The cast alone is reason to line up for Conclave. The psychological thriller from All Quiet on the Western Front helmer Edward Berger stars Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow, and Isabella Rossellini. These talents are so rightfully heralded for their stirring gravitas that what they're doing on-screen together is almost beside the point. However, the secrets at the center of this Vatican-set tale are rich with intrigue, sharp humor, and provocative plot twists. 

Based on Robert Harris' 2016 novel of the same name, Conclave takes the masses behind the velvet curtain for one of the Catholic church's most secretive traditions, the choosing of a new pope. When a pontiff dies, cardinal electors from around the globe convene in a papal conclave, where they vote for one of their ranks to ascend to become the earthly head of the church. 

Whatever conversations, debates, or politicking are had in this meeting remain behind closed doors — as do the cardinals themselves — while the world watches for them to send up white smoke to indicate the vote, and if the requisite two-thirds majority has been achieved. This is all the background a layman needs to enter Conclave. But those who grew up in the faith might find richer meanings in its whispered drama and jolting revelations.

A dark amusement might be inherent to seeing the English actor best known for playing the ultra-evil Voldemort in the Harry Potter movies portray a pious cardinal here. Of course, Fiennes has range, having leapt from that theatrical, hissing wizard to the Coen Bros' Hollywood spoof Hail, Caesar!, where he played a precise and annoyed director, to the flamboyant concierge of Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel. Fiennes can do everything from brash to buoyant, and here he is hemmed in by vestments and decorum. But the potential that he could explode brings a ringing tension to Conclave from the start. 

As Cardinal Thomas Lawrence, Fiennes is the film's hero, serving not only as the dean of the conclave, overseeing all its details, but also as an amateur detective, wheedling out the secrets that his brethren hide in hopes of being elected the new pope. This is not expressly in his job description, but when a concerning rumor surfaces as the conclave gathers, he feels compelled to sniff out the truth.

Among this college of cardinals are Aldo Bellini (a sublimely serene Stanley Tucci), a soft-spoken progressive who denounces homophobia and promotes a greater role for women in the church. Though an early favorite — as a much-beloved friend to the last pope — Aldo faces off against the ultra-conservative Tedesco (a perfectly pompous Sergio Castellitto), whose agenda is to push the church back into the dark ages with a Latin mass and a vehement rejection of cross-faith acceptance. Also in the mix is the suspiciously conciliatory Tremblay (an intriguingly slippery John Lithgow), the fiery Adeyemi (a snarling Lucian Msamati), and Benitez (a beatific Carlos Diehz), a young cardinal who is totally unknown to the others until the conclave. Among the lot of them, the category of Best Supporting Actor just got stacked, as the resentments, ambition, and resoluteness collide in intrigue and arguments.

Lawrence strives to conduct the conclave with dignity. But as shocking details about his brethren surface, his idealism is challenged with pragmatism. Should he out sins and corruption if it means breaking tradition? Does the end — naming a proper pope — justify the means? And truly, how do you rationalize electing a fallible person to a position that is infallible?

This is a movie that understands the complications of Catholicism, where reason collides with belief and human nature with divinity

Here's where I confess I'm a lapsed Catholic of decades. Still, I was swept up in Berger's shrewd direction, which meets the curiosity of those of us to whom the conclave has long been shrouded in mystique and mystery. While the plot of Conclave includes many scandalous elements, the characters are often restrained (or arguably repressed) in their reactions. Even when talking plainly about their personal politics, there's a careful reticence that I recognized from my years in church, its rectories, and Catholic school. 

This culture has a specific way of saying something without saying it. And Peter Straughan's script understands that, executing this delicacy brilliantly. Even the affable Aldo speaks in this hard-to-pin-down manner, saying he doesn't think parishioners should be told they have to have 10 kids, instead of saying what he really means: He'd be a pope who'd support birth control. That would be too radical to utter in the Vatican, and Conclave is well aware. Yet this keen reluctance to be frank also bolsters the film's central conflicts, where what lies beneath the surface could be prove polarizing. 

Behind these men's bright-red robes and regal posturing, they are as flawed as the rest of us (maybe more so). Conclave doesn't treat this as some sort of shock unto itself. Instead, the film holds a great deal of empathy for its complicated cardinals. In the terms of Catholicism, it may hate the sin, but not the sinner. Yet as our humble, fallible conduit, we see Lawrence struggle with this brand of radical acceptance. We see his eyes ignite when he uncovers treachery. We feel his heart break when a skeleton clatters out of a metaphorical closet. In these moments of internal turmoil, it's easy to imagine the Oscar sizzle reel for Best Actor.

Not everyone is as willing to forgive, and here is where Rossellini, as a nun who serves in the Vatican, excels. Where these men swan around as lords of the manor, she and her sisters are to be seen but not heard. But they'll hear her. The humor of Conclave is subtle, carefully picking its punchlines to lighten its hard-hitting homily. But when Rossellini's Sister Agnes delivers a tight-lipped speech before the cardinals and completes it with a curt bow, that small gesture hits like a mic drop. It's liberating in its fine-point hilarity. 

In the end, Conclave is not a story about sin or secrets but about moving forward. When the dust has settled — or the smoke has risen — who will we be with the choices we've made? The best bit of Berger's film might be that it gives a nuanced answer for its hero, Lawrence, who holds the film's quiet final moment with a poignant power. But for the viewer, we are left to wonder not just what we might have done, but who we are in the face of the film's final reveal. 

Conclave was reviewed out of the Toronto International Film Festival; it will open in select theaters Nov. 1.

When Relic Entertainment dropped Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine back in 2011, it quickly carved out a niche as one of those solid, under-the-radar action games of the sixth-gen era. Sure, it wasn’t the most mind-blowing title on the shelf—more of a straightforward, linear hack-and-slash—but that didn’t stop it from being a perfect gateway drug into the chaotic, sprawling universe of Warhammer 40K.

Over the years, Space Marine developed a cult following, particularly among 40K fans hungry for more video game adaptations of their favorite universe. For more than a decade, players clamored for a follow-up. With so much potential left on the table, the question lingered: why hasn’t this game gotten the sequel it so clearly deserves?

Now, Saber Interactive has answered that call with Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2—a sequel that aims to be bigger, bolder, and more bombastic than its predecessor. Space Marine 2 retains the blood-soaked, brutal gameplay of the original, but with a much stronger emphasis on cooperative play, allowing players to team up with friends and tackle massive swarms of enemies together. The result? A slicker, more polished experience that fully embraces the scale and chaos of the Warhammer 40K universe, bringing the series to new heights while building on the foundation of what made the original special.

This section may contain mild spoilers for 'Space Marine' and 'Space Marine 2'.

Space Marine 2 marks the long-awaited return of Captain Demetrian Titus—recently reinstated to the Ultramarines as a Primaris (an enhanced, genetically upgraded version of a standard Space Marine). At the end of Space Marine, he was dragged off in chains for the crime of resisting the lure of chaos, accused of heresy by the Imperium. Fast-forward a century of brutal torture, and another hundred years serving a self-imposed penance in the Deathwatch, and Titus is back on the front lines. His shot at redemption? A planet on the brink of annihilation thanks to a Tyranid invasion, with a top-secret superweapon lurking in the background.

But it’s not all heroics and glory. Titus has to fight not only the swarming Tyranids and Forces of Chaos but also the cold skepticism of his Ultramarines brothers—suspicious of his sudden appearance and secret service record.

This might not be your stop if you’re hoping for rich character development or villains with layered motivations. Titus and his squadmates, Chairon and Gadriel, are essentially overpowered, oversized death machines being shuffled from one apocalyptic mission to the next, playing the part of glorified, blood-soaked errand boys for their commanders.

And yet, within the bleak, war-torn confines of the Warhammer 40K universe, the lack of nuance in the plot doesn't feel like much of an issue. In all fairness, these are Ultramarines we’re talking about—stoic, rule-obsessed supersoldiers devoted to the Codex Astartes like it’s a holy scripture. That’s translated in-game as military bro-speak dialed up to eleven. Their sole purpose? To kill. Over and over. And over again.

So yeah, don’t expect philosophical musings on the horrors of war. Instead, Space Marine 2 delivers what the universe demands: a swift 6-to-8-hour campaign packed with righteous, violent efficiency. War and death are the only constants here, and Titus knows the script well. Kill first, ask no questions later.

The campaign of Space Marine 2 assumes a baseline understanding of the Warhammer 40K universe, with little to no hand-holding when it comes to the deep lore. There’s no in-game codex or glossary to explain the various factions or enemies you face, which can leave newcomers feeling a bit lost. Considering the massive hype surrounding the game, this feels like a missed opportunity. For a title that could easily serve as an entry point into the 40K universe, it would’ve been great to include explanations on the different factions or enemies—especially when it comes to key antagonists like the Thousand Sons legion, who take center stage in the latter half of the campaign.

Space Marine 2 builds on its predecessor in every conceivable way, especially in the combat department. Where the original game often felt a bit floaty, Space Marine 2 delivers satisfying weight and impact with every swing, smash, and stab. As Captain Titus, you'll gradually unlock a robust arsenal of melee and ranged weapons, making every fight feel visceral and dynamic.

On the melee front, you'll wield iconic tools of destruction like the chainsword, power sword, sledgehammer, and combat knife. The Boltgun is your go-to for ranged combat, available in different variations with scopes, grenade launchers, and beefier ammo. The arsenal also includes the Bolt Pistol, the Melta (a close-range, shotgun-like flamethrower), and devastating one-use heavy weapon variants of the Boltgun and Melta.

Space Marine 2 delivers jaw-dropping, dynamic set pieces, as its core gameplay revolves around battling relentless swarms of Tyranids—vicious, hive-minded aliens hellbent on devouring every shred of biomatter in the universe. In the heat of combat, you’ll face smaller Tyranids that swarm and claw at you while simultaneously fending off larger, sword-wielding brutes, making every encounter a chaotic survival dance.

At the heart of the combat system are the parry and execution mechanics. Simple in practice, enemies telegraph their moves with color-coded indicators—blue for parryable attacks and orange for those you’ll need to dodge. A perfect parry will instantly kill smaller enemies, while larger foes get stunned, allowing for a quick, satisfying gunshot finish. Mastering this is key, as Titus can soak up damage fast. Like the first game, you have a health bar and shield, but your health doesn’t regenerate—you’ll need to rely on sparse health pickups. Instead, keeping your shields intact is crucial, which can only be done through executions. Once you’ve chipped away at larger enemies through strikes and parries, you can pull off brutal glory kills, which restore your shields. You can do this on smaller enemies too, though it’s hit or miss.

Weirdly, when playing co-op this creates a scramble for execution kills since your health and shields tend to whittle down fast. I understand the intent from the developers is to basically "git gud" at the dodge and parry mechanics but it's almost impossible to do that with the amount of range and melee enemies all coalescing on you at one time.

This melee-heavy combat loop, while thrilling at first, can become repetitive, especially when playing solo. As you fend off the constant barrage of enemies—both melee and ranged—it’s clear the game is designed with a PvE co-op experience in mind. With friends, this chaotic swarm combat feels intense and strategic. But playing alone, as I did, it often felt more like a slog: I was either overwhelmed by the enemy hordes or frustrated by the underwhelming AI companions that left me to handle most of the heavy lifting. This isn't me saying I'm bad at the game, but it does feel the Saber Interactive didn't balance the game well enough for the single-player experience.

Each mission will have you return to the Battle Barge, which serves as the community hub where you can change weapons and switch game modes. Space Marine 2 offers three main modes: The campaign, Operations Mode which is the main PvE experience, and Eternal War, which is the game's PvP offering.

Operations Mode Credit: Saber Interactive / Focus Entertainment

Operations Mode is the true core of Space Marine 2, offering eight missions that run parallel to the events of the main campaign. In these missions, you take on the role of a squad of Space Marines handling secondary objectives that directly aid Titus and his team. Along with Eternal War, these modes are where you can gain XP and points to buy gear, weapons, and armor skins to upgrade for your Space Marine.

The standout feature here is the ability to play as your own fully customizable Space Marine across six unique classes, each with its own distinct set of weapons and perks. The Tactical class is your versatile all-rounder, capable of using most weapons. The Bulwark is a defensive powerhouse, armed with a shield to block incoming damage. The Sniper excels at long-range precision, while the Assault class, equipped with a jump pack, thrives in aerial melee combat. The Heavy class is your go-to for carrying the biggest, most devastating weapons, and the Vanguard is a hybrid of Tactical and Assault, able to grapple enemies and take them down with fast-paced mobility.

No two runs of a mission in Space Marine 2's Operations Mode will ever feel quite the same. Larger enemies can call in relentless swarms if you don’t stop them in time, and special enemy types can randomly appear to throw even more chaos into already intense battles. This unpredictability keeps the action fresh and ensures each mission feels dynamic.

However, much like the campaign, these missions are best experienced with friends. As the main PvE content that will likely fuel countless viral clips on TikTok, these missions can be frustrating to play solo. There are no checkpoints, and once again, the AI teammates are lackluster at best. What’s more, you can’t choose your AI companions’ classes—they’re automatically assigned based on your own class choice. For instance, when I played with the Assault class, the AI chose a Bulwark and a Sniper to fill out the team, often leading to unbalanced strategies.

Currently, there are only eight missions, but with Saber Interactive’s season pass structure, it’s safe to expect more content in the future.

Eternal War Credit: Saber Interactive / Focus Entertainment

In contrast to Operations Mode, Eternal War is Space Marine 2's PvP multiplayer offering, featuring 6v6 team battles where players can choose to fight as either the loyal Adeptus Astartes or the traitorous Heretic Astartes. Unfortunately, this mode feels like the sparsest part of the game, with only three match types and three maps. The modes themselves are pretty standard: Annihilation (Team Deathmatch), Seize Ground (Domination), and Capture and Control (King of the Hill).

One glaring issue is the balance—or lack thereof. You can use the same six classes from Operations Mode, which works great in PvE, but in PvP, it creates a mess. Some classes are vastly overpowered when pitted against others, leading to unbalanced matches. These classes complement each other well in co-op, but head-to-head, they feel awkwardly mismatched.

Another downside is that melee combat, which shines in single-player and co-op, loses all its impact against real players, making it almost useless in PvP. It’s a shame because, with more time and thoughtful tweaks, Eternal War has the potential to be fun. As it stands, it feels like a tacked-on afterthought rather than a fully fleshed-out experience.

Space Marine 2 performance Credit: Saber Interactive / Focus Entertainment

Like its hulking death-dealing warriors, Space Marine 2 runs like a well-oiled machine—most of the time. Playing on PlayStation 5, I encountered only a few technical hiccups, but they stood out when they happened. One memorable instance occurred during a mission set inside an Adeptus Mechanicus facility. While fending off waves of Tyranid enemies and swarming Rippers—tiny, maggot-like creatures that cover the entire floor and can, at times, entwine themselves like a Rat King to attack you—there’s a visually intense scene with lightning flashing everywhere as you power up a generator. It was chaotic and where the framerate took a noticeable dip, even in performance mode.

The most frustrating issue, though, came during the final boss fight. The boss glitched, getting stuck in a loop of endlessly summoning Chaos enemies. It was a section where you’re supposed to dodge until the next phase, but instead, for 20 agonizing minutes, my AI companions and I stood on the edge of the arena while the boss mindlessly hurled projectiles at us. Needless to say, it was a huge letdown.

One of the most impressive feats in Space Marine 2 is how smoothly it handles swarms of enemies on screen, all while maintaining a steady 60fps. Saber Interactive, the team behind the fairly forgettable World War Z (2019), clearly brought some technical expertise from that project into this one. While World War Z might have been mediocre overall, it was notable for its zombies’ ability to pile up and scale walls. That same tech finds new life in Space Marine 2, where massive Tyranid swarms often tumble over each other in a frantic attempt to reach you and your squad.

Visually and technically, these moments are jaw-dropping and serve as some of the game’s biggest highlights. Even more impressive, during certain missions, you can see these swarms in the distance, crawling over the horizon like a living tide, creating an unnerving backdrop that constantly reminds you of the scale of the threat. It’s impossible to look away, and it adds a palpable tension to the already intense action.

Is Space Marine 2 worth it? Credit: Saber Interactive / Focus Entertainment

If you’re a fan of Warhammer 40K or enjoyed the original Space Marine, then Space Marine 2 is absolutely worth your time. The game is a clear evolution of its predecessor, with combat that feels more impactful, smoother, and downright visceral. The weight behind every swing of your chainsword or shot from your Boltgun is satisfying, and the set pieces, especially when facing swarms of Tyranids, are both visually impressive and technically remarkable. Saber Interactive has done an excellent job crafting massive, chaotic battles that run smoothly, even with countless enemies on screen.

That said, there are some issues. While the campaign is enjoyable, it can feel a little shallow at times, with repetitive mission structures and a lack of deep narrative. The lack of any lore explainer for newcomers is also a missed opportunity, especially considering how massive the 40K universe is. The absence of checkpoints in Operations and inconsistent AI in solo play can make some missions frustrating, and the PvP multiplayer modes, feel tacked on and unbalanced. Melee combat in PvP is practically useless, and the mode itself is the weakest aspect of the game.

Despite these shortcomings, Space Marine 2 still delivers on what matters most in a Warhammer game: brutal, high-octane combat in a war-torn universe. The co-op PvE missions shine when played with friends, and the spectacle of battling massive Tyranid swarms is an experience in itself. Saber Interactive has laid a solid foundation with the promise of more content to come, so if you’re in it for the PvE action and 40K immersion, the game is definitely worth picking up. Just be aware that it’s best enjoyed with a squad, and the multiplayer modes could use some refining.

After two years, unionized Apple Store workers in Oklahoma finally reached a tentative agreement with the tech company on Friday.

The tentative agreement guarantees a wage increase of up to 11.5 percent over three years, paid time off, and job protection. Workers at the Penn Square Mall Apple Store voted to form a union with Communication Workers of America (CWA) in 2022. It's the second Apple Store to unionize.

"Today, my 80 coworkers and I have just secured a tentative agreement with the world’s most profitable corporation. For more than a year, we stood strong at the bargaining table because we knew that by standing together we could secure the pay raises, protections, and benefits we deserve," said Kirsten Matson, a member of the Apple Retail Union-CWA in a press release. "It’s thanks to our work that Apple retail stores are the most profitable retail stores per square foot across any industry—and we finally have an agreement that will ensure we earn our fair share for our work."

The Towson Town Center Apple Store workers in Maryland became the first Apple Store to unionize in 2022. At the time there was a flurry of unionizing among workers in the tech industry with workers at both the Grand Central Apple Store in New York City and Cumberland Mall Apple Store outside of Atlanta making moves to unionize. But only the Oklahoma and Maryland stores ultimately unionized.

There's a new rumor about the next-generation Apple Watch models that may excite users who have been crossing their fingers for more sleep health tools.

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, a reliable leaker and Apple analyst, the Cupertino-based tech giant may unveil a sleep apnea monitor at the Sept. 9 "Glowtime" event.

SEE ALSO: Apple Watch 10: Everything we know so far, including blood pressure monitor rumor Apple Watch rumor: New sleep apnea sensor

Mashable has been tracking Apple Watch rumors for quite some time now, and initially, according to several Bloomberg reports, Apple was reportedly considering three health-focused sensors for the wearable:

• a blood glucose monitor

• a blood-pressure tracker

• a sleep apnea sensor

However, it looks like only one of those three health features has made the cut for the 2024 models. As mentioned at the outset, the next-gen Apple Watch models are reportedly gaining a new sleep apnea sensor. For the uninitiated, sleep apnea is a common condition in which an individual's breathing "repeatedly stops and starts" many times during sleep, according to Mayo Clinic.

The sleep apnea sensor will reportedly build upon the current sleep-tracking offerings on the Apple Watch.

According to Gurman, the new health tool will have the ability to analyze whether a user is suffering from sleep apnea — and then prompt the wearer to seek further testing with a medical professional.

The sleep apnea sensor is expected to roll out to the Apple Watch Series 10 and Apple Watch Ultra 3. However, according to Gurman, it will not be available day one.

There are whispers that Apple may also be unveiling the next-generation Apple Watch SE at the Glowtime event, but there's a good chance that it will not feature the reported new sleep apnea sensor.

You can pick from hundreds of area codes across the U.S. and Canada, and the app lets you do everything from customizing your voicemail to setting up call forwarding. Plus, it uses WiFi or data for calls, so you’re not hit with extra service charges. With a plan that includes 7,000 texts or 1,250 call minutes a year, it’s perfect for keeping up with everything without giving out your real number. There's also a 1,000-minute option if you need a little more flexibility in your calling for a lower price.

Managing your new number is a breeze with Hushed. The app keeps everything in one spot, so you can handle your calls and texts without jumping between different apps. And since your Hushed number is good for a lifetime, it's a reliable option for the long haul. Just remember to use it at least once every six months to keep it active. While it’s not set up for emergency calls or certain verification services, Hushed is a solid pick if you want to keep your personal number private and your communications in check.

The iPhone 16 is on the horizon, and among consumers who are getting ready to make the purchase plunge, they have one question: "What's the iPhone 16's price?"

The good news is that, according to a forecast report from TrendForce, the iPhone 16 entry-model is expected to have the same starting price of $799. Same for the iPhone 16 Plus; it's expected to match the iPhone 15 Plus.

However, when it comes to the upper-tier models, there may be a different story.

SEE ALSO: iPhone 16 rumored colors — every expected shade from 'Pink' to 'Desert Titanium' iPhone 16 price: How much will it cost?

According to TrendForce, here are the prices for the iPhone 16 models:

• iPhone 16 (128GB) - $799

• iPhone 16 (256GB) - $899

• iPhone 16 (512GB) - $1,099

• iPhone 16 Plus (128GB) - $899

• iPhone 16 Plus (256GB) - $999

• iPhone 16 Plus (512GB) - $1,199

• iPhone 16 Pro (256GB) - $1,099

• iPhone 16 Pro (512GB) - $1,299

• iPhone 16 Pro (1TB) - $1,499

• iPhone 16 Pro Max (256GB) - $1,199

• iPhone 16 Pro Max (512GB) - $1,399

• iPhone 16 Pro (1TB) - $1,599

As mentioned, it appears that the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will match their predecessors' starting price. However, the iPhone 16 Pro is getting a price hike — kind of.

With the iPhone 16 Pro series, you can no longer snag a 128GB model for $999, according to TrendForce. Rumor has it that Apple is eliminating the 128GB variant for the iPhone 16 Pro, making the 256GB configuration the new base model. (Something similar happened with the iPhone 15 Pro Max last year.)

In other words, the cheapest iPhone 16 Pro you can get is a 256GB variant that will set you back $1,099.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max is expected to have the same starting price as its predecessor: $1,199.

If you're reading this, you're looking for a little help playing Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game.

Strands requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.

SEE ALSO: Mahjong, Sudoku, free crossword, and more: Play games on Mashable

By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.
