Jurassic World (4K UHD) [Blu-ray] [2018] [Region Free]

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.

Bought for my adult granddaughter who has been obsessed with Jurassic Park since she was a little girl. She was thrilled.

NICE

Two thumbs up!

Who doesn’t love dinosaurs?

Good movie

The movie flows smoothly from one scene to the next. Every scene is something dangerous and unexpected. You can't take your eyes off of it. It has a good ending.
