Video

While finished at 4K, the varying sources create inconsistencies in the imagery, however minor those are. A slight grain filter makes minimal impact, but it's preserved well by the encode. Softness comes and goes as the cinematography dictates. This means fluctuation in fidelity, although at its best, Jurassic World Dominion looks stellar. Facial texture soars. Details on the digital and practical dinosaurs shine.

Dolby Vision follows the color grading, veering between cool and warm palettes. Primaries have their moments, whether the forest greens or the overall warmth in the cities. Flesh tones look spot on. Bryce Dallas Howard's eyes seem to glow in close-ups. Blue's stripes stand out from his dense gray hide.

Excellent overall contrast grabs the life from snowy scenery. Contrast swells but without feeling exaggerated. Black levels prefer a dry approach early on, off from pure black, keeping shadows flatter. Dimensionality wanes by design, but picks up in the later acts. Rich shadows then begin to dominate, and Jurassic World Dominion takes on the visual weight it deserves. This isn't a constant - shadows steer toward dense blues or greens in spots - but overall, the result is impressive.

Audio

Continuing a streak that started back in 1993, Jurassic World Dominion's monster DTS:X track is world class home audio. Best of the best stuff, unquestionably. Immediately, the dinosaurs roam the screen, slamming the low-end with ridiculous force, shaking rooms, if not an entire house. The depth is reference grade at all times, and the range extreme. Jurassic World Dominion is among the elite bass discs.

Positioning places the action in every speaker, sound effects traveling flawlessly between channels. Aggression stays high, splitting the fronts as well as the rears. Music mixes wonderfully, audible among the heaviest action without losing focus on the scale. Heights factor in where needed, from water droplets splashing around to flying animals flapping wings.
