Ultimately, the film represents a full circle for postmodernism, in that a love letter to the 1980s has been directed by an icon of the 1980s. For some, the nostalgia hit from watching Spielberg cobble together some interesting set-pieces – the aforementioned horror-movie one being an easy highlight – and present a visual feast from start to finish peppered with an endless array of pop culture references will simply be enough.

If you’re a fan, then you’re probably going to enjoy Rogue Nation – the film starts with a heady action sequence, and doesn’t stop as one sequence follows another with staccato precision.
