It does not say 4K pre-purchase.

I purchased this digital item earlier today and expected both the original version and the iTunes extra version to be HD-digital. Was surprised to find the iTunes extra - "The Ultimate Cut" in 4K-digital.
This is correct. You need to play the movie first then navigate to Extras to play WATCHMEN: The Ultimate Cut. It is also in 4K. You have to tap Info at the very beginning when you play The Ultimate Cut to see the 4K res.
For clarification:

The purchase of Zack Snyder's "Watchman" on iTunes includes:

- "Watchman" (Theatrical Cut) in HD-Digital
- "Watchman: The Ultimate Cut" in 4K-Digital (found within "iTunes Extras")

Very true, quite a few Apple users that are not familiar with iTunes extras which basically/usually give theatrical and additional cuts and also extras such as documentary of making of and such, definitely the most awesome thing with buying with them, of course the standard app on smart TV's doesn't show the content, gotta use either PC app, Movies Anywhere app or an actual Apple box/device. Would be nice if they updated the actual Smart TV app to have the ability to watch iTunes extras on the the most widely used app, yep it would, hopefully soon.

Does this mean I can't watch the movie 4K on my LG using the Apple app?

If you link and use the Movies Anywhere app then you will be able to access both versions and they should be in correct format yes. Edit: After looking above I realize the only way to get the HD and UHD is by using an Apple TV box, regardless you can at the very least access both versions with Movies Anywhere.

You will only be able to access the theatrical hd version on the Apple app unfortunately.

How can I watch movies on iTunes with a Roku, LG or Android TV (or whatever Google is calling it today)?
