Is the 4K version worth it over the regular Blu-ray?

If you have a 4K TV and player, yes. The 4K disc is sharper and shows the IMAX sequences in a taller frame, while the included Blu-ray covers other rooms and players.

Two discs: the 4K Ultra HD disc and the standard Blu-ray. There is no separate extras disc.

Does it include special features?

No. This release is the film on 4K and Blu-ray only, without the bonus-feature disc found in some other editions.

Will it play on a regular Blu-ray player?

The Blu-ray disc will. The 4K disc needs a 4K Ultra HD player and a 4K TV.

Is it suitable for kids?

It is rated PG-13, with peril, some intense sequences and mild language. It suits older teens more than young children.

Is the IMAX aspect ratio included?

Yes. The IMAX-shot sequences switch to a taller frame on the 4K disc, as they did in IMAX theaters.
