The 35mm scan, however, presents the film with the that characterized original release prints. As one reviewer noted, the colors are "exactly the same as those seen in theaters during the premiere". The 35mm print used as the source for this fan release remained unfaded, with saturation that required no artificial boosting.
The version reveals that hidden real estate. Specifically, "Superwide Open Matte Top" suggests a custom regrade where the scanner has opened the aperture to reveal the maximum amount of image data from the top of the frame—data that has been cropped out of every home video release since 1993.
Standard widescreen films are shot on full-frame 35mm film but are masked (cropped) in the theater to create a widescreen rectangular image (usually 1.85:1 or 2.39:1). An "Open Matte" presentation removes these black bars, revealing the image at the top and bottom of the frame that was never intended to be seen in theaters.

Movies are filmed with a larger image area than what is often projected in theaters. The film is shot in a "full-frame" aspect ratio (usually 1.37:1 or 4:3), but the top and bottom are masked off ("matted") in the cinema to create a widescreen image, typically 1.85:1 or 2.39:1 (superwide).

As noted, the CGI dinosaurs were only rendered for the 1.85:1 widescreen frame. If the film stayed Open Matte during the T. rex escape, you would see the wires, incomplete render edges, or blank spaces where the CGI doesn't exist. The "snap" to widescreen is necessary to maintain the illusion of the dinosaurs.
Official 4K releases of Jurassic Park are typically derived from the original camera negative (OCN), scanned at 6K, then digitally scrubbed, degrained, and color-timed to modern Rec.709 or DCI-P3 standards. The result is beautiful, but clinical.
