There's no denying it. Robert Harris got a quote from Bill Hunt in this post. "Aliens was mastered from the 2K scan used for the previous Blu-ray release."

Are you trying to make this thread "Aliens vs. Predator?" Whoever wins, we lose. ;)

I think it sounds better than it looks.

I haven't seen the entire film, so keep that in mind, but what I've heard of the new Atmos track is pretty good. Things have been repositioned in some cases, but it works.

Afraid so, and thanks. I wish it wasn't this way. The Abyss looks wonderful on my Apple TV and I'm anxious to get that disc. It's in Amazon limbo, but that's for another thread.
