2K or 4K both have the potential to look just fine on BD. That's great that they did a new scan but what's the point when they send it through the digital grinder and it ends up looking no different than one of their old transfers that have been sent through the digital grinder?
Steven Soderbergh approved it? Ok. I guess he approved 100 other Universal BDs too as thay all look pretty much the same. Whenever I hear of the director "approvals" I always take it with a grain of salt. I don't doubt they approved of something, but what, when, and under what circumstances I dunno. Furthermore, for some directors I know that scrutizing video transfers of prior films with a fine tooth comb is probably not the highest priority...I imagine a brief check to make sure the the very basics are taken care of like the color looks OK and the aspect ratio is correct is all they really bother with, then it's back to focusing on their current project.
