Why? There’s plenty of cinema mixes in mono, Stereo, Dolby, DTS etc that haven’t been remixed for home and transferred as is. Both films have a home 7.1 mix, but for whatever reason the Atmos has never been transferred.
 
The Last Boy Scout was the title I bought as a newbie to the K system.... I didn't check nor did it dawn on me it was SD trash. I paid for it and will never watch it. It just never dawned on me that anything on this platform wouldn't be at minimum HD quality.

Because the studios don't make them available.

Best available digitally is HD, which oddly the UK store has. One of those alongside Rock of Ages that is licensed in multiple territories but has different quality in each. :/
 
I’m so excited, I emailed Kscape a few weeks ago, asking for House Sitter to upgraded from SD to HD and it actually happened!

 
Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) from Twentieth Century updated to include UHD with Dolby TrueHD Atmos
 
I emailed K-scape yesterday requesting an upgrade for the Last Waltz. Perhaps the best rock concert movie ever and K-scape version is HD/DTS 5.1. I've had the 4K/Atmos disc for years. This is preventing me from retiring the disc player to storage.

HD/5.1 appears to be all that's available digitally.
 
The 4K restoration release is Criterion.

The 4K UHD is Criterion but the audio is DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. It is not Atmos (at least on my disk which has no mention of Atmos).

The DTS-HD audio soundtrack was supervised by Robbie Robertson who obviously was "there."
 
Drive is now available in 4K!!!

You are so correct! I just checked my disk and it is indeed DTS-HD Master 5.1. Don't know why I thought otherwise.
I bought it primarily for the audio, not the video, so I'll download rhe K-skape verson and give it a try.

Thanks everyone for setting me straight on this. I'll also revise my update request accordingly.
 
Edward Scissorhands HD has been updated with Dolby Atmos:

HOWEVER, the HD version of this title previously had two commentary tracks associated with it that no longer appear in the meta data for the listing. I won't be updating until I get confirmation that these tracks will still exist after the update, so please exercise caution.
 
Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation HDR updated with audio and video improvements:
