Based on what I am seeing this is no upgrade at all. It appears the Universal Blu-ray which I own used a 4K restoration.

If you don't own it maybe. If you already have it a waste of money.

Criterion UHD SDR vs BFI UHD DV MEL

Here's some with the Dolby Vision scene-by-scene metadata which prevents overly contrasty caps.

The grain looks kind of odd on the BFI version. The CC looks like its handling grain better. There's also a lot of scratches on the BFI in some scenes. Yes, the contrast is better on the BFI, but I like the CC too. Seems like both have their pluses and minuses.

Criterion has better encoding than the 20th Century Fox release but it seems like it'd be incredibly difficult to notice in motion. Will simply hold onto the studio release.

Also thank you very much ko8ebryant24 for doing these caps, they are an invaluable resource. Caps-a-holic updates infrequently these days so the work you are doing is a godsend in terms of figuring out what release to go with, upgrade to or not, etcetera.

I get the wrong order of the screenshots on this one where they don't line up for comparison starting from screenshot 7. There's a duplicate from screenshot 6, so from 7 and on they're mismatched when you compare them.

Thanks for all the work creating and publishing these screenshots!

It seems they go back in sync starting at 13.

I’ll fix it soon, thanks for pointing it out

Criterion throwing as many mbps as possible just to match the BD66 Fox encode.
