Blu-ray

The only physical release of the 3D version is an anaglyph DVD, which is worse resolution than the full colour digital HD release.

No comparisons. UK Momentum Blu-ray is 1080i not 1080p France release has forced subtitles Australia version is reported to be good

(exclusive with Sony 3D TV bundles in the US)

All home video releases are open matte 16:9. No home release in the theatrical scope presentation.

The original theatrical 7.1 mix has not been given a home release.

Both come from a 4K scan of a 35mm film out which was made from the original 2K DI but the Lionsgate release has visible dust and damage marks while the Universal release is cleaned up more thoroughly. Both releases suffer from DNR which seems to have been baked into the DI. The colour grade is basically the same for both releases but the Lionsgate has Dolby Vision whereas the Universal is HDR10 only. The compression on the Lionsgate UHD base layer is apparently fine so the FEL doesn't make much of a difference.

The Lionsgate UHD has Dolby Atmos whereas the Universal UHD has DTS:X. Kick-ass was originally released with a 5.1 track which may be on the Universal Blu-ray.

The Lionsgate UHD is on a BD-100, the Universal UHD is on a BD-66.

The Universal UHD has no extras.

About the same

Cinema Guild Blu-ray is a good alternative (more extras).

UK > US, not sure France. UK (Artificial Eye/Curzon) has higher bitrate than US (Cinema Guild) but has boosted gamma (see here: https://slow.pics/c/L9U9r8Es).

Geoff D review.

Lionsgate 4K Blu-ray disappointing - Avoid. Terrible release. Another Kino-grade encode with a huge DV layer. The Lionsgate Limited Steelbook has a different disc with exclusive bonus discs and apparently another poor encode but they also messed up the DV metadata and made that disc unwatchable with DV enabled.

Lionsgate Limited 4K Blu-ray has exclusive extras
