Excellent insight to the filmmaking process is shown with some pre-production meetings. Spielberg and his crew discuss various sequences and effects shots along with other problems. In the same vein are some location scouting videos shot on VHS with a camcorder. Spielberg reveals his plans on how he intends to use the environment for specific shots, though video quality on both of these features is pretty abysmal. A brief feature is also included on the foley artists. Rounding off the disc are some production photos, sketches, and proposed storyboards (including some of a scene in which the 'Rex attacks Grant and the kids in a raft). A few trailers are also included along with the original teaser for "Jurassic Park III." (****)

"Jurassic Park" is one of the new classics. Not quite old enough to really solidify its high ranking spot in movie history, rest assured when the time comes, it will be right up there with the best Hollywood has ever offered. The sequels don't even come close to achieving what this film has done, nor do any of the copycats. This is a once in a lifetime movie, and one that will never be equaled.

*It must be noted that purchasing the box set of all three films in the series buys you a special fourth disc with only special features on it, covering all three films. The disc is rather unremarkable, though some of the footage does make it worth owning.
