Jurassic Park [Blu-ray + UV Copy] [1993]

The value here is fantastic! You get a sturdy case, a great steelbook and extra goodies as well, the Certificate and Art cards are standard, the film cell is a nice touch but the booklet is where you can tell that a lot of the detail went into. It's basically a "Greatest Hits" of all the well known making of content from the film plus some 30th anniversary artwork that's beautiful to look at. I can understand to distaste towards the front cover art but it doesn't really detract anything from the set and it's varied enough to be decent on it's own, plus it's nice to get some variant covers instead of simply getting the 93 poster over and over (tho they still included that option in the american set).Speaking of which version to choose I would recommend more this one. The steelbook is a great touch and the extra weight makes the set feel more premium. The discs are from previous releases but you're really getting this more for everything else that it comes with. It might not be the definitive Jurassic Park set but it's a nice 30th anniversary gift for loyal fans of the film, definetly recommend it.

Amazing conversion of a great movie. The depth is out of the screen. I could see no ghosting. The 3d however they did was brilliant. People walking out in front of the screen when they did in the original movie. This gave an extra element of depth and meaning to the plot. The dinosaurs look great. They only qualm and it was a minor qualm. The film didn't appear to be as clear as modern HD movies. I am not sure if this due to the age of the film. When I mean clear some images were not as sharp as I would have expected for an HD movie. This could be just me. But this was a very very very minor issue. The conversion is selling point to a film great. I would compare the conversion to the Wizard of Oz. I am not going to review the film as we know what happens and it is an oldish film.

Excellent service and Grandson very happy!

After the changes made for the 3D version of Jurassic Park, I was very wary of what would be in store for me when getting the 4K UHD version. Thankfully, this looks nothing like that.The 2012 re-release made a bunch of digital alterations, removing various mistakes (things like visible wires, lighting equipment and somebody's hand) and changed the colour timing significantly to be overly warm, almost like it was tinted brown in places. While it'd be nice to have some of those digital fixes in, I'm much happier having the sky actually look blue! Flesh tones are natural, there's no colour wash across the entire frame, unlike what seemed to have been done with Jurassic Park 3D. High Dynamic Range brings a wonderful vibrancy to the jungles, colours do take on a slightly warmer feeling in places, but only where appropriate. The labs feel cold and clinical, faithfully representing the original filmed lighting.Make no mistake, this doesn't look like a film shot yesterday. And that's a good thing. Modern movies are awash in digital colour grading that makes everything look drab and the same. There was a legit concern that applying HDR to classic movies might result in that same feeling. Thankfully not! The colours are true to life and there's been only a light scrubbing away of grain.It's interesting revisiting films that used CGI back in the 90s, since it really does show how far the medium has come. Whilst the dinosaurs are still largely convincing (the main road attack is awe-inspiring), there's in-built limitations to that technology that show up more and more the better your display is.Computers back then couldn't represent the full range of colour, HDR was decades away. So, moments like the T. Rex jeep chase which deal with a lot of dark, shallow focus shots.. they tend to have a lot of colour banding if your eyes drift to where they shouldn't. The shadows look grey instead of properly dark, the background looks like the cutout filter in Photoshop. It'd all blur together so as to be unnoticeable on lower res releases, but in 4K, if you're sitting close, the colour contrast issues can sometimes be distracting. That said, there's probably less than 4 minutes of CGI in the whole film, and the shots go by so fast that you won't really notice unless you're actively looking for faults. The scenes are still full of suspense and the animations are great, it's just a pity that we've now passed the limit of how good Jurassic Park could possibly look without them actually going back and re-doing the shots.The soundtrack is practically flawless. Presented in thundering DTS:X, Jurassic Park has never sounded better than this remix. The roars are earth shaking, but even the minor details like the rain chattering on different surfaces or the breaths of the raptors stalking around are crystal clear and realistically positioned in around you. I have to ding it for not being 100% accurate though, I'm not a huge fan of studios dubbing in new sounds to old movies (with race exceptions). There's some distracting wheezy snarls in the kitchen scene that weren't there originally, and which feel like they should be further in the background instead of sounding so close. It's the one rough spot in an otherwise fantastic audio presentation.I'd say that die hard fans of the film should definitely pick this up, it's a marked improvement on the original blu ray, with quite pleasing picture and sound. The image quality is not so massive a leap as The Lost World's 4k release, but many scenes do benefit from the HDR, with closeups of the actors in particular looking great. I would honestly still recommend the old blu ray to most people though, the lower resolution "noisier" image actually seemed to camouflage some of the CGI seams and the special features are identical to what's included here (and they were all on one disc before).

The very idea of being able to create a theme park populated with living dinosaurs is beyond belief - and yet - Michael Crichton's story makes it seem totally possible. Having read and enjoyed the novel many times I was not certain of how I would feel about its transfer to film. While appreciating that to film word for word is never an option, I do feel that a few vital elements are missing from the film but, had I not read the book first, I probably would not have realized that. It is a fast moving, good adventure film with a brilliant cast that work well together. The dinosaurs and other special effects are stunning. It is a film that I will watch again and again - if only for the expressions on the faces of Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Geoff Goldblum when they first see the dinosaurs.

every body knows this is a great film , so iam just going to talk about the 3d . having just got a lg 3d cinema tv , i went a bit mad and purchased about ten 3d blu rays, as i went through them i felt a bit let down by the standard of 3d on a lot of films ( except avatar which is still the best out there) i started to think it might be the tv until i put on jurassic park. the 3d is amazing, great depth . the scenes shot through glass look great . i can not fault this film . so dont buy i lot like me to start with . buy jurassic park !

It doesn't matter how many formats you have bought Jurassic Park on, you MUST buy it in 3D.The film is so fresh watching it in 3D, its like watching a brand new film, i was completely absorbed into the story/scenes.I hope that similar effort is put into future 3D conversions instead of the slap dash poor efforts such as iRobot.I enjoyed this Blu Ray so much that I watched the other two Jurassic Parks in the following days, and converted them to 3D on my 3D tv (not as good an effect but still enjoyed them).I have watched a lot of 3D content on Blu Ray and on Sky, and to date, this is the best live action 3D film I have watched by far.

The first and most iconic of the series. Even in 2024 the special effects hold up.
