Best Audio:

Original matrixed Dolby Stereo mix: Criterion 4K Blu-ray

Audio Notes:

A better transfer than the Sony 4K Blu-ray

The Sony 4K Blu-ray includes an earlier 5.1 remix, which is mostly faithful to the original mix and lightly enhances and opens it up, as well as Dolby Atmos remix which is slightly more aggressive.

Criterion's release also includes a different Atmos remix to the one included from Sony, significantly more aggressive than previous releases, going for a more "immersive" feel.
