OVERALL: Draw
Both the Olive Signature Edition and Eureka use the 4K restoration in the original 1.66:1 aspect ratio and each have exclusive extras.
The French mediabook has exclusive extras that are not English-friendly; however, the publisher has chosen to utilize the older HD master for both fullscreen and widescreen versions under the opinion that the fullscreen framing is more accurate.
