounds more like an arcade game from the early 2000s than an actual tech showcase. But apparently, it's happening. In about a month. And yes, they’re promising punches. Between robots. For real.

They’ve already released a teaser video showing two of their machines squaring off in what looks like a training session. The bots throw punches, move around with a certain flow, and even stumble a bit —as if the video’s trying extra hard to look real because not everything looks polished. Still, it’s hard to buy it completely.
The movements feel… off. Too smooth to be robotic, too clunky to be cutting-edge animation. It sits in that uncanny valley where your brain goes: “Nice try, but I’m not sold.” It smells more like well-done CGI packaged as “look what we can already do,” rather than something truly happening in real time.

Are we getting closer to actual robot sports? Maybe. Are we seeing a real one here? Yeah, not likely.

ICONIC MOVIE SELFIES

Can you picture Rocky pulling out his phone right after knocking out Ivan Drago to snap a sweaty victory selfie? Or Freddy Krueger striking a pose with his burnt-up face while someone sleeps peacefully behind him? How about Mr. Miyagi sneaking a quick photo just as Daniel LaRusso goes for the legendary crane kick?
Yeah… classic movie moments, legendary scenes—and a phone that was never really there.

OFF-CAMERA MOMENTS

There’s something oddly beautiful about seeing movie heroes and villains getting along like old friends. Like they paused the explosions for a sec just to snap a photo, share a drink, or take a selfie with zero hard feelings.

Bruce Willis and the bad guy from Die Hard, hugging and toasting like the Nakatomi Plaza was just your average office party. Arnold filming a selfie video with Predator, like “you tried to rip my head off, but man, what a blast we had.” And Sarah Connor, full “I survived the apocalypse” vibe, casually posing with the T-800 as they share an ice cream like two besties at a county fair.

It’s like the script takes a break, the action freezes, and for a moment, it’s just two people having a laugh.

A couple of years ago, we talked on ALRNCN about the work of Vincent Bal, a Belgian artist and creative who’s been sharing his funny and original pieces on social media for a while now.

BUT HEY — AT LEAST WE’VE GOT THIS

We don’t have flying cars. We don’t have hoverboards like in Back to the Future. No colonies on Mars, no robots making us coffee in the morning, no self-drying clothes, no food in pill form, no cure for the common cold, no suits that make us invisible, no Star Wars-style holograms, no teleportation, no virtual vacations like in Total Recall, no time machines, no personal jets to get us to work, no chips that teach us kung fu in 10 seconds or implants that translate languages instantly… But hey — we do have this.

Cutting the line without anyone saying a word? Totally doable... if you know how to play your cards right.

28 YEARS LATER

Almost three decades after the Rage virus escaped from a lab, the UK remains under relentless quarantine. Survivors have learned to live among the infected, building isolated communities in a ruined world. One of those communities exists on Lindisfarne Island, connected to the mainland by a single, heavily guarded causeway. When a father and his son leave the safety of the island and venture into the heart of the mainland, they uncover secrets, wonders, and horrors—proof that both the infected and the survivors have changed in terrifying ways.

Directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland—the creative duo behind 28 Days Later—this new chapter marks their long-awaited return to the saga. Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, and Ralph Fiennes, among others. While Cillian Murphy, the original film’s lead, doesn’t appear in this entry, he returns as executive producer and could make a comeback in the sequels.

28 Years Later is the third installment in the franchise, following 28 Days Later (2002) and 28 Weeks Later (2007). It hits theaters on June 20, 2025, kicking off a brand-new trilogy. The next chapter, 28 Years Later: The Temple of Bone, is already in the can and set for release on January 16, 2026.
