Not since the stained-glass knight of 'Young Sherlock Holmes,' has audiences seen digital visual effects used so effectively in a live-action film. By today's standards, the visuals of this fantastically entertaining sci-fi adventure do, admittedly, seem a bit quaint, but twenty years later, it's surprising to see they have actually held up rather splendidly, still delivering that same sense of wonder.Steven 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 Dr. Alan Grant [Sam Neill], Dr. Ellie Sattler [Laura Dern] and Dr. Ian Malcolm [Jeff Goldblum] finally arrive at John Hammond's Sir 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.The story itself is actually rather ordinary, even the inclusion of the two obnoxious children Alexis "Lex" Murphy [Ariana Richards] and Timothy "Tim" Murphy [Joseph Mazzello] seems intended to attract younger viewers. But it must be said, the film intentionally places more emphasis on a sense of adventure and excitement than on the science or the possibilities. Steven Spielberg and company utilised the best available CGI technology of the time and smartly balanced that with the amazing, lifelike animatronics of Stan Winston and his team. The plot is just engaging enough to maintain our attention while being overwhelmed by the visionary and spectacular visuals. 'Jurassic Park' continues to capture our imagination and serves as proof of what Hollywood magic can truly deliver.Now in its twentieth year since it originally released, Steve Spielberg's epic fantasy adventure remains the grand spectacle of childhood wonder and endless imagination. Even if I wasn't fortunate enough to enjoy this film as a little boy, the now-legendary director of such splendid classics as 'JAWS,' 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind,' the 'Indiana Jones' adventures and 'E.T.' was truly at the height of his game because he made feel like a child again. Even more amazing is the fact that this sci-fi classic continues to work its magic not only on me but also younger generations. And somehow, I'm sure it will continue to do so for many future moviegoers as well. It's a terrific and splendid film with the now added enjoyment of 3D, which an amazing transformation and I wonder if future old 2D Hollywood Blockbusters will be turned into 3D, I hope so, as I love these 2D films brought to life in 3D,and I wish more old 2D Blu-ray disc Titles could be released again in this format, as it is totally brilliant.Blu-ray Video Quality ' Universal Studios brings 'Jurassic Park' to 3D Blu-ray in a three-disc combo pack with a code for a Digital Copy and ULTRAVIOLET viewing. The first two discs are Region Free, with the second being an identical copy from the previous release and accompanied by a DVD 9 copy. All three are housed inside the standard blue keep case with a glossy and lightly beautiful embossed slipcover. At start-up, the 3D Blu-ray is a little slow to boot, but it goes straight to a 3D main menu screen with full-motion clips and music, which puts you in the mood for a totally adventurous exhilarating rollercoaster ride. Setting aside the fact that this is simply another completely unnecessary conversion of an already great-looking film, I'm happy to report that 'Jurassic Park' arrives with a rather surprisingly satisfying 1080p encoded image. While I wouldn't suggest this an improvement over the previous Blu-ray release, the extra dimension does add another layer to the story's sense of adventure and provides a substantially immersive effect to its enjoyment. Overall, however, the 1.85:1 image offers a wealth of 3D goodness. The transfer was made by the same folks who worked on the 'Titanic 3D' conversion, which I have viewed and is a totally disgusting sham and should not have been released and should of only been made available in 2D, whereas `Jurassic Park' 3D is a hundred time more superior, as is the awesome `Predator' 3D Blu-ray and so the results of `Jurassic Park' 3D are consistently great with some really fantastic moments which take advantage of Dean Cundey's original Cinematography. Separation between foreground and background objects is distinct and crystal-clear, often generating some amazing visual delights that penetrate deep into the backdrop. When dinosaurs stand directly in front of the camera, turning their heads from one side to the other, the snouts poke through the screen amusingly, to make you think they are going to enter your viewing area and so make the 3D so much more realistic. Generally, contrast is spot-on and crisp, but there are times when it slightly falls flat. Again, this mostly happens when CGI effects come into play. Black levels are accurate and deep with admirable shadow delineation. The transfer also comes with a thin layer of grain throughout, which tends to be more prominent in poorly-lit interiors, providing the movie with a splendid film-like appearance that fans should love.Blu-ray Audio Quality ' As would be expected, the audio for 'Jurassic Park' 3D offers a truly awesome aural experience which those fans will not soon forget. The 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio conveys a consistent wall of sound that's highly engaging and movement across the soundstage that seems fluid and effortless. Conversations between characters are well-prioritized amongst the film's many action sequences, and dynamic range is wonderfully extensive, providing a rich, sharply-detailed image that listeners can savour. The low-end is authoritative and complex, delivering deep, omnidirectional frequencies that make walls rattle unexpectedly. Some of the best moments are, of course, when the T-Rex stomps its way onto the screen, but viewers can also feel the rumbling snarls of dinosaurs. Rear activity is also at a constant with a sound field full of exotic wildlife, the roars of the T-Rex and John Williams's memorable score. The surround mix for this modern classic is terrifically immersive, one that will give systems a great workout.Blu-ray Special Features and Extras:Special Feature: The World of Jurassic Park 3D [1080p] [9:00] Presented in 3D, this is a recent interview with Steven Spielberg suggesting how he subconsciously envisioned the film with a 3D style in mind. The rest of the documentary is a discussion on the process of converting the film to the new format with interviews of those who participated.Special Feature: Return to Jurassic Park: Dawn of a New Era [1080p] [25:00] The first in a six-part documentary series discusses not only the making of the film but also gives viewers an inside look at the original direction filmmakers were going to take before realising CGI was the way to go. Cast and Crew interviews are mostly recollections on working with Stan Winston's special effects, surviving a real-life hurricane, and working with Steven Spielberg.Special Feature: Return to Jurassic Park: Making Prehistory [1080p] [20:00] The second part takes a much closer at the filming itself, particularly the special effects and acting with the animatronics. Viewers gain a better knowledge of the extensive work that went into creating the scenes which feature the film's villains: the T-Rex and the Velociraptors. Of great interest is learning where the sounds of the dinosaurs originate, seeing some of the animatronics, and observing how Winston's team made the dinosaurs come alive.Special Feature: Return to Jurassic Park: The Next Step in Evolution [1080p] [15:00] As one would suspect by the title, the third segment of the exhaustive documentary gives fans a great discussion on the computer-generated images and the digital composites created by Industrial Light & Magic. Very interesting is listening to Steven Spielberg share his thoughts on giving creators his input while in the middle of filming 'Schindler's List.' There is also some talk on the awesome sound effects and the soundtrack. It's a great watch for fans.Special Feature: Archival Documentary [480i] [66:00] Here you have Four Original Documentaries from the original 2000 DVD release.Archival Feature: The Making of 'Jurassic Park' [480i] [49:39] This is actually a pretty comprehensive account on the making of the first film, compiled not by Laurent Bouzereau but by John Schultz and narrated onscreen by James Earl Jones. The date on the credits at this feature's end is 1995, indicating this must have been used or intended for something earlier than the DVD where I can first locate it. Some of the footage here is recycled in the more recent Laurent Bouzereau features.Archival Feature: Original Documentary on the Making of the Film [480i] [4:50] This is a brief promo piece that probably ran as a quasi-trailer theatrically to promote the film at the time of its release in 1993.Archival Feature: Steven Spielberg Directs 'Jurassic Park' [480i] [9:07] This is a very brief and interesting look at the director on set and on location.Archival Feature: Hurricane in Kauai [480i] [2:09] This quick feature covers the attack of Hurricane Iniki while the filming company was on the island, including videotape of the cast and crew huddled in the entrance of the hotel and then holed up in the main ballroom waiting for the storm to pass.Archival Feature: Behind the Scenes [480i] [26:00] 1. Early Pre-Production Meetings[6:20]. Location Scouting [1:59]. 2. Phil Tippett Animatics: Raptors in the Kitchen [3:04]. 3. Animatics: T-Rex Attack [7:21]. 4. ILM and Jurassic Park: Before and After Visual Effects [6:32]. 5. Foley Artists [1:25]. 6. Storyboards. 7. Production Archives.Jurassic Park: Making the Game [1080p] [4:43] This feature covers the then-upcoming 2011 video game based on the first two films. Other than the obvious nods to various dinosaurs and movie moments, this featurette is notable to me for its inclusion of Dr. Kevin Padian, who taught a dinosaur class I attended while in school some years ago.Theatrical Trailer [480i] [1:00] The film's original full-length trailer is presented here in standard definition. If anything, the trailer is a good barometer for the work done on the Blu-ray.Finally, 'Jurassic Park' is a fun, exciting thrill-ride that imagines an amusement park run amok when its prehistoric live attractions break free. Twenty years later, the sci-fi/fantasy adventure remains an imaginative motion picture of childhood wonder and visceral thrills. Arriving in a new format, the 3D Blu-ray features great video, which adds to the experience by adding a wonderful sense of immersion, and a demo-worthy audio presentation. Supplements may be the same as before, but they're a great collection with one brand new bonus, making the overall package a highly recommended purchase for fans of the third dimension. The new video presentation resolves many of the issues that afflicted the 2011 transfer, but brings with it several additional problems, obvious noise reduction chief among them. The main draw turns out to be something of a toss-up; some will prefer the 2011 transfer, some will prefer the 2013 transfer. You'll have to see both for yourself to make whatever decision is best for you. Thankfully, the 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio remix will blow you away. It's as monstrous as its 2011 counterpart, and has a few welcome tricks up its sleeve. All in all, `Jurassic Park' 3D is a well worth the purchase, as if you do not, you will miss out on a most unbelievable experience, that any comments I make, does not portray what you will view with your 3D glasses and again it is another Steven Spielberg film I am honoured to add to my Blu-ray Collection. Highly Recommended!Andrew C. Miller – Your Ultimate No.1 Film AficionadoLe Cinema ParadisoUnited Kingdom

3Dは絶滅するのか?
「アバター」のメガヒットで、数多の3D映画が流行した。それに伴い一部の過去作も3D変換し公開される事にもなる。2D→3D変換はコストがかかるため再上映はビッグタイトルに限り、流行に敏感なスピルバーグが名乗りを上げ「ジュラシック・パーク 3D」は完成した!さすがスピルバーグ作品だけあり、3D化は見事。雨中のT-REX、ガリミムスの群走、ラスト建屋内のラプトルとの攻防など奥行き飛び出しありで迫力満点。最初から3D映画で撮影した映画みたいである。本Blu-rayは3Dディスクのみ4Kリマスターなので画質も文句なし。ただ、最近は3D映画は廃れ、ほぼ2D映画に移行した様です。まぁ恐らく3Dグラスを着けるのが、煩わしいのでしょう。国内テレビも3Dから撤退し3Dは絶滅しそうですね。3Dも映画鑑賞の1方式だと思っているので、非常に残念でもあります。

Edizione steelbook dorata
Una bellissima edizione steelbook dorata che ho acquistato per collezionismo perché trattasi di uno dei miei film preferiti in assoluto, che andai a vedere al cinema diverse volte da bambino e che ho acquistato in home video in diversi formati nel corso degli anni. Consigliato ai collezionisti.

Bonito, pero no para fans.
Me lo compré en una oferta por el hotsale.Ni siquiera tengo BR, pero soy fan de la saga Jurassic.Lo recomendaría más para niños que para coleccionistas.Vienen las 5 películas pero no viene ningún librito o algo adicional.Sólo son películas y un muy buen empaque volcánico.Eso último me desilusionó un poco, pero igual estoy feliz con mi compra.
