Video Notes:

2K DI Upscale, see caps

4K Blu-ray is slightly cropped on all sides compared to Blu-ray, but "that appears to be a conscious choice as the compositions don’t seem to suffer. They also slightly expanded the black bars in order to hide the ringing on the borders."

Audio Notes:

Surround levels are 3 dB too high, but the Fox Blu-ray has channel leakage

Caveat: Not a DTS-ES 6.1 mix like in cinemas, unsure if the centre rear channel is preserved in the LPCM 5.1 track
