I’ve been hearing things about Jurassic Park having color timing issues due to DNR, the 3D release was from the 35mm and is supposed to reflect its original color, im a little disappointed because I love Jurassic park and think it looks great on blu ray, but knowing now that the new one is a better transfer pisses me off because universal should have made that 4k master the go to print for the standard blu ray as well maybe they’ll release a new edition

I think you’re getting the wrong impression about color-timing. Both were originally taken from the film negative. Films are digitally color-timed for home video. This sometimes reflects the original colors, but usually doesn’t. In the case of Jurassic Park, neither release fully retains the original color timing, though the 3D is technically closer (still way off). If you want to watch JP in the best way (IMO), watch the 35mm theatrical print version that’s on the 'Spleen. That is, if you’re on there.

EDIT: And DNR has nothing to do with color-timing. DNR stands for Digital Noise Reduction, which refers to the removal off noise (or grain) of the image, and does not have any direct impact on the colors.
