SC caps. Great-looking 4K master except for DNR'd higher-gen shots such as the opening sequence. StudioCanal resolves finer detail but has encoding issues in highlights, the non-Original Camera Negative shots and traces of chroma noise. Sony used a low-pass filter which makes the film look less sharp and finely detailed but the encode is more consistent.

Additional Info
From
From somewhere else:
The 5.1 on the UHD is missing the LFE (no 4.0 in a 5.1 container) unlike the mix created on the 2024 Blu-ray, the ESP one is just a transcoded of the Sony 2024 with lots of dithering.
As for said dolby stereo, the UHD one is a padded 16-bit downmix lacking the bass (the giveaway is it s a downmix from the botched 5.1 without LFE), while on the NTSC the original dolby stereo mix is present and was synced to the remux.
For commentary both are the same, the UHD is less boosted so went with it.
To
The 5.1 track on the UHD is a remix originally included on the 2024 Blu-ray, but missing the LFE track. The UHD 2.0 track is a downmix of the faulty 5.1, severely lacking bass.
The digital track on the earlier LaserDisc is most likely the same as DVD, minus the lossy compression.
