Jurassic Park: Ultimate Trilogy(1993-2001)See individual titles for their synopses. For more about Jurassic Park: Ultimate Trilogy and the Jurassic Park: Ultimate Trilogy Blu-ray release, see Jurassic Park: Ultimate Trilogy Blu-ray Review published by Jeffrey Kauffman on October 12, 2011 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.5 out of 5. Directors: Steven Spielberg, Joe Johnston Writers: Michael Crichton, David Koepp, Peter Buchman, Alexander Payne, Jim Taylor Starring: Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Joseph Mazzello, Ariana Richards Producers: Kathleen Kennedy, Gerald R. Molen This Blu-ray bundle includes the following titles, see individual titles for specs and details: Jurassic Park: Ultimate Trilogy Blu-ray, Video QualityFor those prone to pre-judging releases, Jurassic Park Ultimate Trilogy will have two strikes against it going in: first off, it's a Universal catalog titles, and those have long been the bane of high definition aficionados, and second of all it's encoded via the VC-1 codec, which for some reason is the Rodney Dangerfield of video compression techniques. All three films are presented in their original 1.85:1 aspect ratio in 1080p. Let's dispense with the usual furor over Universal catalog releases, and that is the perceived overuse of digital noise reduction. I'm the first person to admit that DNR, at least when applied judiciously, does not bother me in the slightest, though it evidently drives other videophiles to froth-mouthed fury. The good news is if—and that's a big if—DNR has been applied to any of these three releases, it has been done so extremely judiciously, and I doubt very many people are going to complain about an overly smooth and waxy texture to any of these films. (It should be noted that at least sometimes when people claim a film has been slathered in DNR—as in the recent brouhaha over Breakfast at Tiffany's--the truth is they are mistaking either original filming techniques like soft focus or not completely understanding other elements endemic to the source material). In fact the one issue that videophiles might indeed complain about is the very noticeable haloing in all three films courtesy of edge enhancement. Edge enhancement actually grates on my eyes far more than DNR ever does, and even though I find it bothersome, while evident, it's still not of any considerable concern here, it's simply being mentioned for those who like to view films looking for any potential problems. The good news is very good indeed, for all three films bristle with fine detail, and the CGI elements look especially fantastic in that regard. CGI skins of the dinosaurs all look absolutely crystal clear, and the scales and reptilian textures on many of them are virtually tangible. As with many Universal releases, while colors are robust and extremely well saturated, I personally found the color timing of these releases just slightly skewed too much toward the red side of things, but again, this is of no huge concern. There is some very minor shimmer evident in some of the scenes involving crane shots over the dense foliage on Isla Soma and Jurassic Park itself, but otherwise these are sharp, well defined Blu- rays that offer a considerable upgrade in video quality from the DVDs. Jurassic Park: Ultimate Trilogy Blu-ray, Audio QualityAll three films have been granted lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 mixes and the results are, to put it simply, reference quality. It goes without saying that all three film's mixes sport brilliant fidelity, with absolutely incredible dynamic range, fulsome low end (with some absolutely wall shattering LFE courtesy of little dinosaur footsteps in the night and some great dinosaur roars), with well prioritized dialogue, effects and that anthemic John Williams score. (Isn't it interesting that for the most part Williams forsakes his "scary" Jaws approach and instead gives us a soaring theme that seems to evoke man's greatest hopes rather than his darkest fears?) But what again and again impresses throughout all three of these films is the incredible attention to detail with regard to foley effects, some of which are almost hilariously brilliant (the little clicking noise the velociraptors' claws make on the kitchen floor in the first film is a great example). Directionality is also spot on throughout all three films, and each film is awash in fantastic panning effects, especially when one of the dinosaurs lumbers into view. But even in more subtle moments, we get some incredibly smart use of the surround channels. About halfway through Jurassic Park III, for example, Macy and Leoni wander off stage left and their voices clearly travel with them, even when the main action is still anchored in front of us. Again and again throughout all three films "little" moments like this help elevate the film's sonic majesty as much as the humongous effects surrounding the dinosaurs do. Jurassic Park Ultimate Trilogy will certainly go down as one of the stellar releases of 2011 with regard to its impeccable lossless audio.
