How do the Jurassic Park movies look on blu?

I've been hearing mixed reviews.

I had a chance to get the trilogy the other day for 26 bucks,but didn't know if it was worth the upgrade after what I've read,heard.

How did you find it to be?

Easily worth the upgrade (especially at that price! I got my steelbook set for like $60? I didn't care though, favorite movie :lol:). They look great and especially sound great. B)

The 10 or so Bond movies that have been released on Blu-ray so far had a limited release as steelbooks. Too bad the only full set I can find on eBay is like $600. :lol:

I'm definitely glad I held off though. When MGM had that bankruptcy thing going on a couple years ago I figured that'd get in the way of releasing the rest of the films on Blu-ray, which it did. Then as soon as that was over with I figured they'd do a giant box set for the 50th anniversary of the franchise.

How many blus do you have in your collection, Zint? And which do you think is your favorite?

erm...I'll have to get back to you on that.

Ever go though one of those phases where you get a pille of new ones that sit around unfiled for awhile?

Well that's where I'm at right now.

Pretty sure I have over 50 blu Criterions alone though.

(and the GOLD RUSH should arrive any day)..The 39 Steps and the Samurai Trilogy soon to follow.

Favs?...gotta think about that..particularly fond of my Akira Kurosawa collection.(Seven Samurai :wub: )

Keep going back to Ladies and Gentlemen,The Rolling Stones though...may have played that more than any other. B)

I go through that phase every month! :lol: Hell, those Scream movies I bought are still in the plastic (granted I got them with a giftcard, but still). I've got a bunch more that I got weeks and even months ago that are still unopened! Then there are the ones that I opened, but still haven't watched :tongue2:

I don't have any Criterion :( Not really too, too many that I want, honestly. Though there are some; Gojira, 12 Angry Men, Being John Malkovich, etc.

I still have yet to get any Stones on blu, also, even though I asked you a bunch of opinions on them weeks ago. :lol: I just need/want to sell the blus I don't want right now, and get the ones I'm trading to a guy in Belgium for some steels, and hopefully I can take a break on them... even though that'll hardly last long :P

Excellent choices there!

Are Paths of Glory and The Thin Red Line on that list??

I've never seen Paths of Glory but The Thin Red line is now on the list. :)

Also, traded some of my digital copies (I don't use them) to someone online for a copy of War of the Worlds, so I'm pretty excited about that. Read some reviews and it looks like the video and especially audio quality are great. And from what I remember, the movie is pretty good, too ;)

For anyone maybe thinking about the Alien Anthology who hasn't gotten it yet...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Alien-Anthology-Comicon-Egg-Package-Blu-ray-Widescreen-/140763512730

Great price for this edition! I already have the boxset version, but when I saw this today I somewhat considered trying to sell it to get this version :lol:

The boxset version is also currently $37 on Amazon! I may actually consider that since the bonus discs would be nice to have even if Alien 3 and Resurrection wouldn't be :tongue2:

Oh come on, they're still (somewhat) enjoyable :tongue2:

I'm terrible with this stuff - I know I shouldn't sell my boxset, but it's so tempting to have that packaging :lol:

Hell, like I posted in the thread before, I'm somewhat considering spending $300 for steelbook versions of the Harry Potter movies :lol:
