Saban’s Power Rangers PG-13 ★★✩✩✩

It’s morphin’ time as the beloved franchise — about five teens with mysterious powers teaming up to battle an alien threat — gets an edgier (but still goofy) treatment that’s like a cross between Chronicle and The Breakfast Club. With Bryan Cranston as the group’s mentor, Zordon, and Elizabeth Banks as villan Rita Repulsa. AVAILABLE JUNE 27 ON: DVD, Blu-ray, itunes

CHIPS R ★★✩✩✩

Dax Shepard wrote, directed and stars (as Jon to Michael Peña’s Ponch) in this crassly comedic take on the retro TV show about California highway patrol officers. The antics (which include a lot of gay jokes) don’t live up to other buddy-cop reboots like Starsky & Hutch and 21 Jump Street. AVAILABLE JUNE 27 ON: DVD, Blu-ray, itunes Critic’s pick!

Okja TV-MA ★★★★✩

In this offbeat emotional adventure, a young girl (Seo-hyeon Ahn) from South Korea goes all-out to save her creature companion Okja from the clutches of a sinister CEO (Tilda Swinton), getting help from renegade animal-rights activists (including Paul Dano, Steven Yeun and Lily Collins). Don’t miss Jake Gyllenhaal in a scene-stealing turn as a demented reality TV host! AVAILABLE JUNE 28 ON: Netflix
