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 a 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. That said, this is certainly not a perfect picture. There are some edge halos along high contrast areas, such the ball cap worn by the boy who calls out

The above 35mm video and frames are sourced from an untouched 4K scan of a positive, made on top of the line equipment by a competent and professional projectionist who also compared the finished 1080p encoding to the actual film projected. 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.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, rotors effortlessly transport the listener into its passenger space, all with a very clear, but seamlessly integrated, overhead component that truly The 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. Will we finally get a faithful official release of Jurassic Park next year? And in the remote case, will it be harshly criticized for being "revisionist"? Do we actually want a faithful release, or are many among us too accustomed to colorful and "appealing" video presentations?

If you know "Valeyard", you know the chances of him being so forgiving and actually praising the person behind a 35mm scan are usually zero. 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. recreation of space and distance from every element. Dialogue is generally very clear, well prioritized, and naturally poisitned, but a couple of brief 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.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 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. Not surprisingly, the latest genetically-engineered installment to the franchise runs amok with an excellent, highly-detailed HEVC H.265 encode that's well worth the price of admission. The movie was shot on a combination of Super 35mm, 70mm and the Red Epic Dragon capable of 6K resolution, and the source was later mastered in a 2K digital intermediate. Immediately apparent is the improvement in definition, boasting several stunning, razor-shaper scenes, including the fast-paced action moments, such as the now-infamous Owen riding with the Raptors at night sequence. It's not quite the night and day difference we'd expected with resolution levels waver slightly during some of the CG-heavy sequences and a mild, almost trivial instances of aliasing along the sharpest edges of a few buildings. But this 4K presentation is sharper with better clarity of individual hairs, the fabric and stitching of clothing, and in every blade of grass and pebble on the jungle floor. Facial complexions are highly revealing as well, showing every wrinkle and pore in the faces of the cast, particularly during close-ups. All right, with all of that context established, let’s look at the films in this box set one by one…
