My main complaint here is that StudioCanal should have re-worded their opening credits that appear after the StudioCanal logo and before the Carolco logo on both the 4K UHD and 2D Blu-ray, which remind us that “This 3D version has been produced by StudioCanal.

Seamless branching could have (and easily has, on other Ultra HD Blu-ray releases) been implemented here to allow for access to the 16 minute longer Special Edition Version and 19 minute longer Extended Special Edition Versions, both of which are present on the accompanying Blu-ray (along with the Theatrical Cut), and it's arguably this lazy omission that speaks more towards the likelihood of a later re-issue than any of the controversies surrounding the video. Europe's busiest forums, with independent news and expert reviews, for TVs, Home Cinema, Hi-Fi, Movies, Gaming, Tech and more. When not writing, he plays games, watches movies and professional wrestling, and spends time with his two Golden Retrievers.

Dialogue is clear and understandable throughout, and bass response is even and not overbearing, but, again, it is nowhere near to what a more modern soundmix could achieve. Comparisons with the 1080p platter show little overt difference in how bright highlights (often, in this movie, glinting chrome) are handled.
