When attempting to look critically at a piece of cinema like the Jurassic Park franchise, particularly the feature that started it off, a person from this writer’s generation must not only judge the features on singular scales of quality, but must also get past one huge roadblock: nostalgia.

I don’t know how many people who will read this are in a similar boat, but the Jurassic Park franchise is one of the first true-blue cinematic experience of this generation. Coming out in 1993, Jurassic Park played as the first real memorable cinematic experience for this generation, imprinting an eye of grandeur and spectacle on a group of people, so much so that the repercussions are still being felt today. Hell, it’s also a genuinely fantastic feature film.

It’s one of the ultimate summer movie blockbusters of the past two decades, a fantastic rollercoaster ride packed with thrills and wonders that brought dinosaurs into the modern age in a big way. It’s Jurassic Park and today, Universal Studios Home Entertainment has released the film and its two sequels in Blu-Ray and DVD Ultimate Trilogy box sets, as well as in a limited edition Blu-ray Gift Set, the latter of which comes with a custom T-rex dinosaur statue.

Both box sets include Jurassic Park and its two sequels, The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park III, in a trilogy box set that includes updated picture and sound quality and hours of bonus features. Among these features is “Return to Jurassic Park,” an all-new six-part documentary about the series, along with digital copies of all three Jurassic Park movies and exclusive Blu-Ray content.

Captain America: The First Avenger is coming to DVD, 2-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo and limited edition 3-Disc Blu-ray 3D on October 25, 2011 and Paramount Studios has just released a trailer for the forthcoming Blu-ray. You can check out the video along with the Blu-ray cover and a full list of specs below at the end of this article.

Captain America: The First Avenger
Directed by Joe Johnston
Starring Chris Evan, Hugo Weaving, Hayley Atwell, Tommy Lee Jones

In 1992, 9-year-old me entered a video store and struck gold. Among the shelves and shelves of VHS tapes was a single copy of Captain America: The Movie. Already a comic (not to mention Captain America) fan, you can only imagine how excited I was to view what I assumed would be a masterpiece. The movie was anything but and left much to be desired, but 9-year-old me loved the hell out of it. Despite its shortcomings and flaws, watching Captain America throw his shield for the first time just blew my mind. Fast forward to nearly 20 years later, I wondered if the latest Marvel Studios movie, Captain America: The First Avenger would do the very same thing.

With America just stepping into World War II, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) wanted nothing more than to serve his country. Despite being constantly rejected by recruitment agencies due to his meek size, Rogers’ unflagging persistence pays off and catches the attention of a scientist by the name of Abraham Erskine (Stanley Tucci). Erskine enlists him in a top secret super solider program. Injected with a Super-Soldier serum and bathed in “Vita Rays,” Rogers is transformed into a perfect human specimen. He becomes more than just a super soldier, but a symbol for America. He becomes Captain America.
