New releases for Aug. 5

  Before his death, science fiction titan Arthur C. Clarke teamed with Frederik Pohl to create “The Last Theorem,” the story of Ranjit Subramanian’s obsession with mathematics.
  Ranjit’s genius puts him in the cross hairs of government agencies, and he and his family find themselves swept up in extraordinary events as the human race faces extermination from aliens.
