This October (hopefully in AU/NZ as well), Universal Studios Home Entertainment will bring one of the most popular film series of all time to Blu-ray: the Jurassic Park Ultimate Trilogy. Based on Michael Crichton's best-selling novel, director Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park created a world where science brought the dinosaurs back to life, a world further explored in its popular sequels The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park III.

I am so looking forward to this, what do you all think of this news.

Spielberg's films tend to not have much in the way of supplements so while I always would like more I never expect it. Would love him to do commentaries but he never does too.

Still need to pick this up but I am insanely excited for it. Mainly just for the films themselves, they should look amazing. Can't say I really care for getting 3 but whatever. Barely remember it. The price is right.

The only thing I really remember about the 3rd one was them trying to out t-rex the T-Rex with the Spinosaurus..

i also read somewhere that there are talks with speilberg about making a 4th one ...

That really is a shame as for me Jurassic Park is of the past and is of the time that it was made. On the eve of CG, proving the capabilities of it aswell as still using more traditional film methods alongside it.
A 4th film is redundant in my view. Spielberg should focus on telling new stories like he has been.
