Sony 4K Blu-ray steelbook
Unaltered version: 2007 Ultimate Edition DVD? Or 35mm scan
Sony 4K Blu-ray steelbook, correct audio pitch and more bonus features
Confirmed to be a port of Sony's international 4K, encode different to Lionsgate's. Audio in the correct pitch and a cross-selection of archive extras where the Lionsgate had only one audio commentary. High Def reviewer thought the 2.0 was a mixdown of the 5.1 track.
Unaltered version: 2007 Ultimate Edition DVD? Or 35mm scan
LaserDisc has the original Mono
Lionsgate 4K Blu-ray audio is in the wrong pitch while the Sony release is in the right pitch
All releases after 2010 have digital alterations to some scenes. https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=999332

Atmos on the Sony 4K Blu-ray maybe better?
Regarding the "original theatrical audio" 5.1 mixes:
The Sony UHD and the BD DTS-HD 5.1 mixes are the same but the UHD has been pushed slightly harder and has a lot of clipping. The UHD is 16 bit vs the BD's 24 bits.
The Second Sight UHD DTS-HD 5.1 is a downmix of its respective Atmos track. Definitely different from the Sony UHD/BD mix plus a little less dynamic. Whether or not that's representative of the theatrical Dolby Digital mix is anyone's guess.
So, if you want the best version of the original 5.1, the 2012 BD is the winner.
