Jurassic Park 25th Anniversary Collection 4K Ultra HD Review
Of course, there is nothing like the original and that is certainly true here. In the first film, a group of scientists goes to an island owned by a businessman. Once there, they learn that he has been able to use DNA to bring dinosaurs back to life. In the second film, the dinosaur park is abandoned but scientists are there studying these creatures. Of course, there is an antagonist in the form of the wealthy businessman's evil nephew who plans to capture the dinosaurs and bring them to San Diego. Predictably, this plan is incredibly flawed and doesn't end well.
The third installment is the weakest of the bunch and is not based on Michael Creighton's novels. Here we get a group of individuals - both scientists and a divorced couple - who all go looking for the couple's missing son. The stars of this third one are most definitely the dinosaurs since the plot and CGI are weaker than the first two. Fourteen years later, we get to revisit this realm as Jurassic World shows the island functioning as an amusement park/zoo of sorts and stars Chris Pratt (Parks and Recreation) and Bryce Dallas Howard (The Help). Chapter five in the series is slated to open June 22, 2018 (Universal and FlickDirect Florida will be hosting a screening on June 19th, 2018).
The 2160p High Definition video transfer serves this series well. While not a huge difference from the original Blu-ray, there are some subtle details that can be enjoyed with the enhanced viewing platform. The original is the best of the first three as the CGI was done with more time and care than the latter two. Of course, Jurassic World is like comparing apples to oranges. Since it was filmed with the latest technologies the video quality is excellent and the special effects can be seen in sharp contrast.
The audio is slightly upgraded as well, to DTS:X (from DTS-HD Master audio 7.1). The now infamous roar in Jurassic Park is full and vibrates throughout your entire house, but the enhanced audio is most evident in Jurassic World. Again, the updated technology in filming makes for a truly immersive experience that envelopes the viewer and surrounds them with all manner of effects.
The combo pack comes with 8 discs (four 4K and four regular Blu-ray) along with a digital code for each film. Each movie has its own extras amassing to over 8 hours of footage. Much of the extras are previously released material and they include:

While fans of the films will love this set, especially in 4K, I'm a little leery to recommend you run out and buy it since they are still filming new movies for the franchise. However, for the ones that have been released on home entertainment, these are the best quality you will get for now.
