The test clip looks pretty nice, but on the screenshots I noticed a couple of things. In the third shot, on the DVD you can actually see the background through the blueish blast, where as on the BD and the new CM the whites are completely blown out there and you can see nothing through that blast. In the last shot of the agent, you can actually see the agents face on the DVD, where as on the BD and the newCM his face is completely white and seems to disappear in the background white of the sky. Also, in that shot there are major artifacts that you can notice in the buildings to the left of the agent in the bottom of screen.

until the 35mm footage is available, I think the open-matte version, with the proper color-grading, even though wrong AR, would be a wonderful addition to the collection. I actually like the open-matte version better, not saying that the theatrical AR is wrong or looks bad, but I like being able to see all that extra image there. This is just my opinion though;)
