Is the jump to 4K worth it? The Blu-rays were remarkable, but will these films benefit enough from HDR and a bit more color? Yes, they will look better, but better enough?

That depends entirely on what masters they use and whether or not a higher resolution HDR/WCG transfer is done. If they're just using AI to simulate all of this, no thanks.

For the video quality, depends on if it is a native/newer transfer, HDR/DV, how good your TV is, along with the size and the distance you sit from it .

I have a 98", about 7 feet away in the theater room.

But where it can really shine, the sound quality, if a newer Dolby Atmos sound track, it is so much better than streaming.

I have a Anthem AVM 70 Processor, running into 3 Amplifiers, 9 Channels/Speakers, 200 Watts each, more impressed by the sound sometimes, instead of the picture.

Since the older masters would be stereo at best, would that be where AI might be able to properly synthesize height information for Dolby Atmos?

They just go back to the original masters, create a new Atmos soundtrack from the original stereo track.

There have been a lot of Atmos soundtracks created before AI started.

for example, I do not know if some type of AI was used for the original Terminator movie to create the Atmos soundtrack, since it originally was 2.0 Mono, but it does sounds incredible.

Stereo sound wasn't featured in Bond films until some point in the Roger Moore era.

Again, if they can turn The Terminator's mono soundtrack into Atmos, they should not have any issues with the older Bond movies.

You speak as if there were no innovations in audio recording in the intervening twenty years.

Definitely did not post that.
