director

private astronaut Jared Isaacman will be its new director

by

Space has once again been a question of power, and NASA is once again at the center of the spotlight. While China officially maintains that will reach the Moon with astronauts in 2030 and lists concrete advances in its manned program, the United States faces a replacement at the head of its space agency after a turbulent year. It is not a simple name change in the organizational chart: it is the confirmation that the lunar race has entered a phase in which leadership, the calendar and today’s decisions weigh a lot. The United States Senate just confirmed to Jared Isaacman as NASA’s new administrator, ending a long and unusual process even by Washington standards. The vote went ahead with 67 votes in favor against 30 votes against, according to C-SPAN, and clears up an uncertainty that had weighed on the agency’s management for months. With this confirmation, NASA leaves behind a stage marked by interim management and once again has a ratified manager. New command at NASA and a lunar race that once again sets the course Jared Isaacman doesn’t fit the traditional mold of NASA administrators. Founder of payments company Shift4, private pilot and astronauthis name became known for commanding two commercial manned missions aboard SpaceX’s Crew Dragon, Inspiration4 in 2021 and Polaris Dawn in 2024. This journey, halfway between the private sector and direct experience in flight, explains why its arrival is interpreted as a sign of continuity in the agency’s growing openness to commercial actors. The process started more than a year ago, when Donald Trump announced his intention to place him at the head of NASAbut it was interrupted on May 31, cwhen the White House withdrew his nomination. Months later, with meetings between the two and in a context of growing frustration within the administration over the performance of the acting administrator, according to industry sources cited by SpaceNews, Trump announced on November 4 his decision to re-nominate him. Jared Isaacman All this comes as China reaffirms its goal of landing astronauts on the Moon by 2030 and listed a chain of tests already carried out and others in preparation. The program includes tests of the Lanyue module, validations of the Long March-10 rocket and the Mengzhou spacecraft, in addition to the development of extravehicular suits and a manned lunar rover, within a schedule that the organization itself describes as demanding. Space Launch System From Washington, this Chinese advance has been translated into an increasingly explicit message. Sean Duffy, Secretary of Transportation and acting administrator of NASA during the interim period, publicly congratulated Isaacman upon his confirmation and framed his arrival as part of a clear political objective. “I wish Jared success as he begins his tenure and leads NASA as we return to the Moon in 2028 and defeat China,” he wrote in a post. In his appearance before the Senate, Isaacman made it clear that the lunar calendar is not a secondary issue for NASA. Given doubts about the accumulated delays in the Artemis program, he warned that any additional delay could have strategic consequences. “There is no doubt that the top priority in the short term is returning American astronauts to the Moon,” statedemphasizing that postponing that objective opens the door for the United States to lose the initiative.

The director of the DGT proposes a grace period with the V16 beacons

by

On January 1, 2026, it becomes mandatory to carry the V16 beacon connected in the car. Pere Navarro, general director of Traffic, has shed some light regarding the DGT’s decision on the device. And a few days ago confirmed that the agents will act flexibly during the first months, prioritizing information about the sanction. The statements come just after the DGT itself has recognized communication failures of this measure. The date does not move, but the fines will wait. Navarro reiterated that the regulations comes into effect as plannedand that is something that had been announced for five years. But he also clarified that the agents “will be flexible, for a time, informing” the drivers before starting to sanction. The objective, according to the director of the DGT, is to “consolidate this system” without generating a barrage of fines from day one. Mea culpa from Traffic. Montserrat Estaca, head of the Telematics Area of ​​the DGT, publicly acknowledged in statements to 20Minutos that “we have not done the job well” in terms of disseminating the measure. He admitted that many citizens are unaware of the mandatory nature of the connected V16 beacon and that communication has been insufficient. Until now, the DGT has only reported through the media, without sending direct communications to drivers as it did with environmental labeling. Why this change now?. The replacement of the triangles with the V16 beacon seeks to prevent drivers from having to get out of the vehicle and walk along the road to signal a breakdown. Navarrese provides data: Between 20 and 25 people die every year after being run over after abandoning their car, although it recognizes that not all cases are directly related to the placement of triangles. The new device is placed on the roof of the vehicle without leaving the passenger compartment and emits a light signal visible up to a kilometer. Not all beacons are valid. Here is one of the big problems: many drivers bought V16 beacons a long time ago, but not all are approved. Only connected V16 beacons are valid, those that incorporate a GPS chip and SIM card to connect to the platform. DGT 3.0 and transmit the position of the vehicle in real time. Connectivity must be guaranteed for a minimum of 12 years without additional fees. Offline beacons, mostly sold before 2022, do not comply with the regulations. How to know if your beacon is legitimate. The key is in the certificate number. Before buying, you must verify on the DGT website that the product has valid approval. The official list includes all devices certified by the IDIADA or LCOE laboratories. Simply enter the certificate number in the search engine to confirm that the beacon meets the technical requirements. Without this step, it is easy to fall for misleading offers, especially on platforms like AliExpress or Temuwhere we can find both approved products and others that are not. Price is not everything. Although the OCU places the usual price around 40-50 eurosthere are specific offers that reduce the cost up to 10 euros for new users on certain platforms. Stake defend that the expense is acceptable, commenting that divided by 12 years of guaranteed connectivity, “it amounts to just three or four euros per year.” In addition, he also highlights that if you change vehicles, “you can take the beacon from one vehicle to another as you could do with triangles.” The beacon does not solve everything. Navarro too warns that “there are those who think that by installing the V16 everything is over. No. This is simply to notify that a kilometer and a half away there is a vehicle stopped on the road due to an incident. It is not for anything else. You still have to call your insurance company to have the tow truck come and remove the car or fix the damage. One thing does not replace the other, let’s make no mistake” Its limitations in broad daylight. The DGT itself recognize that the beacon works worse with natural light. Estaca admitted that “the worst they work is in daylight,” when their visibility is reduced to about 50 meters, the same distance as a traditional triangle. In adverse conditions (fog, rain, night), the flashing light gains effectiveness. Traffic’s commitment also involves trusting in digital connectivity, allowing other drivers to receive the warning through their browsers before arriving at the area of ​​the incident. Spain, world laboratory. The country will be the first in the world to mandatory implement a system of connected beacons. The European Commission follow the experience closely in Spain with a view to there being changes in the rest of the countries. Navarrese presume of the system as “a Spanish invention” and asks for patience to evaluate its real effectiveness once it comes into operation. What vehicles are required. The norm It affects passenger cars, buses, vans, goods transport vehicles and non-special sets registered in Spain. Motorcycles, special vehicles such as agricultural machinery, bicycles, scooters and cars with foreign license plates are exempt, which may continue to use triangles. Fine if we don’t have it. Although there will be initial flexibility, as claimed Navarro, the fine for not carrying the beacon will be 80 euros, the same as is currently applied for not having triangles. In addition, using triangles will also be punishable from January 1, since Traffic considers that they pose a risk of being run over. The DGT has not confirmed how long exactly the grace period will last before starting to sanction systematically. It would also not be advisable to tempt fate.

Genesis wants to be Hyundai’s lexus. And its general director has no doubt of its expansion in Europe: “We are among the best”

by

Genesis is a “premium Korean brand. We are among the best”. With these words, Peter Kronschnabl, director of Genesis in Europe, to the company where he works. After a few hesitant years and a limited presence in a handful of European markets, the Korean company of Premium vehicles will launch new markets from next year among which is Spain. The presentation of the plans came in the IAA Mobilitywhere Xataka He had the opportunity to know the details of an expansion that will play all the sticks. Genesis will be much more than a refined and more luxurious version of Hyundai. The company will have its own sports line and will put all the meat on the grill with its long starting at the WEC, the World Cup, and, therefore, on the 24 -hour Le Mans grill. New life for genesis In our country, Genesis has been little less than a great stranger. You may sound your logo (which can remind Aston Martin’s) and you may have seen some of her cars on the street. But it is rare because our country has been arriving in counted units. In fact, Genesis has only been present in recent years in Germany, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. That is, always with an eye on regions with more bulky wages than Spanish. However, the European hug to the electric car seems to have opened a loophole to other markets. Although there is no official confirmation, the brand has not ruled out that in the future we can see hybrid models. At the moment we know that they will bring three completely electric models. Two of them are SUV, the GV60 and the GV70, which will arrive accompanied by a Berlina, the G80. Genesis will offer models clearly focused on luxury And, in the absence of trying them, with a clear commitment to the most sophisticated comfort. On the way to the Münich airport we had the opportunity to get on its G80 as passengers and we verified first hand the words of its director for Europe. “What does it mean to be a ‘Premium Korean’? Obviously, we talk about the quality of the materials, we do not make any commitment. You will understand when you enter the interior because we are among the best brands of the Premium segment,” said Kronschnabl. And stressed, “for us it is very important They are Nimwhich is the Korean word that is used for the concept of hospitality. And when I say that for us it is very important, it is not only that you buy a car, but also that you have a service package with a car. We will give services that revolve around the experience inside the car. “ In fact, the true protagonists are their rear squares: two heated and ventilated rear armchairs, with the possibility of reclining in all types of positions and with massage included. Curtain for the windows, two tablets behind the back of the front seats and a total control of the infotainment system from a digital center located between the two seats. The movement makes sense in a European market where high -flight electrical options begin to take positions. The Chinese manufacturers As Xpeng or Nio have a clear technological commitment. Genesis, however, is committed to the most traditional luxury line, the BMW 7 Series 7 or a Mercedes S. The Hypercar with which Genesis will compete in Le Mans To this we must add that offering only electrical versions, at least for the moment, the bet is very little risky. Although cars arrive with drops, each electric registration helps reduce Hyundai average emissions in Europe. Import hybrid cars is more problematic because it would continue to represent the relative high cost of importing very low volumes but Without the benefit of directly attacking the average emissions. And when driving? We will have to wait to check for ourselves but from Genesis they already advance that “on one side you have the brands with a very sporty approach and on the other side those that are very oriented to comfort. We have our own positioning. We want to offer a good driving experience but comfort is above all” Of course, with genesis Magna should also come. This firm will be the most sporty version of Genesis. He has the challenge of offering clear differentiation with Hyundai’s N Division and putting a spicy point to cars that clearly bet on extreme comfort. However, Genesis investment for its (new) arrival in Europe is important and will begin by generating brand image In the World Cup. This same year they already took advantage of Le Mans to give first brushstrokes on the project. There they will compete with a Hypercar which was also seen in the Münich IAA Mobility. Live, paint absolutely spectacular. It remains to know how that V8 that will mount. The Koreans, in addition, have not spared efforts to give relevance to their sports commitment. The division is flag Jacky Ickxa myth of motor racing that piloted for Ferrari or Lotus in Formula 1 and is especially remembered by his six victories in the 24 hours of Le Mans. There, the team will be directed by Cyril Abiteboulwho already directed Renault in his passage through Formula 1. Of all this, however, we will know new details later.

Perseverance has found what, according to NASA’s director, is “the clearest indication of life we ​​have seen on Mars”

by

That NASA conveque without warning a press conference related to Rover Perseverance can only mean that it has found something interesting. And indeed, that is what the acting administrator of the NASA, Sean Duffy, has announced today. What, I quote textually, “could be one of the clearest signs of life we ​​have seen on Mars.” Short. The scientific community has finished analyzing A rock with a leopard spots pattern that NASA’s Perseverance Rover found on Mars in July last year. A complete study Posted in Nature magazine It confirms that the surface of the rock has a combination of chemical, mineral and textural characteristics that are difficult to explain without, at least consider the intervention of biology. Although scientists cannot confirm it without physical access to the rock, It could be the first biofirma found on Mars. That is, a geochemical characteristic that is associated with microbial life on earth and that, casually, has been found in a place where water ran. Cheyava Falls. The epicenter of this finding is an area of ​​the edges of the Marciano Jezero crater baptized as Bright Angel, an old river bed about 400 meters wide. It was here that, in July 2024, the Rover Perseverance ran into a rock -shaped rock of approximately one meter long that was baptized by NASA scientists as “Cheyava Falls”. The analysis of this rock has revealed some tiny structures to which researchers refer, colloquially, as “poppy seeds” and “leopard spots.” They are not simple rocks with curious shapes, they are the product of chemical reactions. Poppy seeds are nodules between 100 and 200 microns, probably a mineral called Vivianita, and leopard spots are the reaction fronts: more complex structures of up to 1 mm with a dark edge of Vivianita and a clearer core rich in iron sulfide, probably of Greigita. What is special. The truly interesting thing about these mineral structures is that they are next to organic carbon, detected by the Perseverance Sherloc instrument through its spectral Band G. To understand the striking of this finding, you just have to see what causes these structures on Earth. And yes, microbial life is an option. “On Earth, sometimes things are formed in sediments where microbes eat organic matter and ‘breathe’ oxide and sulfate”, explains the geobiologist Michael TiceProfessor of the University of Texas A&M and co -author of the study. They were the microbes. Oxide-reduction reactions (better known as redox) start from electron transfer, which is a fundamental process for living beings to obtain energy. Therefore, an option is the biological scenario: microorganisms that lived in the mud of an old Marciano Lake more than 3,000 million years ago caused these structures. As? They used organic matter as food. When “breathing”, they used oxidized iron and sediment sulfate as electrons acceptors, producing the reduced iron minerals that we see today: the vivianita and the greek. This process occurs at low temperatures and perfectly explains the combination and disposition of minerals and organic matter. Not so fast. Purely geochemical processes, without biological intervention, could also have created these structures. Organic matter (which can have a non -biological origin, such as a meteorite) was also able to react with rock minerals. But in this abiotic scenario there is a problem. The reactions that the Vivianita form can occur at low temperatures, and the geochemical processes known to form the Greigite from sulfate require very high temperatures (greater than 150-200 ° C) or very acidic. Bright Angel’s rocks show no evidence of having experienced either. The definitive test? Not far, but a promising first step. Perseverance instruments are powerful, but it has its limits. The rover drilled the rock “Cheyava Falls and stored a nucleus, nicknamed” Sapphire Canyon “, in a sealed sampling tube. It is one of the 27 tubes that the rover has filled to date and one of the highest candidates to be brought to the earth, where a much more exhaustive analysis could be done. This is where emotion collides with reality. The Mars Sample Return mission, designed to collect these samples and bring them home, is de facto canceled after the original mission budget was shot up to 11,000 million dollars with delays until 2040. The situation has forced NASA to look for faster and cheaper alternatives. That is, to ask for alternative proposals to the private industry and the JPL. But there is still no defined path. The cake widge. There is another surprising factor that raises the importance of this discovery. Until now, the dominant hypothesis suggested that possible signs of life should be sought in the oldest rocks of Mars. However, Bright Angel’s lodolites are among the younger sedimentary rocks that the mission has investigated. This opens a new and fascinating possibility: that Mars could have been habitable for a longer period of time or at a later stage in its history of what was thought.

The US government suspects that its general director is an ally of China

by

Lip-bu Tan, the general director of Intel, is in a very compromised position. His background plays against him. Before arriving at the company currently leading Cadence Design Systems directedan American company specialized in the development of software and hardware tools for Design and verify integrated circuits. Nothing suspicious here. The problem is that just a month ago, in July, the US Department of Justice condemned her to pay A fine of more than 140 million dollars for selling commercial secrets to China. However, there is a fact that complicates this scenario even more: According to this US institutionCadence Design Systems delivered this critical information to the National University of Defense Technology, a Chinese teaching and research center that is supervised by the Chinese army. In fact, the US Department of Commerce has included this university in its “blacklist” because presumably is involved in the development of the super -taders used by the Chinese army to simulate nuclear explosions. Intel’s general director has just given explanations at the White House Lip Bu-Tan Intel leads since March 2025but there is a crucial fact that we should not overlook: although this conflict has taken it out of Cadence Design Systems directed this company between 2009 and 2021. And this was the period in which according to the US Department of Justice there were the violations of export control by which this company has recently been condemned. In addition, the panorama is further complicated for the Director General of Intel if we are in mind that it seems to have invested in some 600 Chinese companies, and some of them are presumably linked to the Chinese army. According to The Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump and Intel’s general director have had a “face to face” just a few hours ago This last accusation It has been formulated by the American senator Tom Cotton in a letter addressed to the Board of Directors of Intel. According to CottonLip-Bu has used its risk capital company Walden International to “get participations in more than 600 Chinese companies, including Startups of chips that They supply the Chinese army“It is a very serious accusation. So much, in fact, that Bu has been forced to go to the White House to give explanations. According to The Wall Street JournalDonald Trump and the general director of Intel have had a “face to face” just a few hours ago. This meeting has had a double purpose. On the one hand he has given Lip-Bu so the opportunity to explain and clarify his involvement in the sale of commercial secrets to China for which Cadence Design Systems has been convicted. And, in addition, presumably Donald Trump has questioned him about his personal commitment and that of Intel with a priority objective for the US: the achievement of total independence in the manufacture of semiconductors. Intel is the biggest manufacturer of American chips, and, therefore, it is the best US option when competing in the production of integrated circuits with the Taiwanese company TSMC and the South Korean Samsung.

Intel pull the towel with the chips for ia. Its general director acknowledges that Nvidia’s advantage is insurmountable

by

“I think it is too late for us (to achieve the position of Nvidia in the field of artificial intelligence), Although we have other opportunities in this market (…) twenty or thirty years ago we were leaders. Now the world has changed. We are not among the ten main semiconductor companies. We have to be humble. “These words of Lip-Bu Tan, the Director General of Intel, have been collected by The Oregonian And they are aimed at company employees in a clear attempt to expose what challenges they face. The challenges with Those who are dealing Intel They exceed the other challenges that he has faced during his more than half a century of history. The leadership that has sustained for decades in the manufacturing industry of integrated circuits is in the hands of The Taiwanese company TSMC Since the mid -2000s. In addition, the stagnation during the last years of the PC market and the slowness with which Intel has participated in the AI industry have placed it in a very compromised position. In July 2024, the company that at that time led Pat Gelsinger gave a tremendous batacazo in the stock market. Their actions fell 30% in a few days and stabilized in the value they had in 2011. In addition, Intel lost $ 1.6 billion During the second quarter of 2024 and its year -on -year income fell by 1%. These circumstances triggered a crisis that still persists. Today China is a crucial support for Intel. Dram memories will be tomorrow Shortly after his arrival It was leaked that lip-bu so He planned to launch a new cut of the Intel template in a clear attempt to reduce their operating expenses, among which personnel costs or marketing expenses are counted. The figure that the company shuffled on this occasion amounted to 20% of its workforce, which in practice implied to dispense with approximately 20,000 workers. These people join the more than 15,000 employees of which Intel has dispensed with during the last months of 2024. In addition, since June 18 and throughout the month of July they will be forced to leave their jobs Between 8,000 and 10,900 workers Of the factories that this company has spread throughout the planet. However, presumably the most affected plant will be the largest of all: that of Oregon (USA). It is evident that Intel is going through a very difficult stage, although he still has some solid pillars to hold on. One of them is China. During the fiscal year of 2024, 29% of Intel’s turnover came from China, compared to the 24% of the US This Asian country is the largest market in which Intel is present. During the fiscal year of 2024 29% of its turnover He came from Chinacompared to 24% of the US. And is that of the 53,100 million dollars that This company entered Last year no less than 15,400 million arrived from China. These figures reflect very clearly how important the country led by Xi Jinping for Intel is. And also how sensitive it is to the geopolitical context. An important part of the Intel business is supported by the commercialization of relatively old integrated circuits that come from their mature lithography nodes. They are not at all avant -garde semiconductors, but they are still necessary. At the current tension situation between the US and China for this last country These mature integrated circuits are crucial. Chinese chip designers and manufacturers are capable of supply your own market With the mature chips needed by appliances, telecommunications or cars equipment, among other industries. However, many users, research centers and universities in China continue to use software for X86 and X86-64 processors, so at the moment they cannot do without the CPUs designed to execute it. Intel is currently benefiting from this need, although he is preparing another bet. An a priori accurate bet. And this American company has founded the Japanese investment group SoftBank A company specialized in the design and manufacture of memory chips. His name is Saimemory and he was born expressly to compete from you to you with SK Hynix, Samsung and Micron Technology. Your plan consists in developing A new type of dram memory Stacked high from some patents prepared by Intel and several Japanese research centers, among which is the University of Tokyo. Intel and Softbank have proposed to complete the development of a prototype and evaluate its viability from a technical point of view by 2027.

The failure of this science fiction film ended the career of a classic director and closed a study in a week

by

The arrival of computer animated cinema is not only cemented in great successes such as’Toy Story‘ and The advent of Pixar. They also came into play, at the time, box office failures such as ‘Titan AE’, an ambitious animated science fiction film whose resounding failure ended the race of the great Don Bluth, closed Fox’s animation department forever and meant one of the last nails in the coffin of traditional animation. From actors to drawings. 25 years ago recent Space Opera With real actors. The script had circulated through Hollywood for years without finding financing, until Fox Animation Studios decided to turn it into an animated film in 1997. Don Bluth and Gary Goldman were responsible for the commission, after successes such as ‘In search of the enchanted valley’ or ‘Anastasia’. What was I going. The film combined quite daring concepts of science fiction, especially within the animated cinema of the time, but with a more familiar style: in the year 3028, Drej aliens destroy the earth, forcing humanity to wander through space as refugees. Cale Tucker, separated from his father during evacuation, grows aimlessly until he discovers that he carries the map to find the Titan ship, capable of leading them to a new planet. Cale starts a search pursued by the Drej. Money hole. To start, Fox gave them 55 million dollars, but 30 vanished before startingin preproduction. Fox executives did not want in any case the film to pass 80 million dollars of budget, so they had to make the rest of the film with 50 million (which finally became 60). These budgetary restrictions He prevented them from capturing his initial vision of the film and 300 people from the Fox animation department were stalls on the street. Lower the quality. These mass layoffs forced Bluth and Goldman to take part in the animation to external studies, such as Povde Group, reality studios and Blue Sky. This led to one of the big problems of the film: the own identity fdalta to which they brought the multiple hands and studies involved, the mixture of traditional animation and CGI and the tone of the film, very adult sometimes, very childish on other occasions. The promotion of the film, somewhat erratic, participated in this doubtful tone, and finished certifying the failure. Batacazo at the box office. The film raised only 36.7 million worldwide, and According to an executivelosses 100 million for Fox. The disaster was such that only ten days after the premiere, Fox Animation definitely closed its doors, and the then executive director of Fox, Bill Mechanic, left his position a few weeks later. Goodbye, Don Bluth. Undoubtedly, the great loss for the cinema was the definitive folder to Don Bluth’s career, which as Goldman has not re -directed a film. He tried in the new century, especially, by way of Crowdfundingpretending to stand a movie based on the video game ‘Dragon’s Lair’ that never sets. But above all, ‘Titan AE’ was one of the last failures that condemned the traditional animation: the successes of Pixar and DreamWorks and the progressive collection of the Disney films precipitated a change of paradigm towards the CGI. Time has turned ‘Titan AE’ into a cult film, but in its day it literally supposed the end of an era. In Xataka | The figures suggest that the domain of blockbusters in Hollywood is not over.

The director of ‘Train to Busan’ signs this Korean thriller in Netflix that is among the most sinister of the platform

by

There is much talk about ‘adolescence’ in Netflix, but the platform catalog is overflowing with very different options from each other. This same weekend It has been released This stimulating ‘Revelation‘, which guarantees a good time of thriller in the purest Korean style: it is a morbid, intriguing, sinister and turning movie. In it we will meet a pastor of deep faith and believe together in divine revelations, which makes him suspect that a very specific person is responsible for a kidnapping case. To solve the case you will have to collaborate with a detectivewho lives tormented by his past: his dead sister’s ghost, which appears in chilling visions. Those responsible for ‘Revelation’ are not precisely unknown: Yeon Sang-Ho, director and coguionist, gained international fame with ‘Train to Busan’ and his sequelae, and has collaborated with Netflix previously with the fantastic and delusional ‘course to hell’, among others. Much eye for his animation films, especially the extraordinary ‘The Fake’, whose atmosphere in a small tent in which sermons are offered tremendously remembers one of the key spaces of ‘Revelation’. Korean cinema has become one of the most watched out of Asia, especially for the impact of its romantic series. But as the most cinephile sector knows, it all started with films such as ‘Old Boy’ or the foundational ‘Memories of Murder’, with which ‘revelation’ has some point in common. Especially that dark atmosphere of the rural Korea Where we are already used to the fact that, under a layer of apparent normality, the most heinous crimes take place.

This master and explosive mixture of drama, action and thriller, signed by the director of ‘The Raid’, is already in streaming

by

Gareth Evans is one of those little prolific creators but to those who should follow the track very, very closely. He drew the attention of the less complexed action cinema fans with the two incredible deliveries of ‘The Raid’, those epic of Thai brutality that revolutionized the martial arts cinema. After an interesting landing in Netflix with the unclassifiable ‘the apostle’, he focused his efforts on billing, ‘Gangs of London‘, a British gangster thriller who does not respond to the viewer. The series will premiere its third season on April 14 in Skyshowtime, so it is time to recover its first two vibrant In Skyshowtime (That at the moment it only has the first year available, although it is assumed that it will not take long to arrive the second) as In Movistar Plus+that does have the two initial seasons. An explosion of absolute violence, portraits without compassion, drama between characters to the limit and a visualization of completely revolutionary action. The series starts with the death of an important London mafia who has governed in the city’s underworld for two decades. His son takes the throne, which triggers a wave of violence, with even international repercussions. In this context, an undercover policeman begins to gain the trust of the organization, while the question of who has killed the king of organized crime floats in the environment. A starting point that we have already enjoyed on many other occasions, but exposed in a more vibrant way than ever: the intensity of the action (sometimes with unusual technical virguerías in a series of average budget such as this), the overwhelming of interpretations and scarce concessions that are made to the topics of the genre They give fruit a first thriller.

The director of ‘Independence Day’ and ‘Tomorrow’ produces this apocalyptic epic that has just come to streaming

by

If you are interested in catastrophes cinema, you have undoubtedly heard of Roland Emmerich: ‘Tomorrow’ or ‘2012’ until the most recent and hilarious ‘Moonfall’, his Cite has always been synonymous with the joggy and shameless show, as he demonstrated since his beginnings in classics such as ‘Independence Day’, ‘Universal Soldier’ ​​or ‘Stargate’. Now it comes to us To Filmin A film in which Emmerich assumed the role of a producer, but that maintains his vibrant rhythm and his vision of science fiction as a warning about our future: ‘The Colony‘. The film is directed by Tim Fehlbaum, which was already seen in a similar situation with ‘Hell’, in which a group of survivors had to protect themselves from the solar rays that had ended life on earth. Fehlhaum has also been nominated this year to the Oscar for Best Screenplay for his film about the kidnapping of several Israeli athletes in the 1972 Munich Olympics.
