Note from Encoder
Encoded from a new/superior Blu-ray source, now with a slightly higher bitrate for both the video & audio and a lot more subtitles.
Further notes from the uploader of the new Blu-ray source can be found down the bottom of this page.
Extras and soundtrack are included from my previous version.

Comparisons: Video | Audio | Commentary
Notes:
⇛ Video: Taken from FRA BD; to be honest, all were pretty close except USA, which was the worst, and GER, which is in a slight vertical shift. FRA shows overall better consistency with good PQ throughout the film.
⇛ Audio: All are pretty similar mixes. Tho, FRA seems to have attenuated back channels. GER and ITA are in 16-bit. Just went with the GBR for less hassle; the USA is in 23.976 fps.
⇛ Commentary: Taken lossless FRA one, as the slight high-frequency roll-off is a minor trade-off compared to the hard limiting/clipping on the USA track, the GBR UHD one is lossy, and the ITA is the worst.
⇛ Subtitles: Taken from all the available sources and sync'd. OCR'd English (British) SDH subtitle, spell-checked, and stripped to non-SDH (I removed the British tracks since this is an American film - THGhost). Also, the 5 cues English forced track from a different region in iTunes for a "breaking news report" scene isn't meant to be the forced track (I completely disagree, so I have put them back in! - THGhost).
⇛ Chapters: Named ones from GER BD, thanks to @Thamage for the translation! And, sync'd to closest/scene-changes I-frames (I improved on these further - THGhost).
⇛ Thanks to the uploaders for the sources. Greetings to everyone. Enjoy!
