What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing calls this a 4K UHD plus Blu-ray special edition and describes one disc, while the feature description specifies one 4K UHD disc and one Blu-ray. The disc count is therefore inconsistent, so confirm the selected listing’s format and contents before buying. Customer feedback is also mixed on transfer and disc quality, with some reporting technical issues, so the advertised presentation is not a guarantee of uniform playback experience.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

Collectors interested in director commentary, deleted scenes, production interviews, soundtrack contributors and printed essays.

Less suited to
