Sega’s spikey speedster returns in SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2 (out now, 4K/Blu-ray/DVD/ download). This time Jim Carrey’s Dr Robotnik has teamed-up with Knuckles (Idris Elba), a red echidna with fists the size of hams, to find the Master Emerald, a relic that allows people to bend reality to their will. We said: “Twenty minutes longer and about 50% louder than its predecessor… Struggles to reprise the winning formula.” Extras include director’s commentary, deleted scenes and a six-minute short. Stephen King’s 1980 novel about a lass with pyrokinetic powers gets adapted again in FIRESTARTER (15 August, Blu-ray/DVD), the work of Keith Thomas, director of excellent Jewish-themed horror The Vigil. We said: “Finds nothing new to do, besides throw in a load of dodgy CG flames… Ryan Kiera Armstrong brings a subtle edge to her work, but around her it’s clichés all the way.” Extras include an alternate ending, deleted scenes and gag reel. Gloomy Serbian horror THE POND (out now, DVD) centres on a widowed professor researching a metaphysical theory on an island. Shot using a muted grey-brown palette and stuffed with symbolism, it has some striking imagery, like a man in a mask made of branches. Admirers of Andrei Tarkovsky may have the necessary patience, but it’ll prove too cryptic for the average viewer. Finally, the latest TV releases include THE MIDWICH CUCKOOS (out now, Blu-ray/DVD), OUTLANDER SEASON SIX (5 September, Blu-ray/DVD) and RESIDENT ALIEN SEASON ONE (out now, Blu-ray/DVD).
