Jurassic Park Collection [DVD]

Product Information

Let's be honest: some people will be enthusiastic to hear about the 4K quality of all four of the Jurassic Park films contained within this set, but most of attention will be directed at the treatment of the original, especially since the Blu-ray presentation never fully lived up to expectations.

Jurassic World 22 years ago, John Hammond envisioned a theme park where guests could experience the thrill of witnessing actual dinosaurs. From Academy Award-winning director Steven Spielberg (Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park), and Joe Johnston (Jurassic Park III), dinosaurs once again roam the earth in an amazing theme park on a remote island.The best way to describe this is that it sits between Dolby Digital and DTS in terms of volume, but clearly the Japanese Superbit edition wins hands down. But of course, when you mention the words "LFE" and "Jurassic Park" in the same breath, everyone thinks of the T-Rex. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Comparing this to Jurassic Park: The Lost World and Jurassic Park III, the footsteps do appear slightly subdued, but still there is a reassuring LFE thud that warns of the imminent attack. Unlike the Superbit edition, here we have a number of extras on offer, although it's worth noting there's less here than on the standard Region 2 version.

uk: Richard Attenborough, Sam Neill, Bob Peck, Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern, Martin Ferrero, Joseph Mazzello, Ariana Richards, Samuel L. Scripts, producers, and directors churned in a way that put Jurassic Park on ice for well over a decade … until the ideas finally came together for Jurassic World. The degree of been-there, done-that aspects of the track distract from its potency, though, since it ends up essentially being a continuation of most of the aggressive aspects of the original Jurassic Park's design.Director Steven Spielberg`s Jurassic masterpiece is back in this DVD edition containing interviews and special behind-the-scenes footage. Understated elements from the track -- brushing debris away from fossils, drips and trickles of water, even the wobble of Jello -- have an impeccable degree of audibility to them, and John Williams' score sounds universally fantastic, sprawling along with specific atmospheric elements across the entire object-based stage.

Once on Isla Sorna, The Lost World simply attempts to go bigger and bolder than what was present in the original film, both in the scale of the visual effects and the themes involved with why everyone's there and risking their lives.But beyond that, and considering the rich strengths that the DTS-X track brings to the table, Jurassic Park deserves a five-star mark in the audio department. There are, as can be expected from a film of that magnitude, no compression marks at all, although a couple of dark scenes (in the basement, for example) did show some color bleeding and blacks turning to dark blues. Grant soon discovers that his hosts are not what they seem, and the island's native inhabitants are smarter and more brutal than he ever imagined.

By all accounts the two tracks seem identical, and as the credits appear on the screen the drums echo around the soundstage crisply and convincingly. The positives of the 4K UltraHD comes in a similar manner of getting details under control within the 2160p, 1. There are stages of the visuals leading up to the more visually appealing elements in the cinematography: the opening nighttime scene transferring a dinosaur showcases the disc's contrast capabilities, while the next shot of a jungle excavation site wrangles with tricky tan and terra-cotta hues.Of course, the real stand-out sound moment of the movie is yet to come, and as T-Rex makes its presence known, we realise with the DTS track engaged that not only is the T-Rex making itself known, but making itself FELT. The same comments I wrote for the Japanese DTS track still apply here though, just not to the same degree. This officially takes the Jurassic Park universe in a warped, vastly more sci-fi oriented direction than the relative practicality of the original films, and it's up to rugged velociraptor wrangler Owen (Chris Pratt) to sniff out potential problems with the new beast's storage area before it's opened to the public.
