Jurassic World [Blu-ray]

Fun flik with good production values. There's just something about dinosaurs eating people after I've had a frustrating day that just makes me feel better! Watched it with someone who argued it was "too predictable" but this far into the franchise I don't think any of us are watching it cause we're expecting big plot twists. We want to see some realistic looking dinosaurs eating people!!! And that's what we get here!!! Plus some added really nice eye candy in the form of the male lead. Very nice. Hot guy, dinosaurs eating people, guy is smart and sexy, dinosaurs are eating people, guy is brave and courageous, dinosaurs are eating people... yup, great movie!!!

Bought to go with my Jurassic Park Ultimate Trilogy... No doubt next year that will come out with a 4 pack! In any case, I know that "world" got panned in reviews, but I really liked it. The some of the special effects were awesome - my fav the clear balls you ride around in, in the park. Wished I were in it. Until the bad dinosaur got loose of course... It's worth owning if you own the others.. I happen to be a brice howard fan and she was very funny in this movie. Just my humble opinion... but then I am not a movie reviewer, just a movie watcher. I would say that these movies are good for 8-10 years old and older... there is quite a lot of scary violence... a few words...but no sex or nudity. Too busy trying to survive the escaped dinosaurs to think about a roll in the hay. :)

I used to think this was a trashy movie. Now this seems like a masterpiece compared to it's sequels. It's still not the original, but all the references are there. They also did a decent job with the Indominus Rex: It's so cool that the movie starts with it's hatching, and that you have to catch the context clues to figure it out. The CGI was actually the best out of all 6 movies IMO. This was the only Jurassic World movie to properly show dinosaurs on a massive scale.It's the same story as all the other movies, but I actually think it was handled well. They managed to give it a similar feel as the original, while adhering the plot to be more action/adventure oriented. There is actually some character development, which feels like a breath of fresh air in 2022.The dialogue was pretty witty at times, and they did a good job of giving Jurassic World lots of lore in the background. The cinematography was super good. Overall I actually recommend this movie. Maybe my standards have really dropped lol, but I really do think this movie deserves a spot in the Jurassic Park franchise.

As some other reviewers have noted, there IS a certain amount of predictability in ALL these films, much of it due to the limited plausible locations, creatures, etc. However, I, like most people, don't really give a damn. It has realistic dinosaurs, including bringing back ol' T-Rex, (my all time favorite!), so what more do you want? I watch these movies for the DINOSAURS, and I haven't been disappointed yet! If you want fancy, complicated story lines, go watch Masterpiece Theater. If you love great Dinosaurs, watch the "Jurassic Park/World" movies!

Replacement for a copy lost in the move. The movie itself is awesome.The paper liner for the cover is fine, but the plastic of the movie case is actually wrinkled (as seen in the picture provided), denoting probable poor storage prior to shipping. Was packaged well, but sent in a large Amazon envelope as opposed to one that would easily fit in a mailbox. I had to dig through a large package locker to find it. So, no problem with the movie itself, perhaps some with the shipper. Luckily it isn't a Christmas gift for someone else.

There is much discussion elsewhere on this film in terms of plot summary, meaning,value, and acting, so I won't get into that. My reviews and my ratings for all Blu Ray discs are strictly regarding the quality of the transfer from Standard Definition to Blu Ray. Keep in mind that the quality of what you see and hear also depends upon the quality of TV monitor you are using and its accompanying home theater processor and speakers. I have a pretty high end, 7.1 esoteric system and am judging the Blu Ray off of that. My 5 stars are based upon the quality of the Blu Ray and not necessarily the movie itself.VIDEO QUALITY..... The video quality of this blu ray is hard to beat. There was no need for remastering a company would do for an older film since this film was shot using the latest and greatest film cameras as well as upgrades for the many CGI effects. Color grading and resolution is top notch with vibrant yet realistic colorization and warm and true to life skin tones. Eschewing the artificiality of even the most recent of digital cameras, the filmic look still does not produce any grain that I could see and there were certainly no dropouts or video artifacts that were in any way noticeable. With the many fast action scenes one might suspect that there would be a degree of aliasing and stair stepping, especially in wide angle panoramic shots, but I saw none of these things. Details, even in the darkest of scenes and shadows were very present and sharply contrasted so nothing visual was lost in the move to Blu Ray. In fact, contrast throughout the entirety of the film was excellent. The average Mbps rate, which I checked many times while viewing, appeared to be in the high 30's and often went over that, especially so in the fast action scenes as would be expected.AUDIO QUALITY.... For me, the quality of the audio is equally as important as the video and Jurassic World made the smart move of using a lossless 7.1 DTS HD MA audio for those with 7.1 audio systems. If you are using a 5.1 audio system, there is no need for concern as the extra 2 channels will simply be muxed into the 4 and 5 rear channels of your current system. The advantages of this 7.1 audio make themselves quickly apparent as, especially in the first half of the film, there are a great many audio foley fx that are discreetly sent to the left and right rears as well as sides. Panning between the front and rear audio stages are frequent and very realistic. The LFE sub channel gets down deep in some parts and sounds beautifully clean when doing so. Dialogue is easy to understand and transparent and audio levels are set perfectly so that once you have set the volume of your system to your liking, you will not have to play roller coaster with your remote's volume control. With a fine fitting soundtrack that knows when soundtrack music should take a back seat to the actual sounds and noises of the environment , the audio editors did an excellent job of steering many foley effects to the side and rear channels. This discreet directionality of sound, when appropriate, really enhances your listening pleasure. The audio as a whole serves the purpose of fully immersing you into the Jurassic World environment. Jurassic World is definitely demo worthy for those who want to show off their sound system.EXTRAS..... I was very pleased to see that there were no 'previews' of other films on this Blu Ray. These ads for other films just take up more room on the disc that cause for more compression and quality loss of the film you are actually paying for. Jurassic World is full of extras and I won't say that I have seen them all as yet. The several deleted scenes were fully finished in post production and I believe that, at least some of them, should have been included as part of an extended version. However, their loss does not take away from the film as a whole. Also included as extras were several 'Making of' documentaries that they no longer call 'Making of' but, in fact, that is what they are. These included how many of the special effects were created, the improvements they have made within the CGI post production and commentary of the film. And finally, there is the Digital Disc that is included that allows you to go to the Universal website to upload to VUDU, iTunes and Universal. The redeeming of the code was pretty easy so watching it on your tablet while away from home or flying should work. One never knows about anything in the cloud. Whether you liked the film or not, and I did though I found nothing ground breaking in terms of storyline of effects, the actual quality of this Blu Ray is superb and I gave it 5 stars on that technical basis. I do hope that this review, which focused solely upon the quality of the actual transfer to Blu Ray has been of some help to you in deciding your purchase. All of my reviews are of this nature and I hope they can be of HELP to you as well.Thanks for reading.

So, the movie is great, but this 4K release isn't really what you'd expect in terms of quality. It's not bad, but it's not great. The main reason this isn't getting a higher rating is because there are problems in the picture: somehow, grain has been introduced that didn't previously exist on the BluRay release. In most scenes it isn't noticeable, however, there are scenes in which it turns into noise and becomes incredibly distracting. There are also problems with pixelation in some of these scenes which look like it make have been encoded incorrectly. Claire's dress, for instance, is white - except for the pixels that don't seem to display correctly, which makes it look dappled with blue specs, perhaps this is something to do with the HDR encoding.

Although it's sequels lowered the tone and quality a little, the first of the original Jurassic films from Spielberg was incredible (especially for it's time) and was always going to be a pretty tough standard for this new addition to the franchise to be measured against. But I don't think this new film really could have come much closer than it has done to holding up against such comparisons and it's certainly managed to fix a patch over the less enchanting Jurassic Park 2 & 3 sequels - it looks absolutely amazing, with advances in film making and CGI having come so far since the first film, the park has never looked better, the dinosaurs have never looked more lifelike and the film manages to give a true sense of scale to the island and it's inhabitants. Visually, it's a fantastic.And it's great that we finally get to see the park how it was intended to be at last - fully functioning and crammed full of paying guests, many of whom will inevitably of course become dino-snacks for the prehistoric beasts (large and small) they have come to gawp at. The park has a great feel to it and as all the guests excitably explore it's many features and star attractions you can't help but get excited about the fact that at some point you know it's going to all go horribly wrong, which is when the real action will kick in.There is a familiar face or two but the new cast who see us through the unfolding chaos are mostly great - Chris Pratt makes for a great dinosaur trainer/hero with his rough and ready charm and easy humour and there is fairly decent chemistry between him and his female counterpart, Bryce Dallas - the park manager, who together are trying to contain the chaos (and death count) whilst also trying to keep her two nephews safe, who have picked the worst week possible to come and see the island. The older of the two nephews perhaps wasn't quite ready for a film this big but given his age you can't really hold it against him too much.The film might be fairly formulaic but there are some nice nods to the original film along with new and improved dinosaurs (and the addition of some Chris-Pratt-Trained friendly raptors helping to save the day was a nice touch) and the two hours flew by with plenty of action.

I have seen all of the Jurassic Park movies, and for me, besides the original, which is of course still the best, this is the best of the sequels. I really felt the franchise had had its day after two recent disappointing outings back-to-back (Jurassic Park 2 & 3), but this one rekindles (almost all of) the magic of the first one!I love the different setting of this one, and I like the way it completes what was intended with the first 'Jurassic Park' - i.e. a theme park where these dinosaurs are displayed! The new actors also breathe some fresh air into the franchise, as do the new dinosaurs! I won't give any spoilers re:plot, but it's got the usual dose of peril and action as the other films. Just a really enjoyable, easy to watch movie, ideal to relax with a beer and some popcorn with - loved it!

I would like to point out that the Product I ordered was Blue-Ray 3D and Blue Ray Disk and I received the Blu-Ray 3D and Digital download disk, the barcode on the shrink wrap is correct but the contents is only the 3D disk I can only assume that the fault is with the supplier and not Amazon, so if you are after the 3D disk and Blu-ray disk you will only get the 3D disk, and if you look at the photo of the product it is for the Blu-Ray 3D and Blu-Ray disk so be aware you will only get the 3D version, the price of £4.29 is still a bargain.

This is a review of the standard Region-free Blu-ray.If you are a fan of the earlier 'Jurassic Park' films, you will also enjoy 'Jurassic World'. In many ways, the older films are formulaic, and this is written and produced very much to that same, highly successful, formula:Take a handsome, hunky alpha male, an attractive but not too ditzy female, and some cute kids of various sizes, add some superb locations, some totally inept authority figures and a large number of teeth. Shake and stir, season with a lot of fake blood, and serve hot and fast.Jurassic World follows this formula to the letter. It has merely increased the size of the teeth, and the numbers of potential victims in jeopardy, with the new Theme Park already operating and in full swing, as the film opens. However, it produces a very entertaining result from this ‘dynos' by-the-numbers, adding a nice little twist by having Velociraptors, formerly one of the arch villains, now being called upon to be part of the solution. ‘Cute Velociraptors’ are probably beyond even Hollywood’s abilities for invention, but this will certainly have improved their profile!All in all, this is a good, entertaining family film, certainly a good choice for a wet Sunday afternoon. Enjoy!
