While Jurassic World Rebirth might still be rumbling through the global cinema jungle like a rampage of T-Rexes, adding to a worldwide cinematic take that already exceeds three quarters of a billion dollars, Universal has already announced details of its blockbuster’s home video release. Including a 4K Blu-ray release that promises many hours of bonus features and what looks set to be (on paper, anyway) formidable picture and sound quality.
The Jurassic World Rebirth 4K Blu-ray is scheduled to arrive on September 9 – just over a month after the film debuts to own or rent on streaming platforms today (August 5). The film’s 4K disc master will get a Dolby Atmos soundtrack (Universal seems to have moved on from its old practice of using DTS mixes on its Jurassic Park/World disc releases), while the video will be presented in 4K resolution, of course, with a Dolby Vision HDR transfer. This Dolby Vision master will, as ever, default to core HDR10, minus Dolby Vision’s extra scene by scene image data, for people who don’t own DV-capable 4K Blu-ray players or TVs.
Universal’s press information states that the two-hour 13-minute film is going to be mastered onto a 100Gb 4K Blu-ray disc rather than the 66Gb alternative. Hopefully Universal’s claims here will prove more accurate than Disney’s claims that its recent release of Master And Commander: The Far Side Of The World would get a 100GB disc proved to be…
The 100GB disc should give the picture quality more room to breathe, meaning less potential for compression artefacts and softness to creep in – as well as helping the discs accommodate the extremely healthy collection of extra features Universal has assembled to accompany the movie.
There’s literally hours of bonus stuff for film fans to get their teeth into. Starting with not one but two feature-length commentary tracks: One featuring director Gareth Edwards, production designer James Clyne and first assistant director Jack Ravenscroft, and one featuring director Edwards again, but this time joined by editor Jabez Olssen and visual effects supervisor David Vickery.
The rest of the promised bonus features stack up as follows:
