Jurassic World: Dominion was shot by cinematographer John Schwartzman ( Pearl Harbor, Seabiscuit, The Amazing Spider-Man) on both 35 mm and 65 mm film (in Super 35 and VistaVision formats) and also digitally (in 8K Redcode RAW format) using a variety of Arriflex, VistaVision, and Panavision cameras and lenses. It was then finished as a native 4K Digital Intermediate at the 2.00:1 aspect ratio. For its release on Ultra HD, the film has been graded for high dynamic range (both Dolby Vision and HDR10 are available). By and large, the resulting image looks terrific, though it should be noted that detail isn’t always quite as apparent as you might be expecting, as the film employs extensive practical and digital atmospherics—heat, haze, dust, humidity, fog, etc—to help its digital creatures blend more naturally into the live action plates. But the result is undeniably effective; film dinosaurs have come a long way from the original Jurassic Park in 1993. Grain levels vary depending on the source and thus appear a little uneven, running the gamut from very light to moderate.

And the wider gamut does bring out nice detail in the shadows. Highlights are bright, right on the edge of being eye-reactive.

That’s not Jurassic Park– it’s more of a spin-off with the Jurassic moniker to get people in the theater. There are dinosaurs, but as I alluded to above – not that many. And that’s the problem. We want to see the dinosaurs! We want it to be like the original film. And, sadly, it’s not. I’m reminded of Live Free or Die Hard in which it was essentially an action movie that just happened to star Bruce Willis as John McLane. Want another reference? How about the last few Fast and Furious films? They used to be about cars and now they’re spy movies that feature some neat wheels. The film isn’t all bad, but it’s a far cry from what these films set out to be (and do).
