Capelight 4K Blu-ray > Kino Lorber caps. Capelight has better encoding than the Kino.

Recommended upgrade for viewers who aren't DV compatible due to Capelight properly encoding the HDR10 base layer instead of Kino, who require a huge DV layer to "fill in" picture information from a more compressed / compromised

5.1 mix is flawed on Shout Factory/ICON, a phasey upmix instead of the proper discrete surround. 2008 Fox Blu-ray sounds great does the 2001 DVD (4.1 and matrixed 2.0). The 4K Blu-ray 2.0 tracks are downmixes. Imprint 4K has a 4.0 mix. The StudioCanal 4K Blu-ray has a different 5.1

Geoff D impressions 

It's weird. Brightly lit scenes have zero grain. They look plenty detailed and not at all waxy and lifeless, but there's no grain. Darker scenes have a fine layer of it as befits the general rule of thumb with film. Either they shot this on the 50-speed EXR stock of the day - virtually grainless in the right conditions - or it's been expertly 'grain managed'. I say 'expertly' becuz there's no trailing artefacts, no sticky grain that I can see, it's some of the best such treatment I've ever seen. And IF it has been I can only think the edict came down from the director himself.
