...wasn't this shot 1080?

One assumes this is just a steelbook version of the 4K that came out early 2018.

I thought it looked pretty good given the format but it wasn't much of an upgrade over the BD:

" Blacks seem a bit deeper, while the HDR colors offer a little more pep. Delineation also appears marginally stronger."

Yeah I didn't remember there was an earlier UHD from four years ago. I'd guess any improvement would be from compression since the source was already kinda upscaled for its DI originally.

And HDR.

A truly monstrous 15th anniversary treat. Finally in 4k steelbook as the filmmakers intended.

Can’t believe they’ll be able to squeeze all that beautiful 8k data onto a single 4k disc.

Why am I thinking of that old tomato paste commercial?
