Out of this 'World'

Nothing can top the surprise, wonder and terror of the original "Jurassic Park," but darned if "Jurassic World" doesn't equal it — with loads of dark humor, to boot. The movie picks up 22 years later, when the vision of a gleaming Epcot-like dino park is reality. With bigger, badder dinosaurs, though, things inevitably go wrong. On Blu-ray, an hour's worth of extras delve into the making of the film, including a fun sitdown with director Colin Trevorrow and star Chris Pratt. But there are holes: Trevorrow is too big a fan not to do commentary; Pratt is too goofy not to include outtakes, and there are too many fun inside references to the first film not to have a trivia track. So expect a special-edition re-release in the near future. Can't wait.
