Warner Bros Blu-ray is the best Blu-ray even though it has color and major contrast issues

An undeniably significant improvement from the BD yet still severely flawed. See DFIC's review.
Included in the Complete Kubrick box set with FiM encode of the same master from the WB release without the filtering; WB 4K early pressing has errors of a shot, later pressings fixed. Comparison between Criterion and WB.
