I came across an open matte copy of Jurassic Park which showed the boom mics in shot, and in the overhead shot where Ian Malcolm is heard saying “what have they got in there, King Kong?” you can clearly see the end of the track that the tour car is moving on, revealing it to be just a short section used for that particular shot (why they never used the longer track seen in the wide shot with the cars moving through the gates I don’t know).

The file was in 1920x1080 res at about 6gb (HEVC MKV), very good resolution and was nice to see the film with a more saturated look with the more orangery look of the reds and browns. During shots of the CGI effects the image is shown in a wide aspect, and I’ve heard this was the way the effects shots were filmed, but I did notice that the left hand side of the frame during those CGI shots that it’s cropped slightly but the right side shows more than the DVD and bluray version but the bluray and DVD versions show more than the open matte version. Does anyone know why the left side is cropped, shouldn’t it show the full image?.
