Summary: Three great movies in a pack
Review: The Jurassic Park films are very good and are in this four disk DVD set. The first film was onestly the worst of the series. Still it was the first film ever with realistic special effects. Also it was the first film that showed dinosaurs not as reptiles but as warm blooded creatures. It was recently proven with a dinosaur heart. It also had a great idea bring them back with cloning plus great action. Yet the film has very bad scientific problems. First the t-rex vision based on movement was absolute garbage and even if the 1% chance of it being true it still would have sniffed them. Now the dilophisaur shouldn't have spit like that or had that frill. Now the raptors were to big, should have had feathers, and were too smart. Now to move on to the Lost World. It was much better than the first. It has a world were dinosaurs roam free. There was no vision based on movement no dilophosaur and the raptors were not as smart. It has intense action and shows dinosaurs as good partents. Problems, mainly Kelly she was the movies thorn. Jurassic Park 3 was about equal to the second but way better than the first. It has more dino shots than the first 2 films combined. Though not the breackthrough that the first was in movies Jurassic Park 3 has animation so good in some scenes you can't tell the difference between anamatronic and CGI. It involves the return of Allen Grant and how the is tricked into returning to the island. We see the raptors with feather crests. Though I wish they had more crests are better than featherless ones of the first two. Jurassic Park 3 has Spinosaurs instead of t-rex in most scenes. Spinosaurs was the same size as t-rex if you count the sail with more powerful arms but less powerful jaws. The battle was one of the coolest battle scene in the history of movies. Buy this all three films have great picture and sound plus lots of supplements. It will please you until Jurassic Park 4 comes out.

Summary: A Great Buy!!!
Review: This movie is a great buy, all 3 of them are good to buy but then there is that 4th disk that has all of the great stuff on it. I went to see them all in theaters because there all worth it and it is good to buy it and watch them over and over again.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: 1-Great, 2-Awful, 3-Best of All
Review: The first JP blew everyone away. It was unlike anything anyone had ever seen. The story was well-developed and believable, and the special F/X knocked everything else off the charts.

JP2, ahhhh. JP2 just blew everyone.

But JP3 was an amazing recovery! It had the most dinosaurs, most action, most suspense, and most gore (don't even pretend like you don't want it) of all!

JP1-**** / JP2-** / JP3-*****

Summary: Looks great!
Review: I pre-ordered this item right after I heard it was coming out!
I love the Jurassic Park movies! I grew up with the first one and it totally changed the way I looked at movies! The Lost World was ok, but not as fun and exciting as the first one. And then, when I heard that Jurassic Park III was coming out, I was soooo excited, and you know what? I LOVED IT. It was great to sit in the cinema, hearing John Williams' great music for the first Jurassic Park movie again(which sadly didn't play much in The Lost World). It was also great to have Sam Neill and Laura Dern back! The 4th bonus disc also looks sweet!

(...)

All in all, this looks like it's gonna be a great box-set!

Summary: Bonus Disc !!!!
Review: This box set is very cool. It has all three films plus a bonus fourth disc containg footage never before seen from the trilogy. If you already bought the first three films, don't panic just yet. I heard that Universal is being very cool by allowing the bonus disc and cover box to be purchased separetly. Although I do not see it on Amazon yet, I am 99.9% sure that it will be aviable. Enjoy!

Summary: An Aventure 65 Million Years in the Making
Review: "This is just a delay. All major theme parks have delays. When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked."
"Yeah john, but if Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't EAT the tourists."
- John Hammond and Ian Malcom

When Steven Spielberg makes an adventure movie, you can be assured that whatever comes on the screen, it's going to be exciting. Since seeing Raiders of the Lost Ark, I had waited to see a movie that evoked the same feeling of wonder, adventure, character, and adrenaline that made Dr. Jones's first adventure a classic. Then, once the first trailer for Jurassic Park rolled before Aladdin in 1992, I knew I had found one.

An avid dinosaur fan since toddler age, any sort of dinosaur movie sounded like a good idea in the early ninteies. However, Jurassic Park was in a class of its own when released, and remains so today. Based on the Micheal Crichton book of the same name, Spielberg's Messazoic adventure centers around a theme park where dinosaurs have been cloned through fossilized DNA found in mosquitos. Sure, the science isn't rock-solid, but it's more than a usuable base for a fantastic adventure yarn. The action picks up when a greedy employee causes a power outage, and the dinosaurs get loose, terrorising the visitors.

All the principal cast in the first movie was fantastic, bringing life and distinct personality to the characters. However, the real stars are the dinosaurs. Created by both Industrial Light and Magic and Stan Winston, the creative geniuses behind Terminator 2, the digital and animatronic creations were absolutely mind-blowing in 1993, and still hold up today. It could have overwhelmed the movie, but Spielberg has always known how to use special effects to enhance the story, and use action and character to advance it. Jurassic Park is a case study in fantastic pacing, fun characters, and tense action/adventure. 5/5

In 1997, Universal released a sequel, again based on a Micheal Crichton novel. The Lost World: Jurassic Park, again helmed by Spielberg, featured more characters, more dinosaurs, bigger effects, and bigger action. Jeff Goldblum returns as Dr. Ian Malcom, a man who has fallen on hard times after the incident on Isla Nublar. When he finds that there is another island with dinosaurs on it, one there there are no fences to constrain them, he is appalled, and wants nothing to do with the operation to doccument the animals until he learns that his girlfriend is already on the island.

Once we reach the second site, the movie hits the ground running, providing thrills and chills from both the dinosaurs and the greedy human hunters who want to expoit the island to bail out their failing company. However, though the action is solid, the story is a little on the weak side, and Sam Neill's Alan Grant is sorely missed, as he brought so much to the first film. However, The Lost World is still a good way to spend an afternoon if you're looking for some good prehistoric fun. 4/5

Jurassic Park III saw far less hype and a smaller scope than either of its predecessor's. Helmed by Jumanji's Joe Johnston, Jurassic Park III features the return of Sam Neill as Alan Grant, an aging scientist who sees his field's support dimishing quickly. When a wealthy magnate offers him a large sum of money to give them an arial tour of Site B, he accepts.

What he doesn't know is that the couple is, in reality, looking for their lost son, who disappeared on the island two weeks earlier. In their race to find the boy, Grant, his assistant, and the parents get in a mess of trouble with a T-rex, an over-sized Spinosaurus, and a vengeful pack of Velociraptors.

Though the story is fairly weak in the third outing, the narrative is focused. Johnston uses tight direction and the character conflict along withe hungry dinosaurs to keep the movie going. The action begins in the opening sequence, and for the next hour and a half, it rarely lets up. There are some great set pieces including some high-flying antics with some nasty pterosaurs, and a tense stand-off with the raptors. The best thing about this movie is that it doesn't overstay its welcome. It builds to a great climax, and once it's over, the movie is done, keeping everything tight and fun all the way through. 4/5

Overall, these are some fatnastic dinosaur movies, and the extras on the DVDs are well worth the wait. Overall: 4/5
