Disney 4K Blu-ray's artificial smoothening of facial textures making actors look unnatural, grain reduction and other changes to make the film look less like a product of its time

Old WEB-DL or HDTV rip for non AI version

UK Second Sight Blu-ray maybe better than all the other Blu-rays?

Australia Imprint 4K Blu-ray is disappointing with DNR and poor compression

US Twilight Time and Germany NSM Blu-rays have exclusive extras

• This film received multiple blu-ray versions since its initial release. Be sure on whether the Dolby Atmos track, newer extras or 3D image is preferred. The 2024 release is a reprint of the Diamond Luxe. 

• 2024 Blu-ray/2013 Diamond Luxe Edition Blu-ray has new extras not present on previous releases

Universal 4K Blu-ray - caps. Looks stunning against the horribly neutralized old master. Very glad Deakins supervised the new grade and had Universal restore his color filters.

Universal Blu-ray (included in the 4K edition) has the original 5.1 mix not on the 4K disc 

The original 5.1 surround mix from the 2011 USA BD was included alongside the new Atmos upmix. The compatibility track is a downmix of the Atmos. The Atmos is overall lightly remixed with noticeably more high frequencies rolled-off relative to the old 5.1. I think the 5.1 sounds better. The 5.1 mix from the USA BD was used as it sounds essentially the same as the EUR BD (with some minor loudness differences) while not featuring the dither noise and low frequency noise that the EUR has. Commentaries between the USA UHD and USA BD are the same, with both featuring Dolby Surround metadata

Audio comparison: 5.1 surround

Criterion 4K Blu-ray caps and HDR analysis video by The HDR Dissector.

Disney+ has new master better than Blu-ray

Criterion DVD/Disney Blu-ray is missing a line:

Hummel: (line missing)
 
Lou Lindstrom: "Hello Frank. Lou Lindstrom"

Disney+:

Hummel: Hummel.

Lou Lindstrom: "Hello Frank. Lou Lindstrom"

Markedly better encoding on Plaion than A24 and without any low-pass filtering

US Paramount has poor encoding

Paramount/Plaion Italy 4K Blu-ray > Paramount US. Overall good, superior compression to the US disc

Paramount/Plaion Italy 4K Blu-ray > Paramount US. Overall good, superior compression to the US disc

Shout! Factory Blu-ray for the original Dolby stereo, 4K Blu-ray is a downmix

UK 88 Films Blu-ray is the only release not OOP aside from Japan Blu-ray
