Notes

Story Synopsis:
Based on Michael Crichton’s novel “The Lost World” and sequel to the huge blockbuster hit Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park is an edge-of-your seat adventure filled with bigger, louder and more ferocious dinosaurs. Jeff Goldblum reprises his role as Ian Malcolm, leading an expedition to the island of Isla Sorna, where dinosaurs have survived to roam in their natural environment. Malcolm must put a stop to a team of money-hungry mercenaries, led by Pete Postlethwaite, who plan on shipping the dinosaurs to the mainland.

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture exhibits the usual improvements over its LaserDisc counterpart (reviewed in Issue 27). Images are sharp and detailed with excellent definition and clarity. Colors are nicely balanced with natural fleshtones, rich hues and deep blacks. Shadow delineation is superb with the darkest scenes revealing of good visual information. Some scenes appear overly contrasted. Occasional edge enhancement and pixelization are apparent, but distractions are fairly limited. Intermittent source element artifacts are sometimes large enough to distract. Though rated lower than the LaserDisc, it should be known that the DVD is preferred, visually. There are no noticeable differences between the two versions on DVD.

Soundtrack:
The Dolby Digital 5.1-channel discrete soundtrack essentially offers the same exciting listening experience as the previously issued Dolby Digital LaserDisc. Likewise, the DTS Digital Surround tracks on the new DVD and previous LaserDisc are similar, except for the former having a touch more detail in the higher frequencies. The low level ambience effects are incredible, and soundfield delineation is especially finely resolved on the DTS version. The low frequency effects are impressively harmonic and powerful, particularly with the DTS soundtrack. Dialogue often sounds natural with excellent spatial integration, though in some scenes, the ADR-produced dialogue is obvious. The music score is wonderful, dynamic and expansive with excellent soundstage depth.
