There is much discussion elsewhere on this film in terms of plot summary, meaning,value, and acting, so I won't get into that. My reviews and my ratings for all Blu Ray discs are strictly regarding the quality of the transfer from Standard Definition to Blu Ray. Keep in mind that the quality of what you see and hear also depends upon the quality of TV monitor you are using and its accompanying home theater processor and speakers. I have a pretty high end, 7.1 esoteric system and am judging the Blu Ray off of that. My 5 stars are based upon the quality of the Blu Ray and not necessarily the movie itself.
VIDEO QUALITY.....
The video quality of this blu ray is hard to beat. There was no need for remastering a company would do for an older film since this film was shot using the latest and greatest film cameras as well as upgrades for the many CGI effects. Color grading and resolution is top notch with vibrant yet realistic colorization and warm and true to life skin tones. Eschewing the artificiality of even the most recent of digital cameras, the filmic look still does not produce any grain that I could see and there were certainly no dropouts or video artifacts that were in any way noticeable. With the many fast action scenes one might suspect that there would be a degree of aliasing and stair stepping, especially in wide angle panoramic shots, but I saw none of these things. Details, even in the darkest of scenes and shadows were very present and sharply contrasted so nothing visual was lost in the move to Blu Ray. In fact, contrast throughout the entirety of the film was excellent. The average Mbps rate, which I checked many times while viewing, appeared to be in the high 30's and often went over that, especially so in the fast action scenes as would be expected.
AUDIO QUALITY....
For me, the quality of the audio is equally as important as the video and Jurassic World made the smart move of using a lossless 7.1 DTS HD MA audio for those with 7.1 audio systems. If you are using a 5.1 audio system, there is no need for concern as the extra 2 channels will simply be muxed into the 4 and 5 rear channels of your current system. The advantages of this 7.1 audio make themselves quickly apparent as, especially in the first half of the film, there are a great many audio foley fx that are discreetly sent to the left and right rears as well as sides. Panning between the front and rear audio stages are frequent and very realistic. The LFE sub channel gets down deep in some parts and sounds beautifully clean when doing so. Dialogue is easy to understand and transparent and audio levels are set perfectly so that once you have set the volume of your system to your liking, you will not have to play roller coaster with your remote's volume control. With a fine fitting soundtrack that knows when soundtrack music should take a back seat to the actual sounds and noises of the environment , the audio editors did an excellent job of steering many foley effects to the side and rear channels. This discreet directionality of sound, when appropriate, really enhances your listening pleasure. The audio as a whole serves the purpose of fully immersing you into the Jurassic World environment. Jurassic World is definitely demo worthy for those who want to show off their sound system.
EXTRAS.....
I was very pleased to see that there were no 'previews' of other films on this Blu Ray. These ads for other films just take up more room on the disc that cause for more compression and quality loss of the film you are actually paying for.
Jurassic World is full of extras and I won't say that I have seen them all as yet. The several deleted scenes were fully finished in post production and I believe that, at least some of them, should have been included as part of an extended version. However, their loss does not take away from the film as a whole.
Also included as extras were several 'Making of' documentaries that they no longer call 'Making of' but, in fact, that is what they are. These included how many of the special effects were created, the improvements they have made within the CGI post production and commentary of the film.
And finally, there is the Digital Disc that is included that allows you to go to the Universal website to upload to VUDU, iTunes and Universal. The redeeming of the code was pretty easy so watching it on your tablet while away from home or flying should work. One never knows about anything in the cloud.
Whether you liked the film or not, and I did though I found nothing ground breaking in terms of storyline of effects, the actual quality of this Blu Ray is superb and I gave it 5 stars on that technical basis.
I do hope that this review, which focused solely upon the quality of the actual transfer to Blu Ray has been of some help to you in deciding your purchase. All of my reviews are of this nature and I hope they can be of HELP to you as well.
Thanks for reading.

Jurassic World Synopsis
Twenty-two years ago, John Hammond envisioned a theme park where guests could experience the thrill of witnessing actual dinosaurs. Today, Jurassic World welcomes tens of thousands of visitors, but something ferocious lurks behind the park’s attractions: a genetically modified dinosaur with savage capabilities. When chaos erupts across the island, Owen (Chris Pratt, Guardians of the Galaxy) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard, The Help) race to restore order as a day in the park becomes a struggle for survival.

| Bio | We set out to make Indominus the most fearsome dinosaur ever to be displayed at Jurassic World. The genetic engineers at our Hammond Creation Lab have more than delivered. At first glance, Indominus most closely resembles a T. rex. But its distinctive head ornamentation and ultra-tough bony osteoderms can be traced from Theropods known as Abelisaurs. Indominus' horns have been placed above eye orbit through genetic material hybridized from Carnotaurus, Majungasaurus, Rugops and Giganotosaurus. Fearsome indeed. Indominus' roar is estimated to reach 140-160db - the same as a 747 taking off and landing. And it can reach speeds of 30 mph...while confined to its enclosure. | Mosasaurus once ruled the Cretaceous seas. An immense seagoing lizard - and not an actual dinosaur - Mosasaurus can use its fearsome array of teeth to catch fish, birds, and other marine reptiles - even great white sharks. In fact, Mosasaurus has a second set of teeth in its upper palate that ensures any prey sliding down its throat will not be able to escape. | The Pteranodon is our Jurassic World's biggest pterosaur, or flying reptile. With a wider wingspan than any known bird, it's primarily a fish eater, though Pteranodon is very aggressive. | Among the largest carnivores to have ever stalked the planet, Tyrannosaurus was one fearsome dinosaur. Tyrannosaurus fossils have shown toothmarks that could have only been made by their own kind. | The Velociraptor is our park's most intelligent dinosaur. Always on the hunt, they are not yet trained for public display. |

Jurassicly Stellar Picture and Sound . . .
In an ever growing catalog of Blu-ray titles, only a select few releases stand out as being superior and above the "norm". In my opinion, This offering of Jurassic World meets that superior standard. Contrary to the Amazon Product Details which shows an aspect ratio of 2.20 to 1, this Blu-ray actually delivers a seldom used 2.00 to 1 picture image. This rare aspect allows your television display to light up far more pixel real estate than the commonly used 2.40 and 2.35 to 1, but DOES give an added element of theatrical widescreen effect versus the full frame 1.85 or 1.78 to 1. Universal has done an outstanding job not only with using this unique aspect ratio, but also with contrast, brightness, color saturation, etc. This disc release offers razor sharp clarity with great consistency, and shows tremendous quality both in long shot cinematography as well as close up event scenes. On a scale of 1 through 10, the picture quality is definitely a solid "10". The audio soundtrack is just as brilliant as the picture image, offering a wide and intricate dynamic range with finite crystal clarity and thundering loud effects when appropriate. Beyond the entertainment aspect of the movie itself, this disc release offers a great visual and audio experience. I viewed this disc using an inexpensive Sony 4K Upscaling BD player, and 55" Hitachi 4K Television. While the movie played, I snapped a few digital camera pictures in order to be able to show real world results of the offered picture quality. The images will be added to the bottom of this review. Take note of the unique 2.00 to 1 aspect ratio, as well as the overall picture clarity.Regarding the movie itself, . . . it is spectacular. Jurassic World does an excellent job of providing a fresh and vibrant approach to the "Jurassic" theme, including an all new cast of characters, while also paying direct tribute to the very first Jurassic Park film. Some of the memorable props from the original movie are even used in a unique and creative way. The story flows well and pacing is very swift, you definitely won't be dozing off during this one!!! JUST GREAT.This Blu-ray / DVD Combo is easily purchased either "new" or "used" at a very low price. At the time that I ordered my copy, I was able to place a nice used copy in the mailbox for about 6 dollars (different site with colorful 4 letter name). GOOD LUCK!!!Pictures Below . . .
