Venom Movie Rating and Runtime Revealed

The upcoming Venom film has been confirmed to have a running time of 1 hour and 52 minutes, and has been rated PG-13 by the MPAA.

As reported by Collider (and verified by AMC), the nearly two-hour long film will not be rated R, despite hopes fans had that it would follow in Deadpool and Logan’s footsteps.

Though perhaps disappointing for some, this news has been expected for some time. Sony had been pushing for a PG-13 rating from the beginning, even if Venom’s director and lead actor weren’t so sure. Reports claimed Sony wanted to push the content in the movie right up to the edge of an R-rating without actually getting into the 17-and-over age bracket.

Now that the HDR format is becoming more commonplace in new games, more and more display manufacturers are finding ways to work the technology into more affordable monitors. BenQ has done just that with the reasonably priced EW3270U (See it on Amazon), which is a 32-inch monitor with a 3840 x 2160 (4K) resolution, HDR10 compatibility, and 10-bit color. If those sound like impressive specs for a display that costs $600, you are absolutely correct—most UHD HDR monitors of this size are over $1,000. But a spec sheet only tells part of the story, so I spent some time with the EW3270U to see if it’s worthy of taking up space on your desk.

The Top 15 WWE Hell in a Cell Matches

Six Big Surprises from Apple’s 2018 iPhone Reveal

Be sure to visit IGN Tech for all the latest comprehensive hands-on reviews and best-of roundups.  

Apple’s “Gather Round” event yesterday was a highly anticipated event for Apple fans since it’s always fascinating to see what the company has been working on lately. A company with Apple’s resources is seemingly always capable of unveiling a few surprises, so every event they hold has a lure of “one more thing” or something totally unexpected like last year’s iPhone X (despite leaks). This year’s event didn’t provide much in the way of “oh wow” moments, but there were a few surprises at least, but not all of them were positive.

Miles Morales is having a huge year. Not only is Miles a major character in Insomniac’s Spider-Man game and the star of the upcoming animated movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, his comic series is due for a major relaunch at the end of the year.
