Do I get native 4k Ultra HD?

Yes. Trevorrow brought in cinematographer John Schwartzman, with whom he shot the first Jurassic World. This collaboration led to the same process as in the first instalment, where virtually the entire movie was shot on large-format analogue film. Specifically, the bulk of Dominion is shot on 65mm, which was subsequently replaced (as the laboratories capable of processing such large format were closed during the pandemic) by Vistavision - a kind of alternative to large format recording, which uses a 35mm negative, but which is exposed horizontally, so that when shot in a 2.00:1 aspect ratio, the negative has almost the same exposure area as a conventional 65mm.

One single scene was shot on digital cameras (in the caves - due to lack of light), but even this was subsequently imprinted onto analogue before being scanned back into digital to preserve the "film look".

In any case, all the analogue material was scanned into digital form, in 4k resolution, for post-production. The resulting master is therefore a native 4k transfer, providing the 4k Ultra HD Blu-ray disc with an enormous amount of visual information with the potential for reference spectacle. At the same time, the image retains the characteristics of the analogue strip: film grain and tremendous exposure flexibility, which the disc can then exploit through HDR. As with the visually extremely well done first part, we can expect a downright epic spectacle and we get a film with a technically superior presentation than what the audience had the opportunity to see in the cinemas.
