Outside of a handful of “Neon Channel” news segments there’s no real plot to Jydge, and as a old-fashioned twin-stick shooter it doesn’t need it. Basically the streets are riddled with crime, traditional law enforcement methods are ineffective and the Jydge initiative has been introduced to deal with the riff raff. Got it? Cool, let’s get to the action.

With a reported budget of US$165 million it should come as no surprise that the special effects are excellent, whether within the craft, the vastness of space or on alien worlds. As you’d suspect, the jump to 4K is most evident here with the film’s unique take on plausible science fiction elevated thanks to improved clarity. Some scenes are legitimately demo worthy if you feel like using something to show off your setup’s power.

Armed with the keyword needed to eliminate Romeo’s powers, Jesse and crew return to Beacontown to rescue the city and shut down the Admin once and for all. It starts fairly slow, as you’ll need to avoid being spotted — Romeo is impersonating you after all — and make your way up to the massive structure in the sky that likely houses the terminal where the code can be entered.

There are some acting heavyweights anchoring mother!, and their performances are by far the best part of the film. Lawrence does a great job as the lead, with the story told entirely through her perspective, and Pfeiffer is superb as the surgeon’s haughty wife, deftly blending spite, mockery and a healthy dose of clueless to create a truly reprehensible character.

Failures will pile up as the difficulty increases, but we rarely felt like the game had used any cheap tricks — with the exception of when alarms sound and enemies shoot at you just as they appear on screen — and levels are short enough that you’re rarely losing more than a minute of progress. In fact, much of the time it’s considerably less than that.

Visually, Dunkirk is fantastic, and a restrained script allows the film to tell much of its story with little or no dialogue. In doing this, Nolan makes the event the star attraction, rather than a specific group of soldiers. We’ve seen excellent war films and series before — Band of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan just to name a couple — but the minimal character development here allows for a different kind of focus.

Still the best of the bunch, the first Transformers film did a respectable job of resurrecting the feel of the cartoon by relying heavily on established Autobots and Decepticons as well as familiar story arcs, such as the confrontational relationship between Megatron and Starscream.
