Unfortunately, they didn't port the commentaries over to the 4K UHD disc, but at least they included their two Blu-rays for the extras. Assuming WB does the same, I'm pretty sure the Paramount Blu-rays were also demonstrably better for the extras, since they were split over two discs and in HD versus WB cramming everything onto one disc in SD.

It's good to see Warner putting this out, but I'd be surprised if they bettered the Paramount. Of course, I would buy it again if they managed it—I love the film.

EDIT: It's worth mentioning that with that 98 GB filesize, Paramount got the video bitrate to 59 Mbps, so I don't think WB can get to a 55 Mbps bitrate with a 66 GB disc.

55 for picture *and* sound. It'll have a few dubs for sure but if it follows their BD then it's just another five tracks I think at 640 kb/s apiece, so not too terrible. I think it'll be a UHD100, but if it's not it won't really matter IMO.
