One minor scratch on the bluray book, but not the end of the world.
Both sets come with binders so no stacking. Good form Universal.
Looking good. Hopefully I will get.mine before Friday.

You (GoEagles) are correct. Both books look real nice; save for the aforementioned scratch on the blu-ray book.

seeing as how they should redeem in 4k you should be able to get at least $6 for each movie so $20-24 for all id say

This news about the no stacked discs seriously made my week, if not my month.

It’s an inevitability.

I imagine so. However, BB has been getting limited stock of these catalog films.

More shadows details and highlights at the same time (7m04s time mark especially)
It's the same thing: either the static tonemapping on the set is affecting the shadow detail, or the dynamic mode is incorrectly pumping up shadow detail (or a bit of both.)

The ST2084 transfer function is absolute, so either the set follows it (up until a reasonable distance from the clipping point) or it doesn't. I really wish they had required that all UHD sets include a reference mode with no tonemapping, just follow ST2084 as far as possible, but they didn't and here we are with no way of telling what's what. Calibration doesn't work because many sets will adjust the tonemapping depending on the content and metadata. Pretty much the only way to know for sure if you're getting the correct image or not, is to look at the code values in the raw encoded stream and check against the output luminance and see if they match according to the ST2084 function.

I might've opted for the steelbooks if I had known the discs wouldn't be stacked, but I went ahead and picked up the regular collection at Amazon and will leave it at that.

I had cancelled my Braveheart and Gladiator pre-orders when they didn't ship before release date. Then woke up a bit earlier before work on release date and re-ordered them for in-store pickup that day. No problems. Might be worth a go. If it's a Best Buy exclusive, then Shirley they would have a healthy amount of stock.

At this point can one legitimately argue they shouldn't? There is a high quality master of that negative in their digital archives that is not going anywhere; But not only that it's delivered to 4K DCP, and 4K UHD home video now.

Entirely wiggle room for the 30th anniversary to have a tangible benefit/reason to be re-released (theatrically, this is how studios justify the tens of millions cost), with touched up CGI textures/lighting. No point messing w/the animation choices. I just hope if they did all this they'd retain original design aesthetic not introducing colours and details that the sequels had! Then for a treat have 85-90% Sony results on grain management w/a pristine UHD 4K transfer.

I would double dip and feel comfortable to spend $35 premium on UHD Blu-ray for it. See it in cinema, the whole smash.

I feel there's no reason why they shouldn't update the CGI in Jurassic Park as long as they take the stance that Peter Jackson has.

Peter Jackson has said he will eventually go back and update the CGI in Lord of the Rings (Gollum in Fellowship of the Ring being his main priority) but will leave the unaltered versions of the films readily available for people who want them (any new release with the updated CGI will also contain the original version). That I think is the best way to approach it.

For Jurassic Park's next release, they should offer a "Jurassic Park Remastered" option with remastered CGI while also including the unaltered version of the film. That way, you can offer better picture quality in the CGI shots will also not annoying those who'd prefer the film be left untouched.
