Edgar Wright movies available on 4K Blu-ray, ranked by transfer quality.
dir. Edgar Wright
S-Tier Universal 4K. Edgar Wright's 60s London thriller. The disc regularly comes up in "reference quality films nobody mentions" conversations alongside Sicario and No Country for Old Men. Zavvi had an exclusive steelbook with artwork that people found a bit basic compared to the film's actual visual style.

S-Tier with a perfect 5.0 overall score, which is rare. Edgar Wright confirmed the 4K himself. Gruv's 3-for-$30 USD sales regularly include it, and Amazon has had it as low as $13 USD. The film's visual style with all the pixel effects, split screens, and comic book overlays was made for HDR. One collector has 28 copies across different formats and 12 steelbooks, which might be the most dedicated single-title collection in the subreddits.
A-Tier Sony 4K. Edgar Wright's music-driven heist film. The sound design is the reason to own this on disc.

The new 4K steelbook got people hoping the entire Cornetto trilogy would follow. The 4K transfer itself is divisive, with at least one commenter calling the Shaun/Hot Fuzz/World's End set maybe the worst 4K discs they own. Gruv's 3-for-$30 and Amazon deals keep the price reasonable. The Cornetto trilogy 4K set has been as low as $27 USD on Amazon, making it the better value over individual steelbooks.
Five friends who reunite in an attempt to top their epic pub crawl from 20 years earlier unwittingly become humankind's only hope for survival.
D-Tier Universal 4K. The D-Tier rating has people confused because Edgar Wright's films are so visually precise. Multiple collectors have said the 4K actually looks worse than the Blu-ray, and the hope is Universal gives it the Shaun of the Dead treatment for the 20th anniversary in 2027.

People are fighting about whether Edgar Wright actually cared about this release. The special features are boutique-level, which counts for something. Amazon pushed delivery dates to May 5th. People cancelled and went to Walmart. The UK already had it a week ago.
