Is this worth upgrading from the Blu-ray?

Yes, if you have a 4K TV with HDR. The remaster adds Dolby Vision and Atmos and resolves noticeably more detail than the older Blu-ray.

Does it include a digital copy?

A code is listed, but it had to be redeemed by June 30, 2019, so treat it as expired and buy for the discs.

Three discs: the 4K Ultra HD disc, a standard Blu-ray and the digital offer insert. Running time is 130 minutes, rated R.

Will the Blu-ray play on my US player?

The 4K disc is region-free, but the included Blu-ray is Region A, so it plays on US and Canadian players.

Does it have Dolby Atmos?

Yes. The 4K disc carries a Dolby Atmos track that folds down to Dolby TrueHD 7.1 on older receivers.

Is this the first film only?

Yes. This is the 1999 original, not the sequels or The Matrix Resurrections.

Owners rate it very highly, with the 4K picture and Atmos mix the usual reasons. Complaints are few and mostly about the expired digital code and the dated visual effects.
