If ever you needed more proof of how far off the mark Hollywood's live-action Street Fighter adaptation was, all you need to do is take a look at this Japanese animated film. It may not add up to much more than a series of fight scenes, but somehow it still manages to boast more plot and characterisation than the Jean-Claude Van Damme version. This Full HD release is utterly devoid of bonus features, but fans can take heart that the AVC 1.85:1 encode is the best the film has looked on any home entertainment medium, and the LPCM 2.0 audio (in both Japanese and English incarnations) is suitably punchy.

There's no denying that Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 role-playing game has plenty of scope for spin-off movies. This makes it all the more surprising and disappointing that this CG animation is the first attempt at bringing the game's rich universe to the screen. Sure, Ultramarines may get the small details right, but the characters are mere cyphers, the pacing is dreadful and the plot is as predictable as they come. The Blu-ray's AVC 1.78:1 visuals look oddly washed-out and lack texture, while the Dolby TrueHD 5.1 mix goes for volume rather than quality. A missed opportunity.

With plans for a big-budget Halo movie still trapped in development hell, it appears that fans will have to make do with this re-edited web series for the time being. What they'll make of the decision to sideline Master Chief until the final act is another thing – but the good news is that once he and the Covenant finally turn up …Forward Unto Dawn delivers on the promise of its source material. As well as a strong AVC 2.40:1 1080p encode and dynamic DTS-HD MA 5.1 mix, this disc also delivers plenty of extras, including 10 behind-the-scenes featurettes.

Walter Hill's superb retelling of the Jesse James story receives a long-overdue UK Blu-ray release courtesy of Second Sight. The good news is that it's a damn sight more impressive HD package than MGM's lacklustre 2011 US release. The AVC-encoded 1.85:1 1080p picture is fairly inconsistent, but it's clear that Second Sight put effort into cleaning up MGM's old HD master. Elsewhere the LPCM 2.0 mix works wonders with Ry Cooder's score. Newly-created extras include an hour-long documentary, an 'anatomy of a scene' featurette and Hill talking about Sam Peckinpah.

These two mid-'60s Doctor Who flicks scrub up very well indeed in high-definition. Meticulously restored from 35mm interpositives, the AVC 2.40:1 1080p encodes are awash with vibrant colours and heavy grain that showcase their Techniscope origins. The LPCM 2.0 mono soundtracks have had similar work done on them, resulting in crisp and clear presentations that are extremely sympathetic to the source material.

Paul Walker takes a break from driving custom cars in the Fast & Furious franchise to drive a rental car with an unexpected passenger in the boot in this South African thriller. While the plot doesn't offer too many surprises (or make much sense) and Walker's ex-con isn't the most charismatic of protagonists, some skillful editing and the Johnannesburg location give the film a unique feel. The disc's AVC 2.40:1 1080p encode makes the most of the sunburnt palette and gritty cinematography. A 13-minute Making of… and a theatrical trailer are the only extras on offer.
