Do I get native 4k Ultra HD?

Although Guillermo del Toro shot it on classic 35mm film, the first Hellboy was post-produced in 2k, which in the case of Ultra HD Blu-ray means an upsampled master. However, given the quality of the transfers Sony studios regularly provide for their catalogue titles, one would expect the UHDBD presentation to be a major upgrade over Blu-ray, which is also considerably technically outdated due to its age. Aside from the slightly higher 2k resolution and higher quality compression that the new mastering will lead to a better sense of detail, it's clear that Hellboy will particularly benefit from the quality of new transfer provided by WCG and HDR, which are extremely important for such visually rich titles. Add a Dolby Atmos upmix and it's clear that Hellboy has never looked better - and quite possibly never will.
