Jurassic Park is presented in a newly remixed Dolby Atmos object-based container.

Originally mastered by legendary Hollywood sound mixer Gary Rydstrom, Jurassic Park also premiered the DTS sound format in cinemas around the world, which replaced analog sound with a digital equivalent played off synchronized CD-ROM. This single biggest upgrade to theatre sound since silent films gave way to 'talkies' in the 1930s enshrined the film as the poster child for digital sound forevermore.

Unlike its video transfer, the many iterations of Jurassic Park's home entertainment mixes have been of a consistently high level, which has seen the film in high rotation in theatre demos for over three decades. And whilst some may express preference for one over the other, for me, this Dolby Atmos re-engineer takes things to a whole new level.

Over and above the addition of object-based discreet height information, there's an overall 'freshness' to the sound mix, which doesn't betray what has come before but presents it in a more contemporary fashion. I'm not sure how exactly it's been achieved, perhaps some utilization of new filtering tools, but crucially, there doesn't seem to be any new Foley effects added.

There are no real problems to speak of with regard to dialogue, and surround and split channel utilization is ever-present. Whilst bass usage is suitably impressive, I'm sure some will wistfully recall the greatly over-cooked version from the original Laserdisc.

Overall, this is a solid improvement over what's come before and won't be controversial for the majority of fans.
