The more Cameron is involved, the worse it'll be...

And apparently the 2.0 of the Abyss is just a down mix of the 5.1 which is actually the 70 mm baby boom 4.1 on the standard Blu-ray

Interesting look at Aliens

Wow. I expected it to be bad, but being a lazy upscale with no HDR/WCG at all is still shocking.

I will say this about JC and the home releases of his films, he is nothing if not consistent

Yes, seems so. Which means the UHD has no OG audio, but (like True Lies) the Blu-ray does.

What clusterfuck!

Hold on just because it's 70 mm doesn't mean it's not original audio. It is. It's not the original Dolby stereo.
What I can tell you is it's A noise reduced mess on both tracks. They have done something similar  in the past by encoding 4.1 tracks in 5.1 with the Towering Inferno on The US release.

I guess I wasn't clear. I'm saying that the UHD of The Abyss doesn't have an OG audio (it has at Atmos remix, and a 2.0 downmix of the 5.1 that's on the BD). The BD possibly does have an OG mix (the 4.1 from the 70mm print in a 5.1 container). And that the same goes for True Lies. It's easy to get muddled with so much fiddling going around.
