Missing 4K German Cut in 3-Disc NeverEnding Story Release

[asianmusicguy]

Hey everyone,

I’m really looking forward to the new 3-disc Imprint steelbook of The NeverEnding Story coming this August. But I’ll be honest — I’m feeling a bit cheated that the German Extended Cut is only included in HD and not in 4K, especially since the 5-disc edition from earlier this year already had the 4K disc pressed and ready.

The German cut has always felt like something special to me — with the extra scenes and the Klaus Doldinger score, it’s a different experience than the U.S. theatrical version. So its absence in 4K here is disappointing, considering how complete the previous release was.

The steelbook still looks fantastic and includes a 4K UHD of the U.S. cut, which is great. But I can’t help wondering — for those of us who missed the 5-disc set, are we really getting the best version available?

Would love to hear your thoughts — is this still worth picking up?
