If you want to see more of Crichton's directing I recommend Westworld, Coma, and The First Great Train Robbery. I also recommend some of the films he penned such as Twister, The 13th Warrior, The Andromeda Strain, Rising Sun, and of course the dinosaur flicks. This is easily the best this movie has ever looked and fans will be leaping for joy when they see this transfer. There is some grain at times and the image looks a little dated, but overall this is an excellent visual presentation. The colors seem bright and free from bleeds, while flesh tones are natural at all times.
Contrast is sharp also with accurate shadow depth and no visible detail loss.
I saw some very minor artifacts, but no serious compression flaws. This release uses 4.0 surround track which creates a nice atmosphere for this film. Jerry Goldsmith's excellent score is present of course and it sounds very good in this mix. Of course this isn't as immersive as a full 5.1 surround mix would be, but it still sounds great and packs a nice punch. All the elements seem to be in order and I found no serious flaws in this mix anywhere.
