Re: LIFEFORCE 4K UHD - US THEATRICAL CUT ONLY in 4K :(
Shout just saved me $30 -- the lame US Theatrical Cut from Tri-Star is the only one actually in 4K UHD here! 
Shout's explanation:
Either way, this one is an easy PASS. With scenes axed and some of Mancini's score along with it (this is the one with the tepid Michael Kamen/James Guthrie electronic rescore), I have no motivation to rewatch the Tri-Star version -- 4K or 1080p or any form.
Hopefully Arrow or someone overseas tries to compile the International Cut for 4K UHD. I'll save my $$ for that.
Shout's explanation:
Not sure what kind of an explanation that is when Vinegar Syndrome produced THE BEASTMASTER in 4K UHD from similar elements and it looked good.Please note about the international cut: Cannon cut the original camera negative to match the theatrical version of the film. Any trims from the original camera negative were not saved. As a result, the international cut only exists as an interpositive film element. We felt cutting those scenes into the original camera negative for a UHD release would be jarring because of the increase in resolution of 2160p.
