They've also recomposited some of the original effects footage to recreate in better detail some of the model work. Also this time around it will have an Atmos soundtrack. There are literally hundreds of changes. The director's Edition is actually about 4 minutes longer than the theatrical but many people say that the way it's been re-edited it makes the movie seem to go at a better pace.

Interesting. Now I'm curious to see how both cuts compare.
So the current UHD is the theatrical cut, then? Sorta makes you wonder why Paramount didn't just wait like 6 months and put this newer version into the UHD set to go along with the other films. I'd imagine they've been working on this for some time, but I guess Paramount wanted it to have its own separate release, which also makes sense.
