you have already answered this question is a previous post of yours.

That said, 'The Last Stand' remains a very fine-looking Blu-ray presentation. Brett Ratner has been a vocal proponent of the Super35 process, which tends to increase visible film grain. Indeed, 'X-Men 3' does look grainy here, with a thin veil covering just about every scene, and some shots veer on the excessive. But that's indicative of the source, and video noise isn't really a problem (more on that below). This is certainly the least slick of the 'X-Men' movies. Colors are well-saturated, yet not too overdone. The X-films always looked a bit more naturalistic to me than, say, the 'Spider-Man' movies, which is again evident here. Blacks are rock solid and contrast is eye-popping but not tweaked to hell. Whites don't suffer from harshness or blooming (the exception being that damn bald kid again and his all-white room, which seems intentionally diffused).

by saying it is "indicative of the source" = faithful to the theatrical presentation

Nope, it was added specifically for the Blu-ray release and wasn't present on any source prior to blu-ray.

Joking aside, yes it was. You're seeing something identical to the source. A theatrical presentation can't even offer that so saying a blu-ray should be just like it was theatrically is kind of like saying the source should be downgraded because a lot can go wrong with a theatrical presentation.
