Do I get native 4k Ultra HD?

Cinematographer Ben Seresin decided to shoot the new Mummy on 35mm film, a decision that was only approved by the studio after Tom Cruise arrived. He only used digital cameras when necessary, i.e. for the underwater sequence, captured by an Arri Alexa 65, and for the subway scene, captured by an Arri Alexa Mini. Anyway, the 35mm material was scanned in 2k, to which resolution the digital footage from Arri was then downscaled. The VFX was created in the same resolution, and logically the master itself was then in that resolution. So for Ultra HD purposes the film is upsampled. However, given the dynamic range of cinema film, HDR presentation is crucial. The Mummy was colorized for Dolby Vision projection, among other things, and although there is only HDR-10 on the UHDBD, the film benefits primarily from the expanded brightness and color range.
