Does it have subtitles?

Yes. English SDH, Spanish and French subtitles are included, and the audio is English only.

How does it compare with the earlier Blu-ray?

The 4K disc adds HDR and higher resolution, so underwater and dark control-room scenes show more detail. The Blu-ray here is the same format as before.

Loosely. The real Enigma capture was a British operation; the film turns it into a US mission, which historians and some viewers criticize.
