United Kingdom 'Underworld' UK - The same as US?

I tried to figure this out before, but it's still not clear to me:

There is a UK-version of 'Underworld' which seems to come in a sleeved box.
I'm not sure, if anyone has it, please comment on that too.
And as far as I can see, details are about the same, so I would think it's exactly the same.

But, I sometimes read it's different from the US-version.
Which also comes in a standard BD-box, only with the same image.
For example, here is a comment from the Amazon-website:

"The picture was average for a Blu Ray disc. Don't be fooled by the description which says Dolby Digital soundtrack, it is actually DTS (it even states it is Dolby in the setup menu) - How this occured I do not know.

Seems just like a re-hash of the DVD. I hear the US version is much better and has PCM uncompressed sound and everything."



While actually the US-one reviewed on here is considered really good.
Including great lossless PCM-audio and such things, as noted by the poster of that comment.

So, what's the story on this?
Because I like to buy from the UK since I live in The Netherlands.
And I also actually like the box better, IF it's just like they show.
You can see it here: https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/movies.php?id=4203
But unfortunately, as usual there isn't much information to it.*
Just checking before I end up with some "DVD-rehash".


*That's another issue; there should be information to those releases too.
This is a great website, but other releases than the US don't seem to be covered.
Now, it's not like every single country's release should be analyzed to the bottom.
But for example the UK-versions might be handy to know more about too.
They're mostly similar and occasionally quite different, sometimes in other countries too.
So if there's something significantly different, I think it should be covered here.
