Sony 2023 Steelbook 4K Blu-ray

Sony 2023 Steelbook 4K Blu-ray

Sony 4K UHD steelbook

The steelbook reissue adds a more nuanced Dolby Vision HDR grading compared to the original UHD. The UHD is also the first ever release of the original four track stereo mix in a discrete presentation without any major processing. It is far superior to the existing 5.1 remix which was a bit modernized. The Atmos remix is laughably overdone and not at all befitting a film of this era.
