Rich colors, textural excellence, even and flattering grain…why the entire Based on the novel by Michael Crichton, Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park tells the story of a group of scientists (played by Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum) who are invited to preview a new theme park on an island near Costa Rica by the billionaire philanthropist John Hammond (Richard Attenborough, brother of the famed naturalist David Attenborough). But this isn’t just any old theme park; using genetic technology and DNA found in insects trapped in amber for millions of years, Hammond and his team have filled this “Jurassic Park” with living, breathing dinosaurs. Joining the scientists on their tour are Hammond’s young grandchildren, who are eager to see Tyrannosaurs, Brontosaurs, and all the rest. And see them they will, because life will find a way… and it appears that Hammond and his team have forgotten Murphy’s Law.

chapter 11, appear much darker and deeper, fine-tuned by the HDR-10 pass for a more absorbing atmosphere. Textures are a little more hit-or-miss I’m far from objective when discussing this movie, as Jurassic Park is my favorite movie of all time. I’ve watched it scores of times over the years, starting with a beloved VHS copy, which is now lost to time. I recently re-read the Michael Crichton book for the first time in decades (it’s quite different from the movie in many parts, but it’s still a great read). Even so, most filmgoers will probably agree this movie has carved out its spot in film history as one of the all-time greats.

Jurassic Park: Trilogy Collection/Jurassic World Ultra HD Blu-ray review

Unfortunately, the first sequel is proof that lightning rarely strikes twice, even for the likes of someone as highly-regarded as Steven Spielberg. The Lost World, which shares only a title with the novel by the late Michael Crichton, doesn't necessarily try to repeat the success of its predecessor, but it clearly wants to relive the same sense of wonder and exhilaration. It's doesn't quite succeed at capturing our imagination or sparking that same awe-inspiring level as the first movie, but that isn't to say it doesn't come close at times. Then again, there's really only one scene which comes to mind, involving a pair of T-Rexes, their newborn dino, a large, extended RV trailer and lots of loud crashing roars amid a rainstorm. Director & Crew: Colin Trevorrow, Emily Carmichael, Derek Connolly, Michael Crichton, Frank Marshall, Patric Crowley. In addition to the movie Jurassic Park on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and digital, this collection includes the following items: That said, this is certainly not a perfect picture.

But it must be said, the film intentionally places more emphasis on a sense of adventure and excitement than on the science or the possibilities. Spielberg and company utilized the best available CG technology of the time and smartly balanced that with the amazing, lifelike animatronics of Stan Winston and his team. The plot is just engaging enough to maintain our attention while being overwhelmed by the visionary and spectacular visuals. Jurassic Park continues to capture our imagination and serves as proof of what Hollywood magic can truly deliver. (Movie Rating: 5/5) 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. Saying this groundbreaking motion picture went from a horror, classy looking film with immortal visual effects, to a children TV serial shot on video with dated CGI, isn't actually hyperbole. But who's to blame? Jurassic Park needs no introduction, although it's difficult the believe it's been 25 years since its digital dinos ushered in a new era of VFX. Michael Crichton might have recycled Westworld for the theme-park-gone-wrong plot, but Steven Spielberg's assured direction resulted in a film as entertaining as it was astonishing.
