  • Here’s Why John Wick Chapter 4 is more than a movie – It’s the G.A.M.E (Greatest Action Movie Ever)

    Here’s Why John Wick Chapter 4 is more than a movie – It’s the G.A.M.E (Greatest Action Movie Ever)

    What makes a movie the Greatest Action Movie Ever? Is it jaw-dropping fight choreography? Precision-timed stunts? Or a hero so iconic that their very name sends shivers down your spine? With John Wick: Chapter 4, the answer is clear: it’s all of the above.

    Keanu Reeves’ return as the relentless assassin, solidifying John Wick as a true action phenomenon. Praised as “a love letter to action cinema” (Empire) and “pure, over-the-top action spectacle” (The Hollywood Reporter), John Wick 4elevates everything fans loved about its predecessors and levels up in every way imaginable. And now, you can experience this cinematic masterpiece of mayhem in all its glory, exclusively on Lionsgate Play.

    Lionsgate Play John Wick 4

    4 Reasons why Chapter 4 is the G.A.M.E.

    The fourth instalment of the John Wick saga isn’t just another sequel – It’s a symphony of cinematic carnage. With its signature blend of inventive set pieces, revenge-thriller vibes and of course, the charming Reeves, John Wick Chapter 4 is hailed as the crowning jewel of the franchise. With a staggering 94% score on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s officially the highest-rated installment. Here’s why it is  the ‘Greatest Action Movie Ever’.

    1. Action that redefines the genre

    Every fight sequence is meticulously choreographed – so fluid and precise, it’s like watching a deadly ballet. Director Chad Stahelski, himself a stuntman, frames every movement with an elegance reminiscent of Fred Astaire—if Fred Astaire wielded nunchucks.

    2. World-building on steroids

    From the neon-clad streets of Osaka to the romantic devastation of Paris, John Wick Chapter 4 expands its universe like never before. The High Table’s shadowy empire grows pulling you deeper into its labyrinth of conspiracies.

    3. Keanu Reeves – An unstoppable hero with a zen edge

    Critics praise Reeves saying “barrels through the picture with equal parts rampaging force and Zen-like cool” (Los Angeles Times). Reeves is the hero we all want to be: calm, precise, and unbreakable.

    4. The late Lance Reddick’s final bow

    The late Lance Reddick’s final performance as Charon, the ever-loyal concierge, adds a poignant weight to Chapter 4. His presence is a reminder that, beneath all the gunfire and mayhem, John Wick is ultimately a story about loyalty, honor, and humanity.

    A franchise that changed action movies forever

    When John Wick hit theaters in 2014, no one could have predicted the impact it would have on American action cinema. What began as a lean revenge story about a man and his dog has evolved into an epic saga blending high-octane stunts with a mythical narrative. Rolling Stone aptly calls it “the most reliable film franchise this side of Mission: Impossible.”

    The fourth chapter doesn’t just continue the story, but raises the stakes while bringing out the big guns—literally and figuratively. While Reeves and the late Reddick anchor the film, Donnie Yen, Bill Skarsgård, and Laurence Fishburneadd to the film’s firepower. Yen stuns as the formidable Caine, blending deadly precision with sly humor. Skarsgård’s Marquis oozes cold menace, and Fishburne’s Bowery King brings grit and rebellion with his commanding presence.

    The cast’s performance, along with the visual flair and over-the-top action, has resulted in an installment that has been described by critics as “more stylish, more elegant and more bonkers” (Associated Press) than its predecessors. Bottom line: it’s a feat of cinematic excess that will leave you breathless.

    Dive into the chaos, elegance, and pure adrenaline of John Wick: Chapter 4 as it premieres on Lionsgate Play this March 14.

  • Lenovo™ at MWC 2025: Expanding the Boundaries of AI-Powered Creativity, Productivity, and Innovation

    Lenovo™ at MWC 2025: Expanding the Boundaries of AI-Powered Creativity, Productivity, and Innovation

    Today at MWC 2025, Lenovo announced new Yoga and IdeaPad AI laptops, alongside software and innovative new proofs of concept visuals and accessories that leverage the power of AI to supercharge creativity and productivity for consumers. With a greater selection of Copilot+1 AI PCs offering AI-enabled experiences like Windows Studio Effects, new NVIDIA GPU options for heavy-duty processing tasks, and new Lenovo Aura Edition laptops imagined with Intel that streamline the PC experience, Lenovo’s new Yoga and IdeaPad laptops make creating, completing tasks, and enjoying content seamless, simple, and fun. Lenovo’s new AI laptops, software, and concepts unveiling at MWC continue to expand on the company’s wide AI portfolio, embodying its promise to deliver Smarter Technology for All – combining cutting-edge innovation, user-centric versatility, and exceptional value to meet the needs of more consumers.

    “As we push the limits of AI innovation higher than ever, it is important to remember that delivering access to AI for all is equally a core tenet of Lenovo’s philosophy. Likewise, as we endeavor to redefine the boundaries of power in technology, we must ensure that it continues to be a positive force,” said Jun Ouyang, Lenovo’s Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Consumer Segment, Intelligent Devices Group. “With the announcement of innovations like the Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition, the IdeaPad Slim 3x, and the Lenovo Yoga Solar PC Concept, Lenovo has delivered a suite of new devices and proofs of concept that empower end users to let their creativity shine, their ‘process’ unbounded by the processing of their PC thanks to AI-powered innovation.”

    Picture2

    Yoga Solar PC Concept (POC)—A PC Powered by the Sun

    The Yoga Solar PC proof of concept is designed for those who turn any space—indoors or outdoors—into a productive workspace. The device aims to bridge the gap between functionality and environmental awareness and represents Lenovo’s vision of achieving a future where renewable energy and innovation are intrinsically intertwined. The device represents a step towards this goal by featuring a solar panel with an over 24% conversion rate—one of the highest in the industry.

    This conversion rate is achieved by leveraging ‘Back Contact Cell’ technology, which moves mounting brackets and gridlines to the back of the solar cells, maximizing the active absorption. The breakthrough Dynamic Solar Tracking system constantly measures the solar panel’s current and voltage, working with the Solar-First Energy system to automatically adjust the charger’s settings to prioritize sending the harvested energy to the system, helping to ensure maximum energy-savings and system stability regardless of light intensity. Even in low-light conditions, the panel can still generate power, sustaining battery charge when the PC is idle.

    Picture3

    This innovation allows the solar panel to absorb and convert enough direct sunlight in 20 minutes to power up to one hour of video playback on the PC2. And at 15mm thin and just 1.22kg, the thin and light Yoga Solar PC Concept is the world’s first ultraslim solar-powered PC3 and is an important step in realizing Lenovo’s aspiration to empower a future where creating on a PC can be done anywhere the light touches.

    Two New Lenovo Yoga AI Laptops Added to Lenovo Aura Edition—Imagined with Intel

    Lenovo Aura Edition imagined with Intel is the result of a multi-year collaborative development process between Lenovo and Intel to create a set of distinct software, hardware, and AI features that streamline the PC experience and make computing a more personalized, productive, and protected experience.
