All three films from the 'Jurassic Park' trilogy. In 'Jurassic Park' (1993) eccentric scientist John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) plans to open a theme park consisting of live dinosaurs, genetically engineered from DNA found in a preserved prehistoric mosquito. Archaeologists Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) are invited to view the park, along with chaos theory expert Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), only to find themselves being hunted when the dinosaurs break free. In 'The Lost World - Jurassic Park' (1997) the action takes us four years on from the events documented in the previous film, when dinosaurs have bred on the neighbouring site of Isla Sorna. Park founder John Hammond (Attenborough) gets back in touch with Ian Malcolm (Goldblum) and asks him to join his girlfriend Sarah (Julianne Moore), who is already on the island, hoping that together they might be able to explain recent events there. But they are all unaware that a rival expedition is on its way to the island with plans to capture the dinosaurs and take them back to the mainland. 'Jurassic Park 3' (2001) has Dr Alan Grant (Neill) approached by the Kirbys (William H. Macy and Tea Leoni), a wealthy couple who want a guide to escort them on a flight over Isla Sorna. Grant agrees to take the flight; but almost as soon as they are over the island, the Kirbys move the goalposts and attempt a landing. It seems their son got lost on a previous visit and the Kirbys have mounted this expedition in order to get him back; nevertheless, it's not long before a first dinosaur attack disables the plane and the rescue party finds itself stranded and at the mercy of the island's prehistoric inhabitants.

old and 3 yr old love the latest JP film - Jurassic World
Saw these when they first came out. My 6 yr. old and 3 yr old love the latest JP film - Jurassic World, so I got them these for Christmas. No they won't have nightmares, they know these are just films and the dinosaurs are not real, and the people don't really die in the films or get eaten.

Fantastic!!!!!
What a fantastic box set!I brought this when there was only 3 films, and it was fantastic value. The quality is excellent, and the special effects are fantastic, especially considering the time these films were made.These are classics, and everyone should own these!Brilliant box set.

Grainy first film; the others look fine.
As many reviewers have noted, the main attraction, 1993's Jurassic Park, has not scrubbed up well on this Blu-ray release. It is clearly grainy. Perhaps that was the idea but I don't like it much. It's far better than the DVD, of course. The two sequels are rather cleaner in texture. There are plenty of extras both old and new, but of course no Spielberg commentaries.

One great film and 2 less so
I am not a huge Jurassic Park fan but for under a tenner this set seems decent value to fill a gap in my collection.Jurassic Park (original) is a class film in its own right and looks fantastic on Blu Ray.The other two films are very much the inferiors. Lost World is decent enough but Jurassic Park III is barely watchable.The Ultra-Violet copies work well enough, for UV.

How far we've come since then
These films are great little romps through dino-world gone bad, and still look pretty good after all these years, but Blu-Ray does expose the fact that rendering dinosaurs these days has come on in leaps & bounds. My son is currently obsessed with dinosaurs, and watching the Beeb's Planet Dinosaur demonstrates the improvements in CGI since then, as well as all the new data the Palaeontologists have uncovered since then. I could do without John Hurt calling anything with fangs a "killer" every few seconds though. But I digress...Check in your brain at the lounge door, grab a brew and enjoy some classic scenes of peope running away screaming from the big bad dinosaur in the best quality you can (unless you have 3D). Why does that kid start waving the torch about in the first film though? I mean... why? The Spinosaurus in the 3rd film is my favourite, but Tea Leoni's screaming did get on my nerves after a while. You just know all the nasty people are going to get dismembered (and a few of the good guys too - very heroically of course), and I'd kind of forgotten Peter Stormaire's cameo in Lost World as an appetiser for a bunch of tiny Compsognathus? Compsognathii?. I can't believe I didn't even need to look that up... oh the things that parenthood teaches you!Good fun, and a good price. Having seen my son unfazed by the blood and guts of Planet Dinosaur, I'm wondering if he'd be ok watching this. Probably best to wait until he asks... cue the call from social services!

Great movies especially for older dinosaur loving kids
Might be a bit scary for the littlest kids but great for older ones 7-11 and even adults,helps them to understand what we believe dinosaurs were like when they were alive.Boxset cases and DVDs were in good condition but outer sleeve was a bit tatty but expected with preowned

The Past Era
Yes this one is for my collection, The story is fabulous and the acting is marvelous drawing you into the movie making you part of it, Nothing like anything else. One of the top movies for the year maybe just me, but when you collect you have got to find something different and this is it. The monsters do their jobs at a fast pace that will keep you on your toes, exciting and a whirl spin of a roller coaster ride of effects that will keep you intrigued with it all. Now it's not for the very young as it is so realistic that you won't move when you come into contact with the creatures. Dinosaurs and humans just don't mix. A fast paced action edge of the seat feeling so be prepared, No more as not to spoil it for you and its a great show. I rated this an A grade plus for full on entertainment that will keep you amused so what are you waiting for, gather up the popcorn, pull up the chair, put your feet up and relax to a magnificent night of thrills and spills watching something unusual and very spooky. Enjoy!

The first film is Steven Spielberg at his best. The dinosaurs cgi was incredible for 1993
The first film is Steven Spielberg at his best.The dinosaurs cgi was incredible for 1993! The lost world was weak .Jurassic park 3 was ok....but Jurassic Park 1 gives this trilogy 5 stars!
