Though we do our best to keep across upcoming sci-fi content, this one crept up on and took us by surprise - a big budget all star cast Apple TV anthology series casting us decades into the future to get up close and personal with climate change.

Extrapolations, written, directed and executive produced by Contagion writer Scott Z. Burns. Trailer available.

This week Batman joins two Barrys to save the world in The Flash movie, more details on the next Guardians of the Galaxy, gameplay released for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, dating, scavenging and light-swords (not sabers!) in rom-combat game Eternights, a green comet spotted in Australian skies, Star Trek: Picard comes home and the latest sci-fi TV news.

Early critic reviews are in and Marvel's Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania is sitting on a 58% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Making it the second lowest rated Marvel Cinematic Universe film, behind only Eternals.

Here's something we weren't expecting - a live action trailer for retro futuristic action roleplaying game Atomic Heart starring Jensen Ackles (The Boys, Supernatural).

Mocking ineffectual wizardry by showcasing some of the game's technological weaponry. Fantasy counterpart Hogwarts Legacy set in the Harry Potter universe is currently topping sales charts.

Amidst the mini-cyclone of allegations laid against Ezra Miller in recent years and rampant misreporting of DC having fired him as The Flash, there has been a consistent note in Warner Bros. PR response.

The Flash film looks super good. Implied is that it's so good that it has to be seen no matter the outcry. Warner Bros. have now released its trailer.

Another week, another Marvel blockbuster. Well not quite but this week we have both Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania hitting cinemas and a new trailer for the next in line, Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 3.

If you've seen the previous two films it's about what you'd expect. Though the final gag almost made us gag.

Apocalyptic romcom(bat) game Eternights has been given a Winter (Oz) release window and there's a trailer with new gameplay.

Romance sims aren't our cup of tea but we do appreciate the bright neon-punk art style.

IGN are doing one of their signature First's for upcoming souls-like action adventure Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, sequel to 2019's Fallen Order.

Bringing us 9 minutes of non-continuous gameplay and some details on enemies players will encounter.

This evening a green comet will be visible two moon widths from Mars from our perspective but over 100 times further away than the moon.

Comet 2022 E3 (ZTF) is a rare event and probably worth stepping outside and taking a quick look up - if you've a telescope or binoculars - ideally after sunset but before moonrise.

Amazon have renewed virtual time travel series The Peripheral for a second season, saying pretty much nothing else on that point.

Finally pushed out of the airlock, however, is HBO's Avenue 5. Deadline reported the series probably finished in May last year well ahead of its season two screening.
