Add “Jurassic Park” to the list.

The 3D restoration removed studio lights, potted plants, wires and the plastic tarp visible in the last shot when the Helicopter heads out to the ocean towards mainland. Also added was a lightning flash in the Triceratops scene which wasn’t there in the original version. I personally like all these changes as they make the film better and less distracting. I especially love the bright lightning burst which not only adds more impact to the scene but adds more sense of danger and the subtle hint of nature’s fury. They also polished the CGI models, especially the final T-Rex roar, which looks fantastic now.

I like that they went back to the warmer colour timing of the prints, but they went a bit overboard and things tilted towards pink sometimes, especially skin tones. This is the problem with digital grading, it never looks and feels natural. The colours on the original print look far more natural and pleasing to the eyes, despite being warm. Also they cropped the framing too much for my liking. Dinosaur heads and snouts got chopped out.

I don’t like the audio changes. Mountain Lion vocals were added in the Velociraptor Kitchen scene. And additional bird sounds were added in the scene where Grant is trying to convince Tim to come out of the Explorer that is stuck on the tree.
