Jurassic Park Collection 4K UHD (1993-2015)

[rbg08]

I never understand why people find it necessary to come read a thread about a movie they don't like and then waste everyone's time posting about why they don't like the movie this thread is about. If you can't stand a film, don't read posts about it and spread your hate. Allow others to enjoy it and move on with your life.

I get this thread is about a set of films. If you only like one or two of the films, wait until the individual releases come out and then buy those. We don't care to hear which film you like and which film you dislike. Plenty of people enjoy the whole series of JP films and look forward to a complete set which saves both money and space as opposed to buying each separately.

Ignoring the recent banter on this thread...I need to ask, will all these movies have a fresh re-master? I mean 4K scanned from the original negative? This the most important question.

Just the standard set, I wasn't a fan of the steelbook they have so I just went with the regular set but I am importing the steelbook from Amazon.it to hold the 4K set in.

It seems so. Except Jurassic World.

That's all this site is anymore. There aren't enough releases to keep people entertained, I guess. Personal theory is that a lot of the people here don't even watch the movies in full, they just collect them. Like an OCD thing.

The Blu-rays are hardly reference quality are they? And perhaps some people would like to have the best versions available when they go from room to room in their homes. The cost to include new BDs is marginal against re-printing re-issues.

But Universal have been recycling the same old shit for years, I can't see them changing anytime soon.

I mean lets say you ordered at 90, it goes down to 50, but then goes up to 60 by the time it releases. Honestly not sure if you'd get it for 50 or 60.

I still don't chance any of it, takes 10 seconds to cancel and reorder.

You are locked into the lowest price, your order should automatically update to show the lowest price and if the price does go up you’re locked into the lowest price.

I check mine when I see a lower price and keep an eye on my order the make sure it shows the lower price, which it does.

It'll be interesting to see how they ultimately look, since the computer effects weren't finished in 4K and technically don't exist on the original "negative" anyway.

Yeah the blu-rays are old with ancient encodes and don't look too good. Since they are also releasing these BDs separately both as individual BDs and a BD boxset they really ought to remaster them in my opinion.

Oh, sweet irony: my most disliked film of the bunch actually looks the best of the lot on Blu-ray: Lost World is pretty damned nice, very much like a modern datacine rather than the dated old masters of JP1 and JP3, the latter has EE so bad people look like dey got forcefields around them at times.

Creating a studio remaster is not marginal.


You want the best version? Watch the 4K.

Um, what do you think they struck the interpositives from? Those interpositives had all the CG in the film.

[Geoff D]

I think he's saying that the actual camera original is not what's slugged into the negatives for those shots, and he'd be right, as it's a dupe of one form or another. Technically. But then this is true of VFX in pretty much any form, be it optically or digitally generated, so it is what it is. Any VFX-heavy film will not consist of 100% camera negative, heck, nor will most movies in general owing to the opticals needed to generate titles, subtitles, re-framed shots, wipes/fades/dissolves (if not cut to A/B rolls) etc. back in the day.

The kicker with something like Phantom Menace is that although it was shot 35mm anamorphic, 99.99% of the movie has some kind of CG element, so the filmout negative is basically the finished record of the movie (with the actual 2K filmout files being the highest-quality version available) and that cherry camera original hasn't been touched since the day it was scanned in.

Still no word on individual releases? Ideally, I'd love for best buy to do individual steelbook releases

It amuses me that this thread keeps swinging from hate for the each individual sequel to comments about the mastering to someone saying they only care about the first film and back again. You could set your watch to this stuff.

[bradnoyes]

Sometimes I have to stop and remind myself that movies I used to think were **** I can actually find a lot to appreciate about. Especially in the 4K world we now live in. With that mindset, I'm actually kind of excited to revisit Lost World and JP3.

Um, that's why I said ORIGINAL negative.

The original negative is the finished film, edits, VFX, the whole shebang. That is what is scanned if they don't use the interpositive.

The negative you're referring to is the "raw footage". They do not do home video transfers/scans from those anyway, in any "K".

Let's all just hope these 4k restorations are what we been hoping for all these years. My body is ready!!!!

I'm only concerned about the mastering of the original because I hate each and every sequel so much.
