Will I get native 4k Ultra HD?

Guillermo del Toro shot The Shape of Water on Arri Alexa Mini and XT Plus digital cameras. The 3.4K raw footage was downsampled to 2K prior to post-production, which is also the resolution of the final master. The film is therefore upsampled to UHD for its Ultra HD Blu-ray presentation. As always, the UHDBD delivers the movie in the highest existing quality, and with The Shape of Water in particular, it is essential to highlight the presence of HDR—whose wide color spectrum and superior rendering of low-luminance tones and shadow detail are nothing short of crucial for such a dark film.
