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.

Shout Factory's Limited Edition Steelbook shipped April 21 in Dolby Vision. Sky Captain was the first feature shot entirely against blue screen with every set rendered digitally, and the sepia retrofuturism reads more like an oil painting than a movie. The 84 Mbps bitrate gives that aesthetic room.
