Criterion 4K is in director's preferred aspect ratio of 1.66:1.

Kino Lorber 4K Blu-ray has poor encoding see caps but still a huge improvement over the 2014 Universal Blu-ray

Both the 2.0 and 5.1 tracks are improvements over the 2014 Universal Blu-ray

Theatrical cut is on the 4K disc, but the restored Director's Cut is only on the Blu-Ray disc. Director's Cut utilizes the same 4K transfer as the theatrical cut for 86 minutes, but the 6 minutes of restored footage could only be salvaged from a standard definition source and are thus needed to be upscaled. 

> Lionsgate 4K Blu-ray is a disaster. The compression on the base layer is horrid, and the oversized 18 Mbps FEL barely helps.

Australia All Interactive Distribution better encode than the US disc

Lionsgate 4K Blu-ray includes original matrixed Dolby Stereo mix, albeit lossy, and a 5.1 surround upmix. The stereo track on previous BD and DVD releases is also lossy and sounds about the same.

Germany StudioCanal 4K Blu-ray slightly better

Germany StudioCanal 4K Blu-ray has best encoding. France Potemkine and Criterion UHDs slightly worse.
