There are plenty of digital features as well, plus a Spot Gloss effect on the box itself to make it perfect for display. Generally speaking in terms of direct comparative differences, Jurassic Park's 2160p/HDR-10 presentation enjoys a tangible boost Blu-ray, in texture and certainly in color. But it could have been so much more. Universal certainly didn't go to much, if any, effort to give the movie the I haven’t seen the raw scan that the fans did, only the released version. I do know that it was handled by people with extensive experience in the industry, and that it was professionally colour corrected and graded to the projected print. I also know from viewing 35mm films recently, that a lot of films look similar to Jurassic Park when projected from their theatrical prints. This does serve as a good example of why home video release often don’t match the look of theatrical prints. A good release however can still strike a balance between preserving the original flair and creativity of the film-maker, whilst enhancing and optimising the viewing experience for home use. For example, the darkness of the T-Rex chase scene could never be made out if not brightened for older analogue formats. It’d be great to see a more faithful release of this film in the future, but given the revisionism of the 3D release that may be a long while off. hiccups do get in the way of perfection: shallow dialogue -- "there is no unauthorized breeding in Jurassic Park" -- at the 29:50 mark is probably the

A 30th anniversary release is FAR from inevitable After hearing/reading about what he had to say, how important " visual storytelling", " mood", " painting with light" and " subtract light from a scene" are to him, you might get the sense he's describing a completely different movie than what we watched in our homes for 30 years.

Universal has released the legendary Steven Spielberg film 'Jurassic Park' to the UHD format alongside ' The Lost World,' ' Jurassic Park III,' and ' Jurassic World,' all available only in bundles, both a DigiBook and a Best Buy exclusive SteelBook set. This film's UHD video presentation could have been better, could There current UHD is definitely too magenta and reminiscent of the old home video masters. And yes, that 35mm print is faded. generally speaking they're sharper, not by any radical measure but it's usually easy to see added clarity in facial features, fine clothing details, terrain, That said, this is certainly not a perfect picture.

clothes. The red, green, and yellow Ford Explorers that carry passengers through the park are particularly more pleasing to the eye, far less garish Spielberg is also at his best in building suspense and anticipation, making audiences wait until just the right moment to reveal the colossal, prehistoric creatures. Even as doctors Grant (Sam Neill), Sattler (Laura Dern) and Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) finally arrive at Hammond's (Richard Attenborough) island, the narrative takes its time, showing first the huge electrical fences that hint at something dangerous being caged. Later, we see the reactions of three characters, before we're finally allowed to see the once extinct animals for ourselves. The way in which the camera slowly pans to look up at the Brachiosaurus remains just as inspiring and jaw-dropping as ever. Then, we move to a long shot of dinosaurs by a lake which tops it all off. accuracy and saturation. It's refined, with denser greens, less washed-out colors in sun-drenched locales, and more appropriately colored skin and bit more organically textured. On the flip side, some shots are gorgeous. Rich colors, textural excellence, even and flattering grain…why the entire Those 35mm clips and scans look pretty desaturated and don't really give a decent representation of any of the prints I've seen or handled. Jurassic Park is a strange case as I recall the original prints looking quite different from print-to-print (I noticed this on a few early '90s films. Obviously no print is going to be identical but I wasn't used to that sort of discrepancy). Most of them looked warm and vibrant, the day scenes had a warm golden look to them and there were a lot of cool blues in the night scenes. Either way, none of those prints resembled the Blu-ray or UHD at all.

Conclusion

Jurassic Park looks better than ever, and its color and contrast are strongly improved over the previous Blu-ray release, though it’s certainly not up to the level of most other films in 4K in terms of image detail. It does, however, deliver a damn great DTS:X audio experience, so there’s that.
