It also has the annoying double letterbox bars - the regular black masking, then another smaller not pure black masking to get it to 2.76. It’s very distracting. I wish K could get the masking correct.

Just curious, when you see the not pure black secondary masking, is it in the UHD version, or the HDR version?
 
I would imagine the extra bars are encoded into the video that way, whereas the normal scope bars are from K. So K may not have any control over that at all.

I noticed it on the HDR version. I downloaded the UHD version and it’s on both. I’ve only ever seen this on films on K. Women Talking has the same issue. I’ve never seen this on a streaming service or physical media.

agreed. my first watch, was abysmal for me because of it. i did some NLS config in my Envy for it, and the second watch i was able to pay attention.
 
but if they can play the movie, don't they support the aspect ratio?? So why wouldn't they just change the label?
 
It will come in handy for the 4k remasters of:
Battle of the Bulge

Hateful Eight
Its a Mad Mad World
Mutiny on the Bounty
