OVERALL: Draw
The US CE contains the film in its correct aspect ratio (plus in additional viewing option in a different aspect ratio) and additional extras.
Do note, the German release includes some exclusive extras, but some of them are not English friendly.
GENERAL NOTES:
The original aspect ratio of the film should be 1.75:1 on UK prints and 1.85:1 on US prints. The 2:1 versions have a more or less common top with the 1.85:1 versions, but matte off some image at the bottom.
