I'm not really Shawn Murphy, and you're telling me "Jurassic Park" sounded bad? It had great accoustics. Just listen to JP3. They're so much hiss, and it just sounds so harsh and sterile. I've heard better from Armin Steiner (mostly his work with Bruce Broughton), but his collaborations with Don Davis have been pretty weak in my opinion. Just to prove I'm not a huge Shawn Murphy fan, I felt Episode II sounded terrible in terms of recording quality.
