Do I get native 4k ULTRA HD?

Les Miserables was shot on classic analogue 35 mm film, or its Super35 variant. However, as was customary at the time, the negatives, whose theoretical resolution could reach 4k-6k, were scanned in 2k for digital post-production and distribution. Logically, the master was also created in the same resolution. For the purposes of Ultra HD Blu-ray presentation, the video is therefore upsampled, but even so, a significant upgrade over the outdated Blu-ray can be expected. In addition to higher quality compression, we can expect an improvement in the video clarity in all respects - the "brightness pinch loosening" will help a lot, where HDR better exploits the exposure flexibility of the original negatives. Additionally, with a title like this, the new Dolby Atmos track should mentioned as a great upgrade.
