Universal 4K. David Leitch directing the Fast & Furious spinoff with Statham and The Rock. S-Tier transfer. The film plays more as a buddy action comedy than a Fast film and collectors tend to own it separately from the main franchise set.

dir. J.J. Abrams

A-Tier Paramount 4K. J.J. Abrams' MI entry with Philip Seymour Hoffman as the villain, and part of the matching 1-6 steelbook re-release set from July. People are building custom display cases for the MI steelbook collection. The series artwork consistency became a talking point when Fast & Furious was cited as the standard for keeping steelbook art matching across entries.

A-Tier 4K. Ritchie's steampunk Holmes aged well and the fight scene photography in HDR is the selling point. Occasionally turns up unopened in $2 USD bins.

A-Tier 4K. HDZeta Silver Label did a WWA steelbook and Zavvi had UK preorders. The sequel's warmer color palette and darker Moriarty scenes both look better than the old Blu-ray.

Universal's 2017 4K is the canonical version and reviewers don't really argue about it. Solid A-Tier transfer, with the DTS:X mix doing the most work in the stairwell oner. The neon-soaked Berlin palette plays well with Dolby Vision. David Leitch's choreography and Charlize Theron doing all of it. The Steelbook had a misprint run with the front and back cover plates installed backwards. Sequel rumored for years, nothing yet.
