Likewise, the included DTS HD Master Audio 5.1 mix has a few moments, but this is a dialogue-driven movie if there ever was one. All in all it’s a good, but not great offering visually. Detail pales in comparison to some of the more recent releases and certainly any 4K release (and this would have been a perfect catalog title for it).

Colors are strong, contrast is nearly perfect, but a few of the nighttime shots have a little movement in them.

But amidst that movie, some others did manage to turn a profit as well. Yes, it’s hard to believe that those CGI dinosaurs are a quarter of a century old.
