2025 Universal 4K Trilogy Steelbook / 2026 standalone is better than previous disappointing 2022 4K Blu-ray (excessive DNR). Not a whole new scan but the grain has been left mostly intact.

Cinema DTS is OG 5.1 mix.

Otherwise: 2022 4K Blu-ray’s DTS:X remix is more faithful than 2026’s Atmos remix.

3D Blu-ray’s 7.1 remix has reportedly less distortion than the OG 5.1 mix, and is presumably more faithful than the DTS:X remix.

Lionsgate 4K Blu-ray has the original stereo in lossy DD 2.0

US Lionsgate 4K Blu-ray > European/Australia StudioCanal 4K Blu-ray (better encoding on Lionsgate 4K Blu-ray)

Lionsgate 4K Blu-ray review / caps and packaging impressions by Kyle15.

For Blu-ray, Germany Plaion > US Lionsgate https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?go=1&a=0&d1=14167&d2=14170&s1=144509&s2=144555&i=7&l=1

Italy or Japan Blu-ray should also have a better encoding than Lionsgate. Italy vs US caps

Disney 4K Blu-ray, while a good release by itself, is very revisionist albeit made by Fincher. It has a huge amount of tinkering, a different grade, and at times uncanny with the sharpening. Caps of just how revisionist the new master is.

All Blu-ray tracks have significant limiting.

Disney 4K Blu-ray has some alterations, otherwise similar to the Fox Blu-ray
