Dark Matter Season 2’s world without the internet isn’t as dystopian as it sounds
Head, Person, Face

A world without the internet would ordinarily rank pretty low among the alternate realities most people would willingly choose to live in. For Jason Dessen (Joel Edgerton), his wife Daniela (Jennifer Connelly), and their son Charlie, however, it may be exactly what they need. After everything the family has been through, they aren't looking for a better life anymore. They need a life that is harder to find.

Season 2 has put the Dessens in an unusual position. Jason spent most of the first season trying to get back to Daniela and Charlie after Jason2 stole his life, travelling through the Box and encountering more versions of himself along the way. He finally got his family back, only for the danger to follow them. After taking on new identities and moving to another reality, seven months of relative safety ended when another Jason found them.

Amazon Prime Video’s latest trick is natural lip-sync for dubbed audio
At last, translated audio will look natural on the actors' faces. And yeah, AI is involved.
Amazon Prime Video lip-sync technology

I have watched plenty of stuff on streaming platforms where the translated audio doesn't feel natural on the faces of the actors appearing on the screen. It just looks odd and takes away the fun from watching dubbed films and TV shows. I would prefer to watch content with the original audio and see the translated captions, rather than deal with the asynchrony between the audio and facial expressions. Amazon finally has a solution.

The company is launching a new lip-sync technology on Prime Video that will use AI and VFX to sync the lip movement of actors so that they appear to naturally speak the dialog, even if it has been translated and dubbed from another language. The technology is making its debut with the first and second seasons of Maxton Hall, and will also be used when the third season premieres on the platform.

Nominated for the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, Hope delivers a suspenseful, gory, and action-packed adventure in the vein of Jaws and Attack on Titan. Having already premiered in South Korea, the movie has received a 78% "Fresh" rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes.
