OVERALL: Draw
Between the R1 AE and R2 France SE (for the additional IMAX Version of the film); and the UK R2/Dutch R2/R4/R6 SE (for the English DTS soundtrack on the Theatrical Version of the film).
The R1 AE/R2 France SE includes an IMAX Version of the film in addition to the Theatrical Version. Unfortunately, although it offers DTS on the shorter IMAX Version (116 min), it only has DD5.1 for the longer Theatrical Version (140 min).
The UK R2/Dutch R2/R4/R6 SE offer English DTS as well as DD5.1 on the Theatrical Version. It has the same documentary and featurettes as the R1 AE, but omits the shorter IMAX Version and the Production Notes.
As usual, it’s up to you.
About the IMAX Version
In his review for “The Digital Bits”, Bill Hunt said: “…the IMAX version has been cut by about 24 minutes (trims necessary due to the limitations of the reel size for IMAX format films). The cuts include mostly character scenes and parts of scenes - gone are Marilyn Lovell losing her wedding ring down the shower drain, Jim Lovell and Gunter Wendt's infamous "So... ve valk on zee Moon" exchange, Fred Haise getting space sick right after takeoff, etc. It doesn't really hurt the narrative, but it does sort of cheapen and condense the narrative too much for my taste.” -
