280 minutes... really??

On IMDB's specs, a 280 minutes version of this movie is mentioned. In fact, I found this version on sale at Amazon, which is the Universal's 100th Anniversary Blu-Ray release.

I'm wondering if it really contains another 140 minutes of film beyond the 140 minutes of the original release. Has anybody watched this version? Is it worth?

Given that 280 = 2 x 140, I'm going to venture that they mean there's a "full" screen version and a wide-screen version, with identical content. I'm sure there's all the commentary footage too, which isn't ever counted.

FWIW, I have the 2-disc "Anniversary Edition", which has the 140 minute version ("full" screen), and the shorter 116 minute "IMAX" version.
