Jurassic Park Collection [DVD]

Product Information

Spielberg pushes the envelope with the PG-13 rating -- there's some blood-‘n-guts and violent death here -- and executes a quasi-horror film in the second half that's genuinely informed by the philosophical ideas explored at the start, with scientist Alan Grant proving to be a marvelous unlikely hero as he uses his pro book-smarts to protect others. If there's a reservation to be had, it's in the potential overcorrection of bass response with distanced components: a few footsteps that previously had a fair amount of heft are fainter than it seems they should be. 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. Products labelled '*item fulfilled by Exertis on behalf of hmv' will be supplied to you directly by Exertis via their approved couriers.

All in all a solid affair, with excellent steering, good effects usage and a reasonable amount of LFE to shore up proceedings. It's just the 4K discs, the Blu-ray discs, and a very handsome, compact, well-made package for the prior films. If you mention DTS to any laserdisc owner, the one disc they are likely to own is the DTS version of Jurassic Park.Sobre la calidad de la imagen, podía ser mejor, anda algo justita en algunos momentos para ser un 1080p. Absolutely … but its new object-based strengths, presented here in stunning DTS-X heftiness, might not appear in ways one might imagine. Witness also the "T-Rex is coming" sequence (1:00:00), the ambient rain effects are superb here, fused with the foreboding thump of the distant T-Rex. Celebrate one of the biggest movie franchises of all time with the Jurassic Park Trilogy Collection! Dialogue never has any audibility issues, whether frightened tourists or equally frightened dinosaurs are swarming around or not, and the music rides carefully alongside the action-movie bluster powering the rest of the film, spliced together into a balanced yet vigorous track that stays true to the Jurassic Park brand.

The action-packed adventures find man up against prehistoric predators in the ultimate battle for survival. This will be a shocker, I'm sure, but something goes wrong with its paddock, exposing Jurassic World to its wrath. The same comments I wrote for the Japanese DTS track still apply here though, just not to the same degree.The rest of the films in the Jurassic Park franchise have certain moments in their respective audio tracks that really make one lean closer and absorb what's going on, but doing so with The Lost World ends up being more of a struggle. 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. Jurassic Park III sometimes has this weird, washed-out palette going on, which emphasizes pink shades a little too much while Grant and the team toddle through the Isla Sorna wilderness. 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.

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. While the execution of the story's extrapolations on DNA engineering and computer systems are handled with informed, future-aware simplicity, Spielberg and his team conscientiously blend practical and digital effects that respect the enormity of what's occupying the island of Isla Nublar.

Featuring Academy Award winning visual effects and groundbreaking filmmaking that has been hailed as “a triumph of special effects artistry” (Roger Ebert), this epic film is sheer movie-making magic that was 65 million years in the making.

There's a lot of blooming light in the photography that the 4K disc's grasp on clarity and HDR gets under control, and the contrast levels generally do their job in keeping the copious dark sequences in this film from being overburdened with detail-swallowing shadows.Let's be honest, if there's one reason to shell out for another copy of Jurassic Park (because you likely already own it, right? 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. On top of that, there's already a metric ton of extras available on the standard Blu-ray releases of all the films … hours upon hours of material to dig through.
