Jurassic Park [Blu-ray] [US Import]

Brilliant movie

Amazing conversion of a great movie. The depth is out of the screen. I could see no ghosting. The 3d however they did was brilliant. People walking out in front of the screen when they did in the original movie. This gave an extra element of depth and meaning to the plot. The dinosaurs look great. They only qualm and it was a minor qualm. The film didn't appear to be as clear as modern HD movies. I am not sure if this due to the age of the film. When I mean clear some images were not as sharp as I would have expected for an HD movie. This could be just me. But this was a very very very minor issue. The conversion is selling point to a film great. I would compare the conversion to the Wizard of Oz. I am not going to review the film as we know what happens and it is an oldish film.

Good movie

After the changes made for the 3D version of Jurassic Park, I was very wary of what would be in store for me when getting the 4K UHD version. Thankfully, this looks nothing like that. 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. While it'd be nice to have some of those digital fixes in, I'm much happier having the sky actually look blue! Flesh tones are natural, there's no colour wash across the entire frame, unlike what seemed to have been done with Jurassic Park 3D. High Dynamic Range brings a wonderful vibrancy to the jungles, colours do take on a slightly warmer feeling in places, but only where appropriate. The labs feel cold and clinical, faithfully representing the original filmed lighting. Make no mistake, this doesn't look like a film shot yesterday. And that's a good thing. Modern movies are awash in digital colour grading that makes everything look drab and the same. There was a legit concern that applying HDR to classic movies might result in that same feeling. Thankfully not! The colours are true to life and there's been only a light scrubbing away of grain. It's interesting revisiting films that used CGI back in the 90s, since it really does show how far the medium has come. Whilst the dinosaurs are still largely convincing (the main road attack is awe-inspiring), there's in-built limitations to that technology that show up more and more the better your display is. Computers back then couldn't represent the full range of colour, HDR was decades away. So, moments like the T. Rex jeep chase which deal with a lot of dark, shallow focus shots.. they tend to have a lot of colour banding if your eyes drift to where they shouldn't. The shadows look grey instead of properly dark, the background looks like the cutout filter in Photoshop. It'd all blur together so as to be unnoticeable on lower res releases, but in 4K, if you're sitting close, the colour contrast issues can sometimes be distracting. That said, there's probably less than 4 minutes of CGI in the whole film, and the shots go by so fast that you won't really notice unless you're actively looking for faults. 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. The soundtrack is practically flawless. Presented in thundering DTS:X, Jurassic Park has never sounded better than this remix. The roars are earth shaking, but even the minor details like the rain chattering on different surfaces or the breaths of the raptors stalking around are crystal clear and realistically positioned in around you. I have to ding it for not being 100% accurate though, I'm not a huge fan of studios dubbing in new sounds to old movies (with race exceptions). There's some distracting wheezy snarls in the kitchen scene that weren't there originally, and which feel like they should be further in the background instead of sounding so close. It's the one rough spot in an otherwise fantastic audio presentation. I'd say that die hard fans of the film should definitely pick this up, it's a marked improvement on the original blu ray, with quite pleasing picture and sound. The image quality is not so massive a leap as The Lost World's 4k release, but many scenes do benefit from the HDR, with closeups of the actors in particular looking great. I would honestly still recommend the old blu ray to most people though, the lower resolution "noisier" image actually seemed to camouflage some of the CGI seams and the special features are identical to what's included here (and they were all on one disc before).

Excellent 4K movie 👍

Liking all the memes from this film that we use day to day. Easy to watch with kids around during the day as there are some bits that can stress the little ones while watching like when the T-rex comes to get the children when they are in the jeep/ranger.

The value here is fantastic! You get a sturdy case, a great steelbook and extra goodies as well, the Certificate and Art cards are standard, the film cell is a nice touch but the booklet is where you can tell that a lot of the detail went into. It's basically a "Greatest Hits" of all the well known making of content from the film plus some 30th anniversary artwork that's beautiful to look at. I can understand to distaste towards the front cover art but it doesn't really detract anything from the set and it's varied enough to be decent on it's own, plus it's nice to get some variant covers instead of simply getting the 93 poster over and over (tho they still included that option in the american set). Speaking of which version to choose I would recommend more this one. The steelbook is a great touch and the extra weight makes the set feel more premium. The discs are from previous releases but you're really getting this more for everything else that it comes with. It might not be the definitive Jurassic Park set but it's a nice 30th anniversary gift for loyal fans of the film, definetly recommend it.

good movie wont fail in test on time

Premier film de Spielberg sur les dinosaures. L'histoire conditionne les suites prévues. Le titre est conforme à l'histoire.... Pas de surprise.

El 3D está muy bien y aunque a muchos les parezca algo nimio o viejuno, a mi me ha encantado y lo he disfrutado a cada plano. Sobre la calidad de la imagen, podía ser mejor, anda algo justita en algunos momentos para ser un 1080p. Sobre el 3D, lo antes mencionado... ¡espectacular!... Una película 2D reconvertida al 3D haciendo que sea aún mejor, ya que la profundidad en los planos es impresionante, sobre todo en los planos generales de la llegada en helicóptero a la isla, los planos con dinosaurios, etc. Una pena que no tenga planos con efecto pop-ups, de todas maneras lo he disfrutado con la misma intensidad que la primera vez que disfruté de la versión en 2D en el cine. Si eres un apasionado del 3D debes tener esta copia en tu videoteca. Blu-Ray edición de Alemania con 2 discos Español incluido

We all know Jurassic Park is a timeless classic. It was a groundbreaking film and entertainment that still holds up today; the CG back then (including Terminator 2) still looks way more impressive than rushed out uninspired video game looking CG work done today! The Raptors look so realistic! Back then, I thought they were actually actors in a physical realistic costume suit having the most impressive creature movements ever in history... haha. With the amazing lighting work and everything, it doesn't look CG at all. I love how it builds up suspense by not showing the T-Rex immediately, and then there are just multiple actions that occur right after another... pacing is just great... even today, Jurassic Park is just loaded with intense, well thought-out clever moments and NOT just sloppy actions that drag. I know there are people who are not fans of 3D (Why Christopher Nolan? Inception deserves 3D. It gives an amazing experience!!) and believe it's a gimmick... back in the day, perhaps... and I do believe not all movies benefit from 3D. However, with today's technology and watching the 3D in high definition, large projection screen, it is really mind blowing incredible if the 3D elements enhance the film. Instead of being a spectator, when the movie and 3D is done right, it really feels like you're involved and on the set! I mean, 3D technology is not perfect and there can be some cardboard cut-out feeling still, but there can also be scenes where you totally forget you're even watching a screen. I felt like I was on the ride entering the park with them! I think it's more intense than the Jurassic Park water ride at Universal too! It's like having a theme park/Universal in my own home! I love seeing that Jurassic Park entrance in 3D... goosebumps! Seeing the T-Rex in 3D was like literally being there present and it was a whole new, exhilarating experience for me. When the girl falls off from the air duct and the Raptor leaps up towards her.... that totally made me flinch in 3D -- even though I knew that was going to happen from watching the film before. When one can watch an entertaining quality film with story, and then adding well-done 3D conversion, that is a win-win total complete package. One would think they shot this movie in 3D.... it's just really well done. Of course the kitchen Raptor scene has great depth in 3D. Back in 1993, I had a choice of watching Jurassic Park or Super Mario Bros in theaters... Haha.. glad I chose the former. I'm very grateful to be able to watch and experience this film in 3D. If you haven't seen this in 3D, you're missing out. Well worth the investment! I am so addicted to 3D films now, I don't know if I can enjoy watching well-done 3D films in 2D now.

Un film come Jurassic Park non si discute, si venera, nonostante le pecche, le imperfezioni, gli errori e le sbavature. Tutto risulta magnifico così com'è! Più o meno tutti i bambini amanti dei dinosauri sono stati accompagnati da piccoli al cinema per vedere il film. E chi non lo ha visto alla prima, ha avuto modo di vederlo nel corso degli anni in TV, in videocassetta, DVD, streaming etc. La cosa che più mi affascina del film ancora oggi, è che quelle sensazioni provate da bambino sono aumentate da adulto in quanto si sono aggiunte nuove sfumature che, data l'età dell'innocenza, non potevano essere colte. Oggi, mi rendo conto che Jurassic Park un film per bambini effettivamente lo è solo in parte, forse una piccola parte. Poiché in esso si colgono diverse tematiche che vanno dalla genetica, al ciclo di vita e morte della natura, al rispetto per questa, alla megalomania umana sempre smaniosa di sovvertire l'ordine delle cose attraverso la tecnologia, che da bambino non si avvertono poiché l'interesse è uno ed uno solo: vedere al più presto i dinosauri! Tutti quei discorsi sullo stupro della natura e la teoria del caos che il buon Ian Malcom elargisce, così come la riunione di tutti i presenti alla grande tavola durante il pranzo, ammetto di averli, da bambino, completamente ignorati poiché mi annoiavano, non mi interessavano e non li capivo. E pensare che siano solo uno sfondo al film che vuole essere esclusivamente un film sui dinosauri, è profondamente sbagliato. Non solo perché il film è tratto da un libro (cui consiglio la lettura) che senz'altro non è per bambini, ma perché la volontà e la genialità di Spielberg è stata anzitutto quella di capire che un film sui dinosauri avrebbe certamente catturato l'attenzione delle famiglie con piccoli amanti dei lucertoloni preistorici. Dunque egli ha voluto unire la serietà del libro al tipo di pubblico, per lo più giovane, che sarebbe andato a vederlo. Per questo egli ha evitato magistralmente le scene decisamente più cruente che si leggono nel libro (la morte di Nedry giusto per fare un esempio), oppure evitando alcune caratterizzazioni fortemente negative di alcuni personaggi principali (come John Hammond che nel libro è tutt'altro che un nonno simpatico e affabile). I film successivi, soprattutto i vari Jurassic World, sono divenuti veri film per bambini, con sequenze talvolta ridicole (per un adulto sia chiaro), e dove i dinosauri si comportano da veri mostri buoni o cattivi. Non mi è mai andato giù l'ammaestratore di Velociraptor!! Per carità! In Jurassic Park, i carnivori e gli erbivori si comportano secondo il loro istinto, nulla più, con qualche uscita simpatica (come l'artiglio retrattile del Velociraptor che punteggia il pavimento durante la ricerca dei bambini nascosti all'interno della cucina, il Tirannosauro che non ti vede se non ti muovi etc.). Insomma, Jurassic Park è un capolavoro della cinematografia, che ancora oggi affascina, diverte e seduce lo spettatore. Con dei dinosauri che, nonostante gli anni, appaiono più realistici di quelli realizzati con le tecnologie più avanzate dei vari e fanciulleschi Jurassic World. E con una storia capace di intrattenere quegli adulti che un tempo, da bambini, si emozionarono nel vedere in un maxischermo quell'enorme Brachiosauro che avanzava lentamente verso l'albero da sradicare. Si, Spielberg, "l'hai fatto, brutto figlio di P.... !!! (Ian Malcom cit.) Ps: la Limited edition da me acquistata la trovo bellissima. Sia per immagini che per qualità del blu-ray, e con incluso un piccolo libro con immagini tratte dal film ed un magnete da appiccicare al frigo o dove si vuole.
