Yeah, I know the title of this review is corny, but you have to admit that this is a pretty nice boxed set. It contains all three films from the “Jurassic Park” film series. The first film stands alone as one of the most impressive and progressive films of its time. It featured the best special effects of its time and each film builds on these effects. Let’s break each film down:

“Jurassic Park” Five stars

Perhaps the greatest dinosaur film ever made, “Jurassic Park” features brilliant special effects, wonderful acting and a great plotline filled with suspense and horror. With Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Richard Attenborough heading up a small cast of characters including Samuel L. Jackson, this film is sure to be a winner in anyone’s collection. Briefly, this is the tale of a man who hopes to cash in on genetically bred dinosaurs by creating a sort of theme park that allows the average man to get an up-close-and-personal look at T-Rex,…

Adventure Pack, January 17, 2006

There have been a few other boxed sets that were a bit “glitzier”, with more bells and whistles. This Adventure Pack is simply designed and includes only the 3 discs in a tri-fold cardboard case within a hard cardboard box. You get the 3 Collector’s Edition discs that were released individually over the years. The box itself is cool, although the front flaps hang open, with nothing to keep them closed – kind of annoying, but not a big deal. The discs are well-protected.

All 3 Jurassic Park movies for under .00 is quite amazing.

A Great Space-saver!, December 2, 2005

We liked all three of the movies although the second one wasn’t as interesting once the t-rex was brought to the U.S. It seems to be more edge-of-your-seat when the heroes are stranded on the dinosaur’s home turf and at a disadvantage. I would rate the first movie as the best, with the third being next best and The Lost World coming in third. We already have all three on dvd but I liked the packaging on this release as it takes up less shelf space and keeps all three movies together, making them easier to locate. With three kids running loose that’s a big plus! Unlike some multi-disk packages the container on this one is sturdy and protects the movies, and looks pretty cool, too. The disks themselves look great with dinosaur scenes in color on each, unlike the older red, black, and white versions. Also, I discovered that the third movie can be heard in DTS 5.1 as well as Dolby 5.1 just like the first dvd release for those of you with a DTS decoder. So, to sum it all up, I agree with…
