Will I get native 4k Ultra HD?

The Mummy and The Mummy Returns were shot on classic 35mm motion picture film, which the studio restored and remastered to create the foundation for a 4K master. Compared to the standard Blu-ray, the Ultra HD Blu-ray transfer benefits from the increase in resolution, softening only during digital effects shots that were in all likelihood rendered at 2K and cut into the negative. Naturally, HDR and WCG also bring an enormous benefit. Echoing the reactions of international reviewers—which we can confirm after our own viewing—the transfer can be praised as an exceptionally accomplished effort with a stunning sense of fine detail rendering. At the same time, the UHDBD preserves the organic qualities of the original film stock, making this the likely definitive audiovisual presentation of a film that, given its source elements, will never look any better.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor was shot on classic 35mm film and whether the studio restored and remastered the film is questionable. If not, it will likely be from the original 2k master (post-production was already done in 2k). If so, it will be from a new 4k scan and thus master. What option Universal has decided to go with is unfortunately unknown. Anyway, as with the previous episodes, foreign reviews are enthusiastic about the transfer. Although the third part does not bring as big a leap from the Blu-ray as the previous two, the excellent detail and texture work is praised here as well.
