There are other reviews up, such as Ralph Potts from AVS. He rated the UHD video 96/100. I try and read about 3-5 reviews before I make my decision on most movies.

Will Best Buy have the UHD on release day in stores and does the digital copy redeem in UHD?

Dunno where you live but my Best Buy in NJ always has plenty of UHD discs on launch day. Dunno the answer to the second question.

There's a variety of reasons:
  • There's 128 extra lines of resolution between 1080p and a 2K DI
  • It's widely accepted that good CG upscales well
  • Commercial software upscaling utilised by 4K encoders is better than hardware upscalers in UltraHD players
  • Improved/ more efficient H265 compression
  • HDR providing better colour/ highlights

As per the Blu-ray.com reviewer, the 3d Route is the way to go here!
2k Transfer upscaling is not true 4k on a UHD 4k disc. It will be slightly sharper and slightly more colorful but overall not much over an already stellar 1080 Blu-ray.
It's a fun movie but not a great movie for an overly repeat watch. With that said....a 3d experience makes it more of a fun repeat to watch especially one with a stellar 3d review unlike its prequel.
Again 3d is the way to go here, at the least, coming from an avid 4k Consumer and Purchaser.
P.S. Im on the ropes with Warcraft though either 3d or 4k... the 3d got a great review still waiting on 4k review!! Plus I haven't seen that movie yet.

It probably depends on where you choose to redeem the code. Since this is Paramount's first UHD 4K Bluray they may not let you redeem the code in UHD through their website but if you chopse to redeem it through Flixster then you stand a far greater chance of getting the UHD 4K version.

The first two Star Treks were Paramount's first.

That's sucks but I just sell the UHD codes anyways when they are able to be redeemed in UHD. So far Sony, WB & Universal UHD 4K Bluray codes all seem to be able to be redeemed in UHD so hopefully Paramount & Fox follow soon.

I redeem them because i can let me my family access 4k content without having to buy a UHD player.

the reviews have me leaning towards the 3d on this one. Blind buying it simply because I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the first. With all of you saying the second is better, my expectations are now higher
