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.

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?

Color depth, courtesy of that HDR color enhancement, is much stronger, yielding a darker image but one that is firmer, more sure of Overall this is a very watchable, though oftentimes frustrating, UHD image and, by many measures, a positive upgrade over the previously released movie (minus the aged visual effects shots which unavoidably suffer at this resolution) cannot look as good as it does part of the time is aThe Lost World: Jurassic Park in 4K is a significant upgrade over the previous Blu-ray edition and a worthy Ultra HD release in its own right. 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. Attenborough), coerces several individuals -- paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill), paleobotanist Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and chaos However, in spite of all these narrative blunders, Jurassic Park Dominion still manages to be a decently amusing and fitting conclusion that falls in line with the previous two entries where the visual spectacle takes precedence over strong or even good storytelling. Although not as successfully accomplished as Trevorrow and his team aspired, the characters also contend with learning to live in harmony with the dinos rather than dominate or control unruly nature. But then again, much like everything else in this production, those sentiments largely feel just as obligatory and contrived as the appearance of paleobotanist Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) and the still-suave mathematician Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), brought in ultimately as devices to incite the plot's central conceit about corporate greed and the ethical quandaries behind biotechnology. Even in its rather silly attempts to stoke the nostalgic heartstrings of the audience, the fifth sequel does close to nothing in elevating itself from being forgettable popcorn escapism.

There are no extras on the 4K disc itself, but the film is included in 1080p HD on Blu-ray as well. It’s not mastered from the new presentation, but is rather the exact same disc released previously. It includes the following extras (most produced for the original DVD release and so in SD): 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 So what’s the point of all this? When evaluating these films on 4K Ultra HD, you have to keep all of the above in mind. Some of this stuff is just not going to compare to modern films released on the Ultra HD format. Ultimately, the question becomes this: Does the picture and sound experience here on UHD improve upon the previous Blu-ray editions in a substantial way? And the answer here is yes… mostly… especially if you’re a diehard Jurassic Park fan. But you can’t expect miracles and the degree of improvement depends on the specific film you’re talking about. P.S. Apologies again for opening this Thread before an official announcement (and for such an heavy pictures loaded OP), but Universal already started announcing merchandise for the 30th Anniversary, which is where the logo on top of the Thread is from, and we know for a fact an announcement of this UHD edition is imminent. The final chapter in the decades-long dino saga claims dominion over 4K Ultra HD with a top-notch and eye-catching HEVC H.265 encode. Shot on a combination of traditional 35mm, 65mm and 8K digital cameras, the native 4K transfer sports exceptional clarity and definition from start to finish although a few CG sequences seem to dip in some spots and can look a tad softer than others. Nevertheless, the individual hairs and whiskers of the cast are distinct, the stitching in the costumes are discrete, and the surrounding foliage of the Biosyn Sanctuary are highly-detailed. Even the many fast-paced action scenes maintain impressive clarity, and facial complexions are always revealing with lifelike textures exposing minute, negligible blemishes. A consistently thin layer of natural grain is also present throughout, providing the 2.00:1 image with an attractive film-like quality that videophiles are sure to appreciate.

On the flip side, some shots are gorgeous. Rich colors, textural excellence, even and flattering grain…why the entire While not directly taken from any specific piece of material by Crichton, the second sequel pieces together a few elements not used in the previous two books, namely the aviary filled with Pteranodons. It does make for some entertaining moments that fans of the books can delight in, though the story will still leave much to be desired. Grating throughout the whole show is the addition of Téa Leoni as the understandably worried mother trying to find her son in this lost world. Joining her quest is her ex-husband played by William H. Macy and Grant's protégé Billy (Alessandro Nivola). And like Neill, everyone is made to step out of the way and allow the visual effects to work their magic. Sadly, by the time we come to this third outing, much of the spellbinding charm and enchantment of the illusion starts to wear a bit thin, and all we're left with is a quaint amusement and a desire to revisit the first movie instead. (Movie Rating: 2.5/5) 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.
