I saw BR 2049 in IMAX 3D, 4DX, Auro 3D and standard 2D formats in the theaters (in that order). None of the versions had the cold look suggested here. There were 2 drastic differences though - IMAX 3D version had very desaturated look (with yellowish look present) and standard 2D had very saturated look (still yellowish though). Other versions were somewhere inbetween, more on the desaturated side.

2D Blu-ray edition reflects saturated 2D look and I can’t comment on 3D Blu-ray since I don’t own it. In my opinion saturated look of 2D versions doesn’t match the film’s atmosphere at all and I was shocked to see it in 2D. I guess saturated is the intended BR 2049 look - desaturation probably occurs due to projector’s 3D lenses which are known to desaturate the image.

So if color correction is someone’s goal here, desaturation is the way to go. What I’d like to see is IMAX full screen aspect ratio which immensely added to immersion.
