The 1993 movie Jurassic Park is one of the all-time great summer blockbusters. It helped kick off the CGI era, and it still totally holds up today, all these years after release. In celebration of the film’s milestone 30th anniversary, it’s getting a great-looking new collector’s edition in the Universal Essentials Collection. It includes the movie on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and digital — and it’s Movies Anywhere-compatible. It’s out June 27, and it’s available to preorder now for $34.99.
Preorder Jurassic Park 30th Anniversary Edition
In addition to the movie Jurassic Park, this collection includes the following items:
- 42-page booklet featuring behind-the-scenes, storyboards, original artwork, trivia, and more
- Film cell replica of an iconic scene from the movie
- 4 illustrated art cards
- Reversible sleeve with original poster art
- Numbered certificate of authenticity
I’m far from objective when discussing this movie, as Jurassic Park is my favorite movie of all time. I’ve watched it scores of times over the years, starting with a beloved VHS copy, which is now lost to time. I recently re-read the Michael Crichton book for the first time in decades (it’s quite different from the movie in many parts, but it’s still a great read). Even so, most filmgoers will probably agree this movie has carved out its spot in film history as one of the all-time greats.
It’s spawned memes: shirtless Ian Malcolm, Ian Malcom saying “Well, there it is,” and a priceless melodica version of the theme for starters. It’s spawned five sequels (you can preorder the whole series in a new collection, by the way). It’s an important movie, and this collection looks great.
